Maternity Photoshoot
What to expect from a session with Heather
So your currently looking at booking a maternity session to capture your pregnancy journey? With so many options and styles to choose from like any photo session I like to ensure that each client I work with has a full understanding of what I offer in terms of style and experience.
Styles - Editorial or Glamorous (or both)
You might have already had a mooch through my socials and website but you will notice I offer both a contemporary/Editorial style and a more romantic style which includes gowns. We can do just one kind of style or mix it up and have a bit of both.
Experience
I have been studio photographer for almost 11 years, specialising in styled Maternity for about 5 years. As a women myself who has experienced pregnancy there probably isn’t a question or worry I haven’t heard from someone booking in. Each client gets a personalised Zoom call prior to their session to discuss outfits, Hair and Make up, editing, what to bring etc. We will also discuss images you love, and what you hope to go away with after your session.
The session
The session normally takes around one hour. There’s normally time for 4 different outfits within our hour slot. Each final gallery has 25+ images to choose from. You will always receive a dress catalogue prior to your session to choose what you like. There’s always a mirror on hand for you to check yourself and your look. Partners and children can also be involved if you wish. I will show you how to pose (and relax) its very rare that clients come who are models. 99% of my clients are regular ladies who just look like models once I haven’t finished with them :)
What I offer
A fun, relaxed environment, I am very down to earth and I like every women to walk away feeling like a princess. I have years of experience and have trained with some of the best photographers in the world. A day away from scruffy bun and comfy pregnancy clothes. A day feeling glamorous and glorious. I supply all the gowns, fabric and outfits (including editorial bodies, crops and outfits)
When to book
For most women I suggest 32-36 weeks as by this point most ladies have a good size bump. However if you want to have your session before or after this point that’s fine too. I feel as women we know when we feel our best. Also with second or Third pregnancy some bumps pop sooner so we can do earlier.
What to bring to your session?
Underwear normally skin colour for under gowns and fabrics, or if you want any underwear photographed you can bring that too. Jewellery, Hair bobbles and pins (if you want to amend your hair mid session). Water (modelling can be thirsty work). Your partner and children too if you want them to be involved.
Products and turnaround
About 2-3 weeks after your session we will do a gallery viewing appointment this is ether in studio to via zoom. For Maternity I offer a range of collections which include both some digitals and products these start at £245. Most Maternity clients love matted prints, albums and smaller display pieces although wall art is also an option.
Exclusive Newborn session discount
Each Maternity client also gets £50 off their newborn session. Its lovely to follow your journey and be the person you bring your baby too for their newborn session.
