Maternity Photographer Orange - FAQs on your Maternity Session

When is the best time to have my maternity session?

Maternity sessions work best when you have a nice, round belly – and whilst you are still comfortable to be able to pose and move. In general, between 32-34 weeks is when most mum’s have their session. Having said that I’ve done sessions from 28- 39 weeks! 🙂 It also depends which of my gorgeous dresses you would like to wear!!! 🙂 I usually ask mums to send me a photo of their belly to work out the best time. If you can, try to book at around 30-34 week mark.

If you are further along thats OK! Don’t panic! I still have poses you can do although I may not let you twist as much…

What do I wear?

I have over 40 gorgeous dresses for use in maternity sessions. There are gowns for all mummas-to-be. My client wardrobe also includes bodysuits, silks, fabrics, jewellery including crowns and more. Would you like to see them??? Link to available dresses is here. Have a look and see what ones you would like to wear. All of my dresses are high-end, beautifully made and designed to enhance that glow that you have as an expecting mum! And I have a few more coming! If your partner is coming in the session I will help you work out something for him to wear. In general tidy pants or jeans and a plain shirt – It will depend on what dresses you are wearing but usually a nice blue, maroon, or grey works well. Sometimes white or black can be nice too. We can discuss that when you choose the dresses. If you have a son coming into the photoshoot the same applies. I do have beautiful dresses available for girls from size 000 to 12.

Here are just a few of the popular gowns I have available for your session….

What if I’m a bit nervous about booking a session?

Please don’t be! I love to make sessions a lot of fun and its my job to help you pose and look amazing! 🙂 I first started my love of photography in the 1990s with my manual Ricoh camera! I now use a Nikon and portrait lenses. My first maternity client was over 10 years ago and I really love doing those sessions. I want you to have beautiful photos to remember this time and ones to pass on to generations! It is the best time to be photographed as a woman. All mums are glowing in anticipation of meeting their newest family member and I have never had a mum not super happy about her photos.

Where will the shoot take place?

I bring my mobile studio to your place – light, backdrops, dresses and all! You will be able to get dressed in the comfort and privacy of your own home. I usually work out where we will shoot when I get there – in general the dining or lounge room works the best 🙂

All of my indoor sessions are done at client homes.

Can I see more of your work? You sure can. Please visit my website to look at my recent work - www.kyliewinderphotography.com or you can find me on facebook or instagram.

What training/experience do you have?

I have been photographing maternity images for over 10 years, and in that time I have done a lot of in person workshops – In the last 12 months alone I have updated my lighting and posing skills with Stèphanie Lemmens maternity workshop (Belgium photographer), Carol-Ann Neil Photographer (Scotland) and online with Natasha Ince (UK) all of which have really helped me to be able to create gorgeous, fine art maternity images – worthy of enlarging and putting on your wall! I keep my skills up to date.

How do I decide on a photographer?

Photography is an Artform. I really recommend you choose a photographer whose style you love – as we all have different styles and ways of shooting as we each do what we love and that shows in how we create our images. Personally I love to create Fine Art images and make mum feel like a Diva/goddess/supermum. All of my clients love their sessions and I’ve really enjoyed doing their sessions. They all go home feeling like they had an amazing session and thats some thing I love to do.

My amazing client wardrobe is second to none out in the Central west, and there aren't many photographers with such an extensive boutique wardrobe. I do have a bit of an obsession with having gorgeous dresses to enhance my mums!

I'd love to chat about a session for you or to answer any questions! You can chat on my website whenever I"m online or it will send me a message to get back to you. :)
