Winter Maternity Shoot | Squires Castle | Cleveland, Ohio | Best Photographer

When is the best time to take Maternity Photos?

I recommend anytime from week 28-36. I want you to have a nice little bump but also not uncomfortable for the shoot.

Where do they take place?

I offer both outdoor and indoor studio shoots for maternity. The outdoor shoots seem to be more popular even during the winter time! I love going to squires castle after a fresh blanket of snow. I also recommend the moms to bring blankets and cover up in between shoots.

What happens during the shoot?

I understand it can be awkward and unsure of how to pose. No worries! I will guide you every step of the way with the posing for the shoot. Please check out some of my most recent sessions here:

How long do they last? I offer both a mini 30 minute and full 1 hour shoot. With the mini session you also receive 15 images. The full 1 hour shoot you’ll receive close to 40 images. All of my pricing includes the session fee and digital images. No extra hidden costs.

How much does to cost?

What should you wear?

I recommend wearing clothing that you would feel comfortable. I do offer a few maternity dresses that you are welcome to borrow. Long flowing dresses look amazing in the shoots.

I am asked many times when is the best time for Maternity photos? A maternity photo session is the perfect way to document the beautiful change your body is undergoing. I recommend photos to be taken anytime from week 32 to week 36 depending on how your feeling. You want a beautiful baby bump for the photos, but also not too large you feel uncomfortable. That’s why I recommend that time frame as the sweet spot for photos.

I offer both a full 1 hour and mini 30 minute maternity session. These photos can be taken outdoors or inside depending on the vibe you want in the photos. Many people choose outdoors all year long. I especially love squires castle for photos.

It was a brisk but beautiful day for maternity photos that took place in early march. This sweet couple traveled all the way up to Ohio from Georgia to visit family. I was so honored they chose me for their maternity shoot while back in town. This also took place right before the country was bracing itself for covid 19. I was so happy we could finish the session and they traveled safely back to home prior to the country staying safe at home.

If you are expecting this summer, please ask about my bump to baby package which has become a favorite with many families. Its a great way to get maternity, newborn and first birthday photos at a discounted price.

My calendar is filling for the summer, please reach out for all of my package options.

The Cleveland Botanical Gardens serves as a beautiful backdrop for maternity photos. My recent maternity session in May took place at the gardens. Even thought the flowers were not in full bloom yet, the grounds were still very breathtaking. Not to mention the indoor rain forest was fun place to for our shoot together.

Not only do I offer Maternity Photography Packages, but also a bump to baby package. Please contact me for more information.

Soon a sweet little baby will make a family of 3. One of my most popular packages that I offer families is my bump to baby package. This is such a new, fun and exciting time in a person’s life. It really should be documented the best it can. My bump to baby package is there to photograph your growing belly with a Maternity session, Newborn Session and finally a milestone session with the baby. This package can be purchased and booked with tentative dates, depending on when the baby is born. It is best to have your maternity photos taken in the 3rd trimester but not close to your due date. Moms usually feel their best during the beginning or middle of the 3rd trimester and you now have a belly to show off!

After the maternity session, I recommend the Newborn photos taken during days 4-15 of life. They are usually a quick 1 hour session taken in my studio. Finally the milestone session can be done anytime during the baby’s first year. Or you can have their first birthday smash cake session done.

I greatly enjoyed my time with the Sabol family and we documented their maternity session. Mom is feeling great and we are all anticipating the arrival of her baby girl. I will be photographing her Newborn pictures as well.
