10 Tips to Help Prepare For Your Maternity Portrait Session.

Janesville Contemporary Photographer | Maternity Photography Sessions

  1. Schedule your session in your 30-34th week of pregnancy for the most comfort. If your past that time, don’t stress!

  2. I will guide you through comfortable posing, and I will make sure that you have a wide variety of styles to choose from.

  3. Bring along some special accessories to personalize your shoot. Ultrasound photographs or something with baby’s name can work great.

  4. We provide snacks but please bring some along if you have dietary restrictions or allergies. We will definitely add a snack break in to stay hydrated too.

  5. We will take our time so you can be comfortable. Sessions usually run 60-120 minutes. Please add an hour if you select to have hair and makeup at your session.

  6. Invite your significant other or your other children. We can incorporate them into the shoot. Spend the morning in hair and makeup. Complete your solo shots and have Dad and the kids come in at the end for some special portraits.

  7. Wear a wide variety of clothing that makes you feel beautiful. Don’t just stick to a dress. Jeans and a tee shirt work great too. Try to stay away from patterns. Don’t have a maternity gown? Don’t stress. Jenny Elaine has a variety of dresses to choose from. Some of our options are featured below.

  8. Book your pre shoot consultation. (It’s included in your session) This is the perfect time for us to get to know each other as well as for you to check out the studio and wardrobe choices. We will also go though what your vision is for your session so we can create a experience just for you.

  9. Get plenty of rest and keep up your fluids the day prior.

  10. Don’t stress. Remember this is a beautiful moment. We are here to assist you in this special day. Let us pamper you!
