On Location Maternity Portrait Session Info

When to schedule your maternity session:

For the perfect maternity session, we recommend scheduling during your seventh month. We take the greatest care to ensure your comfort and to create pictures that share your inner glow.

What will my maternity portrait session be like?

Fun, relaxed and not rushed! Tanya has a very laid back style and tries to make each session unique. Her goal isn't to take the perfect picture, but rather capture those connections and personalities perfectly. Your family session will last between 1-2 hours and can take place at a favorite your location. Not sure where to have your session? No worries, Tanya will make suggestions based on the mood you want to portray in your photographic art.

I have no idea what to wear!?!

Once you have finalized your booking, Tanya will send you a "What to Wear Guide" which will help you with your wardrobe choices. Feel free to call if you have additional questions on what to wear.

What else can I do to prepare for the session?

Please be sure that you book your session at a good time for your children and not during his or her usual naptime. It's best to book it first thing in the morning, or shortly after their nap. Be sure to bring along snacks and drinks as we'll be sure to take a break to keep them happy. Do they have a favorite toy or blanket? Bring it along, and Tanya will be sure to incorporate it into the session.

Do you travel the DC metro area for your maternity portrait sessions?

Absolutely! I am located in Lorton, Virginia, but will drive throughout the Northern Virginia, Fairfax County, Prince William County and DC Metro area for your pregnancy portrait session. Your session fee covers travel within 45 miles of the 22079 zip code. Travel outside the area is $1 mile.

Do you offer in-person ordering consultations?

I Sure do ! Our clients actually prefer the in-person consultations, which happen approximately 2 weeks after your session. Tanya helps you narrow down your selections, makes recommendations for wall art and allows you to see our unique line of boutique albums and products. If you do choose to have an in-person ordering consultation, your order payment is due at that time. Once payment is made, Tanya will begin to create your portrait art.

After Your Maternity Session:

How soon can I see my images?

Tanya always tries to post a sneak peak to the blog within a few days of the session. This typically includes 2-3 of her favorite images. In approximately 2 weeks your entire order session gallery will be available for viewing, as well as a custom slideshow set to music. Tanya recommends sharing your slideshow with all your friends and family! Your online ordering gallery will be available for 7 days and your order will be placed within that time frame.

How long before I receive my prints, digital files, album, etc?

Your portraits will be ready in about 3 weeks from when you've placed your order. If you need it sooner, please communicate that and we'll do our best to complete things quickly. A rush order fee may apply. Please allow 4-5 weeks for Album orders.
