Maternity sessions are a beautiful way to celebrate baby’s first portrait and create memories to remember the life you are growing inside you. These sessions are a way to show off how much love you have for your baby even before you meet them.

Here are a few general tips to help you prepare for your maternity portrait session

• Feel free to use this session as an excuse to PAMPER yourself! If you can, get a manicure and pedicure and your hair done before the session. If you aren’t able to get a mani/pedi beforehand be sure that your nail polish is chip free and/or painted in a non distracting color as your hands (and toes) will make their way into the images.

• The night before the session try and get plenty of rest. There will be some walking for outdoor sessions and lots of standing to get these beautiful shots!

• Eat a FULL meal the night before and a light meal before your session. Also, bring plenty of water and a healthy snack with you.

• Makeup is strongly recommended. I suggest going a bit heaver on the mascara and eye liner. Also wear a lipstick that stands out a little or shows contract to your natural skin color. This helps the photos tremendously especially any photos from a distance. Remember to bring some makeup and lipstick along for touchups.

• Wear undergarments that are nude/skin color and fit well and are not too tight or that can cause "puckers" underneath the dress. Strapless bras with support are recommended depending on the cut of the dress.

• If you plan on showing a bare bump, remove any undergarments or anything with an elastic straps or waistbands that can leave a mark, and make sure to moisturize your belly at least an hour before the session.

• Leave watches at home (this includes family members who will be in the photos) Bring or wear your favorite pieces of jewelry that compliment your outfit.

• Prepare to be barefoot for several shots, but also bring a pair of cute sandals or heels depending on the look you desire. In addition, bring comfy walking shoes or sneakers for outdoor sessions.

• If your partner is joining you for this session, I recommend that he wears a color that compliments what you are wearing. I suggest a twill or khaki pant with a fitted knit or button up top. If possible, avoid polo shirts as they can sometimes be unflattering. I suggest solid, light, neutral colors for his shirt, and avoid logos, words, or busy patterns. Also, they need to have groomed nails, as well as they will be a focal point in some of the images.
