When should I schedule my shoot?
I advise six to ten weeks before your due date, but.....
Scheduling depends on how your pregnancy progresses.
If you're slowing down, schedule earlier.
If you're having multiples, schedule earlier.
If you're feeling great, schedule when it's convenient and you like your shape!



What should I wear for my photo shoot?
Wear anything you feel comfortable in and LOVE. Avoid patterns, stripes and plaids unless you love they are a true representation of you personality.
I like solid colors: white, black and brown
Pants - jeans (any color), black pants
Necklines - select v-necks, squarenecks, turtlenecks or deep scoop necks. Avoid crewnecks.
Bring long-sleeved tops, and preferably any top that opens down the front if it's not clingy.
Shirts - big, white, button-down rumpled man's shirt
Tanks - anything fitted or stretchy in solid colors (white, black, red, blue...)
Underwear - bring white, black and nude underwear of any form; boy shorts, thongs or bikinis. If you don't have these, don't necessarily go out to buy them. We'll figure it out...



What should my husband wear to the photo shoot?
Men should bring jeans or khaki pants or any other dark bottoms
I encourage rumpled (not starched), plain white shirts
Throw a regular, WHITE crew-neck t-shirt in the bag, too.
Bring solid, dark colors like black, dark brown, navy blue and charcoal gray tops and bottoms. Layers are great; wear the t-shirt under a crew- or v-neck sweater or jacket.
   
   
What should I bring to my photo shoot?
Bring large or small props that have meaning. Bring your wedding veil, stuffed animals, building blocks, flowers...


What does the photographer provide?
White and gold drapery
A big, white sheet



What should I do in advance of the photo session?
Get a manicure and a pedicure a day or two in advance
Wear makeup! If you don't choose the full package, you'll get the best results if you do your own makeup or visit a makeup center prior to your shoot. Call to talk about these options.
Don't wear anything binding to the shoot - you don't want marks on your skin.



What happens after the shoot?
I will post several of your images in a private, password-protected gallery within 24 hours of your shoot. We'll then make an appointment for you to return to the studio for your order session.



These images are extremely private. Can I restrict the photographer's use?
This is a common request. I completely understand that you might not want to share these very personal images with the world. Just let me know and I will most certainly respect your privacy.



Can I get a CD or digital files?
I make a CD with all your proofs at 4.4x6.7 inches @ 72dpi available for purchase. This size is perfect for screensavers and emailing to friends and family. It is not dense enough for printing.

High resolution,unprocessed files are available at $500 each, or an image buyout for $3,000 for all files from your shoot. You must sign a statement saying you will never, ever sell my photos no matter how famous you become!

I occasionally sell a finished digital image for a birth announcement or other personal use.
