Read along to see my tips, tricks, and FAQ’s for booking in your Auckland Pregnancy Photoshoot.
It’s so overwhelming to find a maternity photographer– right? There are so many to choose from.
Go with a maternity photographer you can relate to, feel confident with, and of course love their style! It’s really important they have attention to detail and can easily relax you, loosen you up, and make you laugh a little.
Make sure to prioritise the investment, not the price! It’s such a significant milestone in your life and you want these maternity photos to last a lifetime.
We love clients who are invested in us, clients price shopping around and after a deal will always miss the finer details that are paramount, especially in the output process.
If budget is an issue chat with your photographer about their payment plans, almost every photographer should have a layby option or finance program.
Some of our clients like to pay us monthly before their session has even started, so they have credit to spend at their design consultation.
I always advise clients to read through google reviews too, this gives you an opportunity to know what your pregnancy photographer will be like to work with.
Also, take a look at our other baby- Milk Intimates Photography, to figure out what aesthetic you’re after.
Short answer- As soon as you remember! We’re a busy studio so it’s essential to have a booking in advance. We like to allow enough time to have a pre-consultation about the type of session you’re after, whether it be indoors at our photography studio, or outdoors in many of our secret magical locations.
The best time to have the actual maternity photo shoot with our Auckland pregnancy photographer is when your tummy is visibly round. (normally between 30-34 weeks) You don’t want to leave it too late as sometimes babies arrive early, we may also need to allow time to reschedule if it’s raining.
We talk about this at your pre-consultation, this gives you the opportunity to try on all our gowns, and see our beautiful backdrops, artwork, and products. We have many beautiful fabrics to use too. If you’re doing tasteful maternity nudes then you won’t need that much at all! We want you to feel as beautiful and confident as possible. If your partner is joining the session we advise a neutral, organic color palette, white, cream, beige, and jeans or khaki pants.
We allow up to one hour for all our shoots, also depends on the look of the photos you’re after. If you’re getting hair and makeup you’ll need to add additional time.
Only the best! You’ll be all prepared with the preparation guide sent out prior to your photoshoot. Once the creative juices are flowing and we’ve shown you a photo on the back of the camera you’ll be away laughing. Quite often I find this gives you all the confidence you need to feel amazing!
Enter your text hereIt’s not about twenty duplicated smiles in the same pose, or photos that all look the same. You want a handful of some of the best shots, so you can actually create a tangible product to walk away with. No one wants a disc of photos that just sit in a drawer, do they?
