“Oh my goodness! Our album is breathtaking! It’s so beautiful Shannon! Thank you so much! Seeing them in printed is so different... it also gives me a better idea of the ones I want printed for our home.”
“Our experience with Shannon was wonderful! I remember being anxious leading up to my delivery, and her communication and flexibility totally put my mind at ease. She was so patient and helpful during our shoot and at the end of out session I truly felt like she had captured images we would cherish forever. Our photos were absolutely outstanding and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a newborn or family photographer. ”
From hair & makeup, to what to wear, we will work with you to customize and design the perfect style for your maternity portraits. I have gowns in the studio that you are welcome to borrow, or I can help you choose your own. We will plan your final artwork, and when your newborn session will take place.
Studio, at home lifestyle, or outdoor; a typical maternity portrait session is about an hour. You can choose a studio session as well as an outdoor session if you would like both. This would be about a 2 hour photography session, as well as about an hour for hair and makeup (they can come to you or you are welcome to make your appointment at the studio.)
Your viewing and ordering appointment is when you get to see your images for the first time and order what you love! Most maternity clients choose the baby plan and order images to go into their first year album or 3 image wall grouping. You will get see all of the options at the studio as well.
Seeing your portraits in print is honestly the best part of the entire photography experience. We will also plan your next session at this time if you are part of the 1st year baby plan.
From a fine art canvas beautifully hanging over your baby's crib, to a keepsake album displayed on a shelf in the nursery... I love to see images of your artwork in your home. I'll definitely ask you to send me a picture; or I may stop by to take one to share with all of our SRJP clients.
Just a little secret... I usually know that you are expecting before most of your friends and family do. Maternity and newborn sessions do book several months in advance. You are welcome to schedule your session as early as 12 weeks. This allows for your maternity & newborn dates to be reserved, along with your hair and makeup appointments. Maternity sessions typically take place between 30-36 weeks.
Don't forget to ask about the Newborn Baby Registry. Gift certificates are a popular registry item as well as a baby shower gift. Join in with a family member, a group of friends, or even your office team to give the best gift of all.
Need a little help with your registry?
I made a little post for you!

After your session, Shannon hand edits each image in your gallery. The booking fee does not include any digital images or artwork.

Right now I'm happy to meet with you virtually as well ;).
Most clients choose their favorite images from both sessions at one ordering appointment, 2-3 weeks after the newborn session. Baby favorites are the keepsake album including images from both sessions as well as wall art and grandparent gifts. I will be here to help create, capture, & design your portraits every step of the way. I can't wait to work with you and your family.
