When is the best week for maternity photos?

Typically weeks 28–34 so you have a defined bump and still feel comfortable.

What if it’s windy or chilly on the lake?

We use sheltered spots, bring a light layer, and pose you in wind-friendly angles—wind can add gorgeous movement to dresses and hair.

Can we bring our dog to Burlington Waterfront?

Yes—leash required. I’ll plan a few frames that safely include your pup.

What should we bring?

Water, comfortable walking shoes, a neutral blanket, and any small keepsakes like ultrasound prints or baby shoes.

What happens if it rains?

We reschedule to the next available date, or use covered nearby locations with quick lakefront breaks when the drizzle pauses.

What a maternity session with me looks like

Candid first, lightly guided

I’ll give simple prompts that flatter without stiff posing—think walking, swaying, hand placement, and natural connection.

True-to-color editing

Skin tones stay warm and natural; Burlington greens and lake blues remain clean and timeless in print.

Stress-free experience

Flexible pacing, warm layers/blankets on cooler days, and built-in breaks when needed. Partners, siblings, and pets are welcome.

When to schedule & what to wear

Timing: Most clients book for 28–34 weeks (or earlier with twins/high-risk).

Wardrobe: Start with neutrals/earth tones; add one accent color. Flowy dresses, knits, and textures photograph beautifully.

Bring: A second outfit or layer, water/snacks, comfortable shoes (we can swap at the photo spot).
