6. Do you offer hair and makeup?
Yes! Professional hair and makeup is available as an add-on service to help you feel relaxed, radiant, and pampered on your special day.

7. How long will the session take?
Maternity sessions are usually 60–90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for outfit changes.
8. Where can we go for an on-location session?
Some favorite spots include Orange County’s golden beaches, parks or your backyard. I’ll help you choose a location that feels perfect for your story.

9. What’s the difference in lighting?
Studio lighting gives a polished, timeless look.
Natural light outdoors can feel dreamy, especially at golden hour when the sun is low and warm. 

10. When will I see my photos?
Your images are ready to view within 2–3 weeks. We’ll schedule a viewing and ordering appointment so you can choose your digital files you’ll love for a lifetime.

1. When is the best time for my maternity session?
The sweet spot is between 28–34 weeks—your belly is beautifully rounded, and you still have the energy to enjoy the experience. Every mama is unique, so we’ll find the perfect timing for you.

2. Should I choose an in-studio or on-location session?
Both are wonderful!
In-studio offers privacy, comfort, and gorgeous lighting that’s never at the mercy of the weather.
On-location gives us the beauty of nature—think sandy toes at the beach or soft sunlight in the park.

3. How far ahead should I book?
I recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance so we can secure your preferred date and start planning every detail together.

4. What should I wear?
You’ll have access to my curated client wardrobe filled with flowing gowns, draped fabrics, and flattering silhouettes. Of course, you’re welcome to bring your own outfits for a personal touch.

5. Can my husband and/or children join in?
Absolutely! This is a celebration of your growing family.
