FAQ
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT?
I always tell people to wear something that feels like them and something they feel comfortable in. I do provide a client wardrobe if you would like to get dressed up, but if a dress doesn’t feel like you, I can recommend so many other beautiful options.

Prints with Box – From $149
Linen albums – start at $499

ALBUMS
One of the best ways to preserve your family photos is with an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colours. Albums are modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on coffee tables.
All albums must be prepaid before design begins. Albums typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete and include two rounds of revision.
