WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT MY MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION?

Maternity photo sessions with Babies By Jackie are calm and relaxed at all times. We encourage mums-to-be to embrace the beauty of their bumps and enjoy showing them off.

At your Consultation Appointment, Jackie will work with you to identify the style of images you prefer and you can look through our client closet of carefully curated gowns selected to feel comfortable and flatter your curves.

Jackie will gently guide you through the Portrait Session, directing you through a variety of poses to create beautiful portraits that show the connection between you and your baby.

WHERE DOES THE BUMP PHOTO SHOOT TAKE PLACE?

Maternity sessions last around one hour and take place in the comfort of our custom-built studio in Hemingbrough village near Howden.

Visits to the studio are by appointment only so there's no chance of you being disturbed during the shoot.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Maternity gowns for the photoshoot are provided so you don't need to buy anything for the shoot. The maternity gowns are very flattering. They are made with lace and chiffon and are semi-transparent so we suggest wearing your good undies.

It's a great excuse to treat yourself to a manicure before the session, as your hands will feature in many of the photos.

If you are feeling brave we can also include some beautiful 'nude' images (you can leave your undies on, but we will position your body and use some clever editing so you appear nude), but this is entirely up to you.

For partners keeping things simple works best - a plain white or black t-shirt with jeans, or naked waist-up.

CAN I HAVE SOME PHOTOS WITH MY PARTNER/CHILDREN?

Of course! After all they are also a huge part of your pregnancy.

FOLLOWING YOUR SESSION

Jackie will select the best images from your photo session and professionally re-touch them ready for you to view at your ordering appointment. Your ordering appointment will take place at the same time as the ordering appointment for your newborn session.

Here you will be able to select your favourite images and choose how you want to display them from our range of beautiful, hand-crafted wall art pieces, prints and albums, all from the world's best suppliers.

WHEN SHOULD MY MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION TAKE PLACE?

Ideally your maternity session will be scheduled around 30-34 weeks into your pregnancy, when your belly is lovely and rounded but you are not feeling too uncomfortable to enjoy your bump photo session.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION?

Your maternity photo session will be booked at your consultation appointment at the same time as your newborn photo session.
