FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I schedule my maternity photoshoot?

Maternity portraits are best captured between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump has taken shape but you are still as comfortable as possible for a photoshoot. Sessions exclusively take place in our elegant Plymouth, MI studio. Availability is limited and early reservations are highly recommended.

Can my partner or child participate?

Yes! Many clients love incorporating family portraits into their maternity session. I recommend having your partner and children arrive toward the end of the photoshoot, after your solo portraits are completed. For safety, children must be supervised at all times. We recommend bringing a helper if little ones are joining.

Are digital images included?

Each maternity portrait package includes a curated quantity of professionally retouched digital images, chosen by you.

Additional images, luxury albums, fine art prints, and custom wall art are available for purchase and may be added à la carte. Please inquire to view the full artwork and pricing guide. Kindly note unedited images are not provided to clients.

What's available in the client wardrobe?

I have a curated selection of pieces that coincide with the timeless and elegant photography style I offer my clients. This includes form fitting dresses, blazers, white button downs, and silk draping fabrics ranging in sizes S-XL. Prior to your session you will get to select any items from the client wardrobe you wish to use for your maternity photoshoot.

Can I bring my own hair or makeup artist?

Clients who reserve the Diamond Portrait Experience enjoy professional hair and makeup services provided on-site by our trusted, licensed artists. To ensure a seamless and consistent studio experience, outside hair and makeup artists are not permitted at this time.

Clients booking the Signature Portrait Experience are asked to arrive with hair and makeup already completed. Upon request, I am happy to share a list of preferred artists for services prior to your session.

Do you offer albums or prints?

I work with the worlds leading professional imaging lab to turn your precious memories into breathtaking statement wall art, timeless albums, and fine art prints. Every order is made by hand in Italy with artisan craftsmanship from our exclusive private-label line of elegant pieces.

I am completely in love with all of the photos that were taken from my maternity photos to my new baby’s newborn photos! These are the moments that we cannot get back once they’ve passed. I believe in the importance of taking the photos while you can to look back and appreciate these special times. I would highly recommend working with Samantha! She made me feel so comfortable the whole time and made it fun for my daughter which I really appreciated! She was very patient and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
