Our Simple Process
To begin, please send me an email to enquire.
- Booking Once we agree on a date that works for you, we’ll secure your booking and confirm all the details.
- Consultation We’ll have a call to discuss your needs, vision, and preferences. You’ll then receive a helpful online styling guide with tips on outfits, makeup, and how to prepare for your session.
- Session Day We’ll photograph at the location we’ve chosen — either in the studio or at your home.
- Your Images You’ll receive your finished images in a beautiful personalised online gallery where you can download them. You’ll also get a custom mobile app gallery, perfect for viewing and easily sharing with family.
- Video Slideshow A lovely video slideshow of your images is included with every package.
Our Maternity Portrait Sessions are for Mommy’s over 30 weeks, 36 – 38 weeks however, if you are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, please do get in touch with me sooner.
The session is at my studio in Byfleet or it can be at your home.
We will establish the colours that you would like from my selection of all our maternity gowns for you to choose from for your maternity session. We can do even as many as 7 outfits on the day. They will be for you to use as part of your package, depending on which package you select.
Once we have selected your outfits, I will go through the poses with you.
My maternity session’s are about feeling beautiful and providing you with gorgeous, timeless memories to look back on. This is what I absolutely love creating for all of my clients.
The Radiant Bloom Package – Only Mommy
The Eternal Glow – Partner, Siblings and Mommy
The maternity shoot can last between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the package you select.
The Radiant Bloom Package – 1 – 2 hours
The Eternal Glow – 2 -3 hours
You would have to arrive with your hair, make-up and nails done.
Rule of thumb: Apply 10% more makeup than you normally would — it looks perfectly natural on camera during shoots.
For your maternity shoot you must please bring your own bra and underwear. A black strap bra, white strap bra and a nude strapless bra to cover all the different selection of gowns I have for you to choose from depending on the gowns you will select.
After the session, I load the images onto my computer and it will then devote my time on editing them for you.
You can view your images from the comfort of your own home via your own private online gallery approximately 3 weeks after your session
I do not currently provide or sell my raw or unedited images.
