Maternity portraits work best when you feel relaxed, not rushed. Most people book between weeks 28 and 34, when the bump is clear and movement is still comfortable.
For Bay Area light, golden hour along the coast or soft open shade in a quiet park usually photographs well. Bring one outfit you already love, plus a simple backup layer in a solid color.
We keep direction gentle: walk, hold hands, lean into each other. The goal is a small set of frames that feel like you — not a stiff checklist of poses.
If you have mobility needs, twin pregnancies, or want a studio setup, tell us when you inquire so we can shape the session around that from the start.
