The excitement. The love. The glow of an expecting mother. There's nothing else quite like the moments you share as you stand on the cusp of a new chapter in your life together as a family. A maternity photoshoot can be bundled with a newborn photoshoot for a discounted price.
A maternity photoshoot is 45 minutes and includes 20 custom-edited photos delivered in both color and black & white.
My maternity photos are full of movement and laughter and snuggles and adventure. We’ll move around quite a bit in pursuit of beautiful light and sweet little moments as you celebrate this exciting new chapter in your family's story. May the pictures we capture together at this special time forever be a reminder of how incredible you are and how much joy you have in your heart to meet your new little love.
I typically schedule maternity photos between 28 - 34 weeks. This timing allows us to capture your beautiful baby belly and also gives us a bit of wiggle room in case the baby arrives a little earlier than the due date so you don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity. I wrote an entire blog post about this topic, so click HERE if you're looking for more guidance on when to schedule your maternity photoshoot!
Maternity photos are once-in-a-lifetime memories that will always hold a special place alongside your wedding & newborn photos in your heart and in your home. This is one of those moments to wear something special, and there’s nothing more flattering than a long, flowy dress. Dresses tend to look most stunning in pictures because they really highlight the gorgeous glow of an expecting mother.
I recommend choosing a long, flowy maxi dress for maternity photos because they’re flattering, bring extra movement and dimension to your photos, add a bit of romance to walking shots, and look especially gorgeous against natural backdrops like greenery, fields, and flowers.
If selecting a maternity dress for your photoshoot feels overwhelming, I've got you covered! I have a Client Closet collection of bump-friendly dresses for expecting moms to borrow, so we can schedule a time for you to try on dresses before your photoshoot. Or if you decide to buy a special dress for the occasion, I'll share my shopping link with dress ideas from some of my favorite online shops for maternity dresses for inspiration.
The entire editing process--from the date of your maternity photoshoot to when you receive your final pictures--is about 4 weeks. Your proofing gallery will be ready for you to select your favorite pictures within 2 weeks after your maternity photoshoot. Then once you pick out your favorite photos, I'll complete the final editing process within 2 weeks and send you the link to your private final image gallery where you can view and download the full resolution files of your photos.
I'm so excited to capture some beautiful memories with you and your growing family! Please email me at kristinbrockmanphotography@gmail.com to reserve your maternity photoshoot. For new clients, I'll send you a short questionnaire to gather your family's basic info. Then I'll send you my Style Guide and we'll schedule a time for you to try on dresses from my Client Closet to help you find the perfect dress for your maternity photos. I'll also share some of my favorite locations for maternity photos in and around the Pottstown area so we can pick a beautiful spot for maternity photography. Once we've selected a date and location for our photoshoot, I'll email you a contract and invoice so you can easily sign and submit your retainer payment online. Then comes the hardest part...eagerly counting down the days to your maternity photoshoot!
