Frequently asked questions about maternity photography
What is a maternity photo session?
A maternity photo session is a chance to celebrate and document the beauty, joy and anticipation of pregnancy. A mother's changing body is miraculous and something to celebrate!
When should I book maternity photos?
I recommend contacting me to book your maternity photo session during the last part of the first trimester or early second trimester of your pregnancy. Pregnancy photo sessions are best done between about 27 and 34 weeks gestation, when the baby bump is visible but you still have the space and energy to move around.
Where is a maternity photo session done?
You can choose to do a maternity photo session in the photography studio in Sandy, or you can choose a location outdoors. The benefit of choosing an indoor studio session is that we can schedule it at any time of the day. With an outdoor session, we will be limited to the timing of weather and natural light (evening sessions prior to sunset are usually best). We will discuss your options further when you book a session.
What to wear for a maternity photo session?
I want you to feel beautiful and also comfortable during your pregnancy photos. I have a selection of gorgeous maternity dresses that photograph well. You are welcome to choose that option, but if dresses aren't your thing, feel free to wear what you feel comfortable in.
How long does a maternity photo session last?
A maternity photo session will last between 1-2 hours, depending on how many outfit changes or location changes there are.
Can my family be included in maternity photos?
Of course! Immediate family including any other children you have are welcome at the maternity session.
What if my baby comes early before maternity photos are done?
I have many cake smash photography clients that are amazed at the beautiful photos I get, even when their baby was crawling or running away, or less than cooperative (because, let's face it, what toddler is perfectly cooperative??). I am very good with babies and children, and I even have a few tricks up my sleeve! I promise to do everything in my power to capture beautiful photos worthy of placing on your walls!

Why is maternity photography so expensive?
Knowing how to style and pose a mama-to-be takes time and education, both of which I have invested in these sessions. The backdrops in studio and the maternity gowns in the client closet are handmade from the best vendors, and are quite expensive. My images are also hand edited to deliver you high quality art.
Where is your portrait studio located?
My maternity photography sessions are done in my studio in Sandy, near Salt Lake City, Utah, or on location.
