FAQ's for Maternity Sessions
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A MATERNITY SESSION?
Maternity Sessions are best done between 30-35 weeks before your little baby prepares itself for birth & moves down into your pelvis for birth. This remarkable little manoeuvre makes your belly “drop” & is not very flattering on camera. Some mums never drop, some drop well before 32 weeks…it’s all up to you!
CAN WE HAVE OUR SESSION ON THE WEEKEND?
Sessions are held on a Monday and a Wednesday for Maternity Shoots. I do not work on weekends
HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION GO FOR?
Maternity Sessions are 1 Hour. Time is not extended if you are late
CAN WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR SESSION?
My sessions are done at my studio in Clyde. I do not do Outdoor Sessions or On Location Shoots
CAN MY PARTNER AND OTHER CHILDREN BE INCLUDED?
Yes of course, you can include your partner or other children at no extra cost
MAY I INVITE FAMILY MEMBERS TO THE SESSION?
Your session is exclusive to 2 adults. I like to keep the maximum family members at this session to the immediate family members only. Too many people trying to get your child to smile or talking, will distract your child.
IS HAIR AND MAKEUP INCLUDED?
Makeup and Hair is not Included. This will need to be done or organised by you prior to arriving for your session
Here are some details for some Hair and Make Up Artists that may suit your needs

CAN I SELECT THE IMAGES/SETUPS THAT I WANT FOR THE MATERNITY SESSION?
Of course you can. Once your deposit is received I will send you a questionnaire for you to fill out to help me prepare for your session and get to know you. I also ask if you wish to send me sceen shots of the images of mine that you would like for your shoot.
