What to Expect from an In-Home Maternity Photo Shoot

Maternity photography is a beautiful and special experience that I believe every mom-to-be should be able to have. But as a mom myself, I also know that the idea of getting yourself together and heading to a photo studio or a park for a photo shoot can sound exhausting when you’re creating a little human within you. That’s one of the many reasons why some of my clients choose an in-home maternity photo shoot. Thinking about this option for yourself? Here’s a peek into the process and what you can expect.

First, We Gab!

It’s important to me that I create custom maternity portraits for you that are truly one of a kind, and the first step in that is a pre-session consultation. During this consultation, we’ll chat about your vision for your maternity portraits and the looks you’re aiming for (as well as what will look best in your nursery or wherever you want to display your portraits) and make a plan for your session.

The Glam Comes to You

On the day of your photo shoot, my professional hair and makeup artist will come to your home and use their expertise to help you look your best for your portraits. You get the benefit of professional services and the ultimate photo shoot look (customized to your style, of course) without having to leave your home.

You Don’t Miss Out on a Thing

When it’s time for your maternity photos, just sit back and relax because I’ll take it from here! I’ll bring everything we need including my photography equipment and maternity gowns from my gorgeous client closet.

It’s important for me to emphasize that when you book an in-home maternity photoshoot with me, you still get everything you would get in an outdoor photo shoot or a studio session. You get professional hair and makeup services, you get to use my client closet of gowns and accessories, and you get the same amount of session time and my full attention and expertise. The only difference is that you get all of this in the comfort of your own home. 

Booking Your Dream Maternity Photo Shoot

There are so many reasons why some of my clients prefer to have their maternity photo shoot in their homes. Maybe you want the comfort and convenience of your home or you prefer to stay at home for medical reasons. Maybe you want your maternity portraits to be set in the home where you’re experiencing this beautiful pregnancy journey and where your baby will grow up, or you just love the aesthetics of your home. In any case, I can’t wait to create the maternity photo shoot of your dreams! Contact Jaimié Birtel Photography and let’s start dreaming together.
