FAQ

Yes of course! but I do not allow any more than a boyfriend/husband or one friend with you! Sometimes your best friend is exactly what you need to calm your nerves and give you the reassurance you need to get started with your session! I understand that having a new baby is an exciting time for everyone in the family but due to limited space, and many backdrops changes I limit my sessions to 2 adults only.

My specialty is photographing pregnant woman – that’s in any level of dress or undress, which involves wearing lingerie, a lace bodysuit, maternity long dresses, lace robes and beautiful selection of silk draping all above is provided for your session. If you wish you can bring a few of your favourite dresses and outfits along.

My signature style is the ” tasteful nude” look and many clients choose to do them during their session. This involves a certain level of undress (either lingerie, loungewear, or nothing at all. These are meant to embrace a woman’s femininity. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, confident, empowered so I rely on my strategic poses and angles to play down “problem” areas that concern you.

In a 2-hour photo session, you will typically have time for up to 4-5 “looks” or outfits (yes, “nude” counts as an outfit)! All maternity sessions are tailored specifically to you, once you’ve completed the booking process with me, you will also receive a detailed email that will help you with preparations and wardrobe considerations! And finally, nothing is shared online without your permission, they are your portraits and your privacy is guaranteed.

Your photoshoot will be tailored to you and once you have booked your session we’ll have a little chat over the phone to plan your photoshoot. I will learn from your ideas and expectations. Together we’ll decide on your outfits, colours and styles. I will ensure your session is exciting and your vision becomes a reality.
Professional makeup is not included but highly recommended.

Maternity sessions are best captured between 30-36 weeks, at this stage of your pregnancy you have a beautiful shaped bump and still should feel comfortable to pose. If your schedule does not allow for that I would be happy to work with you on timing. Feel free to call me as soon as possible so we can arrange your maternity session well in advance.

There are three packages available for different budgets based on the amount of photos (5, 10, 15), the entry level package starts at £390 when booking 2/3 sessions combo options will apply so you can save up to £200.

Package prices includes pre-session consultation by phone, your portrait session, post-session processing and preparation of your images . As well as USB with fully edited photos and prints.

Please call me to find out full price list.

My post-processing techniques are more focused on contrast, skin smoothing, sharpening, etc. While I make the skin look it’s best, I try to creating a natural look. I have so much experience that I know exactly what pregnant women will not like in photos. I know how to pose all types of women to look their very best hence not much retouching is needed at the end. I will edit out skin flaws as well as simple things like under-eye circles. I will edit areas that concern you. Smoothing process will fade the appearance of stretch marks, but please be sure to request more or less at your photo shoot appointment if you have a different preference or would like to remove scar/tattoo. I will edit your photos to your liking and preferences. There are as well more special effects such as fine art textures added to the background as well.

Most of my clients book combo option (Maternity + newborn sessions) and it just wouldn’t be practical for them to come back in for their photo reveal appointment before baby session as it’s normally happening after newborn session.

Hence two weeks after your maternity session I will sent you an online gallery with 2 CHOSEN by ME and beautifully edited images of absolutely breathtaking portraits. I will add more unedited photos so you can choose other photos yourself so what you fall in love with and choose as an extra to purchase is entirely up to you.
Than you can collect your prints and digital files when you come back for your newborn baby session. Otherwise I will post prints and usb with digital files to you.
