FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Yes, absolutely! I encourage the whole family to be involved. I have a blog post titled Why You Should Include Your Partner and Kids in Your Maternity Photos for my reasons why. Of course, if you want it to be a solo shoot, that’s totally fine! This is YOUR session, so just tell me what you prefer!
-
I generally recommend that maternity sessions take place between 28-36 weeks, but this could be different depending on your individual circumstances.
-
No way! I know any phase of life with kids is messy, and I do not expect a clean home! I typically only need a room or two with the best light. Don’t worry about the dishes or piles of laundry - trust me, I have those in my own home and I won’t even notice that they’re there!
-
No, there is no need to rush. You can take the time to settle in with your new baby. I will typically come to you when baby is 1-4 weeks old. We will decide on a date together once you’ve given birth.
-
You will not be rushed, I promise. If you need some time to feed or change your baby, you’ve got it. They can be in the comfort of your arms the entire time if they want to.

Our family maternity shoot with June Sunrise Photography was SO much fun! Sarah was kind and patient (so thankful for how she worked with my littles). She made poses feel fun and natural, and she captured some of our most favorite pictures ever! She truly highlighted the personality of each of my babies and our family! I am forever grateful for the pics of this season as we await baby 4 and already can’t wait for another family session!
