Frequently Asked Questions: Denver Maternity Photography

What makes your maternity photography sessions unique?

I believe that maternity portraits should be more than just photos—they should be custom pieces of art that capture your unique journey into motherhood. My approach combines personalized styling, expert posing, and transformative editing to create timeless, stunning images. Every session is tailored to you and your family, ensuring you feel celebrated and beautiful.

Do you provide maternity gowns and accessories for the photoshoot?

Yes! I offer a curated collection of high-end designer maternity gowns, jewelry, and accessories to make sure you look and feel your best during your session. You’ll have access to these pieces during our pre-session fitting, which takes place in the comfort of your home.

What types of gowns do you offer?

I offer a variety of maternity gowns to suit different styles and preferences. My collection includes everything from form-fitting knit gowns to elegant lace, luxurious satin, sparkling sequins, and dramatic tossing trains. I also have gowns in every color of the rainbow, as well as gold and black. Each gown is chosen to highlight your beauty and create stunning, timeless images.

What is a pre-session fitting and styling appointment?

Before your photoshoot, I will come to your home for a pre-session fitting and styling appointment. During this time, we will select the gowns you will use for your session as well as perfect outfits for your family members who will be part of the session. I provide guidance on wardrobe choices to ensure everyone looks cohesive and stylish.

How do you pose pregnant women to ensure they look their best?

With 17 years of experience in maternity photography, I specialize in posing pregnant women in ways that highlight their baby bump and beautiful curves. I guide you through each pose, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident. My goal is to capture your natural beauty and create images that make you feel empowered and proud.

Can you help us choose the best location for the photoshoot?

Absolutely! I’ll work with you to select a location that reflects your style and vision. Whether you’re drawn to the natural beauty of the mountains or the unique charm of the city, I’ll guide you to the perfect spot. We can explore breathtaking outdoor locations or urban settings to enhance your portraits and create an unforgettable experience.

What is included in the editing process?

The editing process is where the magic truly happens. I enhance lighting, colors, and details to elevate your portraits into stunning works of art. Depending on your vision, I can even add creative elements such as snowfall for winter sessions or blooming wildflowers for spring shoots. Every detail is thoughtfully refined to create images you’ll cherish forever.

Can you customize the images to fit a specific theme or vision?

Yes! I love bringing creative visions to life. If you have a specific theme or dream scene in mind, we can incorporate that into your session. From whimsical touches to dramatic edits, I’ll ensure your maternity portraits reflect your unique style and story.

How far in advance should I book my maternity session?

I recommend booking your maternity session during your second trimester to ensure availability. The ideal time to capture maternity portraits is between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy when your baby bump is beautifully visible but you’re still comfortable.

What should I bring to my maternity photoshoot?

You don’t need to bring anything! Have your family come dressed in the clothing we chose, and I'll bring you gowns and accessories. The only time you need to bring anything else is if there’s a personal item you’d like to include.

Can my partner and other children participate in the photoshoot?

Absolutely! Your maternity session is a celebration of your growing family, and I encourage you to include your partner and children in the shoot. Capturing these moments together creates meaningful, lasting memories that showcase the love and excitement surrounding your new addition. I will guide everyone through posing to ensure the final images feel cohesive and natural.

How long does it take to receive the final images?

We will schedule a viewing and selection appointment about a week after your session, where you’ll have the opportunity to choose your favorite images. From there, I will edit your final selections to perfection. The editing process typically takes about 2-3 weeks to complete. Once finished, you’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery of your final images.

How long does it take to receive wall art?

Once your digital gallery is complete, I’ll order your wall art. The production process typically takes an additional 2-3 weeks. I work with trusted professional labs to ensure your wall art is of the highest quality and ready to be proudly displayed in your home.

Can I split my payments for the session and package?

The session fee must be paid in full to reserve your session date. However, I do offer flexible payment options for packages. You can split payments on packages, but the session fee and base package fee must be fully paid at least two weeks before your scheduled shoot.

Why should I choose you as my Denver maternity photographer?

When you choose me, you’re investing in a one-of-a-kind experience. From personalized styling and expert posing to transformative editing, every step of the process is designed to make you feel celebrated, beautiful, and empowered.
