The Maternity Experience

From the moment we first chat to the moment you print your photos, I want your experience to be effortless, fun, and meaningful. When you first contact me, you will receive a response in a timely manner from ME. That’s right. I review and write all my emails personally to get to know you as best as possible.

Your investment should be enjoyable from start to finish, which is why I will help answer any questions, keep you informed on the process, and make your day as magical and relaxed as possible. My goal for your shoot is to showcase you and that amazing belly of yours!

When you book your maternity session with me, you’ll get the queen treatment you deserve. I provide the following for my maternity mamas: two outfit changes (open belly photos are great for maternity shoots), good communication, prompt emails, a fun session experience, amazing Tahoe locations, styling advice, a complimentary client closet, professional prints and products for purchase, an easy booking process, and I play music at my sessions! Your choice!

This all is basically scratching the surface of what my service will provide. When you pay for our shoot, you’re not just paying for the cost of an hour. Instead, you’re getting the time leading up and the time afterward too, as well as everything in the middle. I LOVE my clients, and my maternity mamas deserve the best experience possible!

“SO grateful we found Christina! I was hesitant to do maternity photos, as I have had such a hard time accepting my rapidly changing/growing body. We decided to get them done as a family, and Christina made me feel like a whole goddess. I am obsessed with the photos we got! We had a shy 6-year-old who Christina helped come out of her shell right away with her bubbly attitude and kindness. Myself and my partner have never had professional photos done together but didn’t even feel awkward in the slightest. SO happy to have Christina in the area. Can’t wait to work with her again in the future!”

The Maternity Process

I. SAY HELLO

First, don’t be shy. Send me an email through my contact page! Tell me all about your pregnancy and what your dream session entails. From there, we will chat about package options and all the amazing amenities I offer my clients, such as a complimentary client closet and breathtaking locations that fit your vision.

II. GET ON MY CALENDAR

Now that you are ready to make some amazing memories with your family, I need you on my calendar! I will send you a contract along with a $250 retainer to complete the booking process. Once your documents are complete, I will also send you an email that contains photos of my client closet, my Amazon favorites, and a questionnaire to get to know your maternity photoshoot vision!

III. LET’S CHAT

I love speaking to my clients over the phone because I enjoy connecting with them as much as possible! If you aren’t a phone person, that’s not a problem. Emails are totally fine! But if you want to schedule a call, I will get you scheduled as soon as possible! During our calls, we will discuss your pregnancy, styling, locations, and what to expect during and after your session.

IV. BEFORE + DURING YOUR SESSION

Roughly a week before your scheduled photoshoot, I will be in touch to discuss any last-minute logistics. During your session, we will have a good ole’ time. I always strive to document more organic maternity moments than traditional portraits, so that’s something to get excited about!

V. GALLERY DELIVERY

Within 2-4 weeks from your session date, I will deliver your gallery! From there, you can select a package that fits you best!

VI. PRINT YOUR IMAGERY

I’m excited to offer a variety of prints and products through Pic-Time—the platform where you will receive your completed gallery. You can easily purchase your favorite images as prints or select from a range of beautiful products, such as canvases, albums, and more. Please note: Where you print your family imagery DOES matter! Please don’t take your maternity imagery to a drug store.

The Investment Details

Maternity photoshoots include an hour-long session at a beautiful location of your choice. I have an extensive client closet for my maternity mams, and I offer in-depth styling recommendations for your entire family!

Collections Starting at $600

Kind Words

“I recently moved out of state and wanted to have maternity photos taken (even more so since this is my last baby) but didn’t know where to begin since I was new to the area. I found Christina online and was excited that I was able to get something booked with her. Upon meeting, I had been in and out of the hospital, so my responses were often delayed when talking with Christina, but she was very patient and understanding. During the photoshoot, she made everything so easy and comfortable. She gave great direction on what to do and how to pose all while making us all feel confident in ourselves. I really look forward to Christina capturing photos of us again soon once our baby boy arrives!”

“Christina just delivered my gallery, and I am in love. She shot my first motherhood session for myself and my two kids. This is something I had been meaning to do for years but kept putting off. I'm so glad I ended up finding Christina. She managed to get amazing photos of my son, despite him having an allergy attack and kept the kids occupied so that they didn't get bored. She is such a genuine person and truly wants you to love your photos. You can tell that she works really hard on coordinating the session before through styling, during the shoot with her prompts, and after with her creative editing. I will cherish the photos for eternity and can't wait to schedule our next session with Christina.”
