Maternity & Newborns Session Preparation

Because pregnancy and newborns are so beautiful, simplicity is best. For newborns, bring two solid color blankets — one light and one dark. For maternity (a more intimate type of session), bring garments such as a light nightgown, or a button-down white shirt so the belly may be exposed, a tight tank top, or matching undergarments. Any questions about what to wear, you may call and speak with your female photographer for some helpful advice.

Make-up
Wear your normal make-up. The main interest in a fine portrait is the eyes. Mascara enhances the eyes. Eye shadow should be applied lightly; keeping in mind that heavy fluorescent or white eye shadow will give eyes a “ghost flare”. Blemishes that show through your make-up and on your images can be removed by our retouch artist on your finished portraits.

Hair
Unless your hair was done professionally, it’s best not to experiment with a new hairstyle. Wear your hair in a style that you already feel comfortable with.
