Maternity Portrait Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I wear?
Answer: I have a few select styles of dresses I recommend and am happy to share ideas and inspiration to make sure you feel beautiful and comfortable. The session length always allows for a change of clothing, so you are welcome to plan on wearing two different outfits.
Q: Can my family be included in this?
Answer: I'm happy to have your partner, kids, or both included in your session. You will be the primary focus of the session, but at the time of booking you can tell me what types of images you want the most of (e.g., "a few of me, but a lot of my partner and I" or "mostly wanting photos of me, but a few of the whole family would be perfect too.")
Q: Do you offer newborn photo sessions too?
Answer: Yes! I specifically offer in-home newborn lifestyle sessions. You can book a family session and include details about your newborn session in the booking form. This is a good example of what I capture at home of a newborn. Here is another sample. Alternatively, if you are not interested in me coming to your home, we can rent a local beautiful studio in Kalamazoo and meet there for your session for an additional $60 fee.
Q: Since we are booking a session at an outdoor location, what about bad weather?
Answer: I keep an eye on the weather in the days leading up to your session and you will know the morning-of if it's looking like we need to reschedule. Your deposit moves with you to your new date. Sunshine, clouds, and even overcast are all do-able. Rainy and (windy) snow is a no-go.
Q: How will I get my images?
Answer: After a week and a half, I'll post a preview blog post on my website so you can see a few sample images. You can opt out of this if you wish, but most families see it as a nice way to share your preview with family/friends as you wait for your full gallery. Within about two weeks of your session, I'll send you a personalized online gallery with plenty of image options for you. This private gallery will allow you to download your images for free. Once you download your images, you can share them, save them, and even print them on your own.
Q: Do the sessions come with printed products?
Answer: Your session fee covers the time we spend together and a certain number of high-resolution digital downloads. Your gallery has a shop feature where you can order any printed products as you wish, but I do not require you to order printed products from me. People frequently order print packs, framed photos, canvases, or photo books of their favorite images.
