No modeling experience? No problem. My job is to guide you every step of the way with natural prompts and gentle posing that brings out your real emotions — not anything stiff or awkward. 

For Mom: If you are bringing your own outfits

• Flowy dresses or form-fitting gowns that highlight your bump

• Soft, neutral, or earthy tones photograph best

• Avoid bold patterns, logos, or anything super bright

• Bring two outfit options if you’d like variety

For Dad/Partner (if attending):

• Neutral tones or soft colors that complement mom’s outfit

• khakis or jeans with a button-up, or simple solid tee

• Skip logos, graphic tees, and busy patterns

Solo Mama? Rock the same looks above. Whether you feel radiant or just proud to have made it out the door — I’ve got you. You don’t need a partner in the frame to make these photos powerful.

Your hands will be featured up close.

A few quick prep tips:

• Moisturize those hands (night before + morning of)

• Nail polish — or go natural

• Wear your wedding band or special jewelry if you’d like

• Avoid chipped nail polish (hands get the VIP close-up treatment!)

• Treat yourself to a pedicure

Here are a few ways to feel your best before the big day:

• Stay hydrated and eat a light snack

• Avoid tight clothes beforehand to prevent skin marks

• Pack any sentimental items (ultrasound pic, baby shoes, heirlooms, etc)

• Trust the process — I promise you don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera!

If you're coming as a couple, expect lots of cuddling, laughing, and moments where I’ll have you connect through touch and movement — nothing cheesy, just the real love between you two. If you're solo, get ready for a calm, empowering experience that focuses on your strength, grace, and beauty.

Don’t worry about looking perfect — you’re already glowing, and I’ll take care of the rest.
