Shreveport, Louisiana Maternity Photographer | PLAN YOUR MATERNITY SESSION

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK MATERNITY?

The best time to book your maternity session is in your first or second trimester. It is never too early in my opinion. Due to high demand, I usually book 3-4 months in advance. Even if you think it’s too late to book, it never hurts to reach out. Sometimes I have unexpected openings. I also only accept a limited amount of clients per months so I can ensure every one gets the experience they deserve.

WHEN DO YOU SHOOT THE MATERNITY SESSIONS?

Maternity sessions take place 30-34 weeks. You will be able to try on dresses 2 weeks prior. If you book a newborn session, I only accept a few a month. We schedule the newborn around two weeks so you are able to get home and situated. I recommend doing them before 20 days. If I have a last minute opening, I can try to accommodate your family.

IS IT BEST TO BOOK A MATERNITY SESSION WITH A NEWBORN SESSION?

Yes because 9 times out of 10, I might be booked by the time you book your maternity session.

CAN I DO GOWNS AND MATERNITY BOUDOIR (NUDE/LIFESTYLE)?

ABSOLUTELY! I love adding lifestyle shots with the bed or sheet shots. You also can never go wrong with nude or body jewelry. It gives your gallery a bigger variety plus it compliments your belly.

HOW MANY SET UPS DO I GET?

It all depends if you want lifestyle/boudoir or not. I typically do 5-6 looks with multiple backdrops. That does not include outdoors.

DOES THE SESSION FEE INCLUDE ANY DIGITALS?

Digitals and products are sold separately. The session fee includes your spot, makeup and hair, refreshments, access to my professional client closet, up to four gowns, 2 hour shooting time, parents/sibling shots, styling and guidance, and your ordering session.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO BRING? NOTHING!

GOWNS

We all know gowns can get costly. Especially for wearing them one time for a session. I started my client closet and currently have 100+ pieces. That does not include body jewelry, robes, body suits, and etc.. I order from well known vendors around the world who are known for their incredible quality. I knew when offering gowns, I wanted the best quality. You will be able to try on any gowns you like. You get to choose up to four gowns.

MAKEUP AND HAIR

Don’t worry, you can come in how you want while you get pampered with hair and makeup. Just another bonus for my amazing clients. I want the experience to be stress free. I know as a photographer, it might be hard juggling everything while going to two separate places. Especially when you have children. That’s why we offer hair and makeup in studio. While getting makeup and hair, we can look over the outfits you brought for your spouse and/or children.

SET UPS

My studio is designed for maternity, newborn, and boudoir. What does that mean? That means endless possibilities for your maternity session. On average, I do 5-6 looks plus multiple backdrops. You will never regret having a variety to choose from at your ordering session. You can look back and know you got everything in one instead of choosing one over the other. You also have the option to take some in my lifestyle set up with a bed. Maternity boudoir truly compliments the belly while getting elegant photographs surrounding your pregnancy. This does not include outdoor photographs too.

REFRESHMENTS

The studio is fully stocked with drinks and snacks. I probably half almost everything you can think of. Want lunch? I can grab it. I am a personalized photographer who offers an experience. I don’t look at your experience as just a photoshoot. I want it to be something deeper. So you can leave knowing you got the service you deserved. You can imagine having an idea or vision and being let down. It isn’t a great feeling because you expected more.

YOUR CUSTOMIZED SESSION

No two sessions will be exactly alike. You will receive a questionnaire that is detailed. That way I can get to know you even more. I want to know your hobbies, what music you love, and your story. I can’t completely capture your story if I don’t know you well enough. I want to see what colors compliment your complexion. I want to see what outfits compliment the backdrops. This includes your spouse/children. They are always welcomed to join in. I actually HIGHLY encourage it because those are some of the sweetest shots. You are only pregnant for a short time (I know it feels long) but you want the ones who mean the most to you in them as well. You might try on or like colors/styles that you didn’t think you would. That’s why I am there to help you decide as a professional.

YOUR ORDERING SESSION

You will be able to enjoy your lunch or refreshments while you watch a slideshow with all your photographs. Whichever you prefer. I make boards for my clients or I can pick up lunch. Depends on the status for COVID though. It’s everyone’s favorite part. I LOVE being able to see my client’s reactions while they watch their little one who has probably already grown more since the session. You get to customize your own collection with your favorite products and favorite digitals. You only purchase what you absolutely love instead of being stuck with something you might not actually love. Once the product arrives, you will FALL IN LOVE. I always get the best compliments for products. How much better they look then digitals. Who knows how many times you will look at the digitals or where they will end up. It’s almost like Christmas session my client’s reaction. You get to make your house an actual home. I do recommend printing through me because I know how they are supposed to look so color and quality is VERY important to me.
