"We had the best experience taking our maternity photos with Vanessa! She put us instantly at ease and it was such a special, meaningful experience for us. The pictures were beautiful and her turnaround was so quick even though I know she's still very busy with wedding season! We can't wait to work with Vanessa more as our family grows!"

FAqs
A: The best time for a maternity session is between 28 and 34 weeks when the belly is beautifully round and movement is still comfortable. Expecting moms typically have more energy in this window, and it’s early enough to avoid last-minute surprises. For stunning photos, aim for golden hour light and consider the season to add a dreamy, natural touch.
A: Wear clothes that feel good and match the vibe of the location—think soft and flowy for nature, sleek and clean for city or studio. Skip logos and busy patterns, and don’t worry—I’ll send you a style guide to help you choose.
Q: when will i recieve my images?
A: You’ll get your final edited images within 2–3 weeks after the session, depending on the editing time needed. I’ll keep you in the loop, and once they’re ready, I’ll send a download link straight to your inbox.
