PLANNING YOUR MATERNITY SESSION

Snow Pixie Photography offers maternity sessions for expecting mothers. Your partner and children are welcome to join in the session. I love maternity sessions! Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a woman’s and her partner’s life. The bond between expecting parents and their baby, and each other, is beautiful, and it is so much fun to capture.

I enjoy getting to know the mama-to-be and the couple, and spending time documenting this moment in time with them. I want my maternity sessions to match the style of my mamas, so whether you are casual, dressed in tulle and a crown of flowers, or anything in between, I want to capture YOU! I want you to feel comfortable and beautiful. It’s about love: love for yourself and your body, love for your partner, and love for a growing being. Let me capture you!

Thinking about a Newborn Session? I recommend booking Newborn sessions in your second or third trimester as I often book up about 2 to 3 months in advance, and take only a limited number of newborn clients each month to ensure I have sufficient flexibility for early or late arrivals. Plus, mamas that book their maternity sessions as an add-on to their newborn sessions get discounted pricing!

What to Wear?

Maternity sessions are all about the bump, so I recommend wearing something form fitting that shows off your belly. You should choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful, in a style that you love. I have an inventory of maternity gowns. If you are interested in wearing them for your maternity session, ask me!

Locations

My maternity sessions are outdoor sessions at the location of your choice or studio sessions. I recommend early morning (to beat the Texas heat and for soft beautiful light) or early evening sessions. I also offer sunset sessions. I have a number of locations I love around Austin, and am always happy to try new locations.

What to bring?

You may bring a second outfit if you are changing outfits. I also recommend bringing a bottle of water as hydration is very important when you are pregnant. Otherwise, just come ready to capture beautiful images of you and your belly!

What to expect?

I keep my sessions relaxed and fun. We will walk around a beautiful location and capture a variety of images of you as well as you and your partner if your partner is present. I will guide you in natural poses that capture the love, closeness and beauty of the moment.
