No matter where you're at in life, whether you're expecting your first child or your last, you deserve to have your maternity captured in a way that celebrates this incredible season. 

I want you to feel beautiful, confident, and celebrated as you await your new baby. Together, we’ll create timeless images that reflect the glow of anticipation and the deep love you already feel for your little one.

So let's pick out a date, and we'll create a bunch of moments that will fill up the frames on your walls for years to come.

Maternity

It's best to reach out during your 1st trimester to schedule your maternity session. The session will take place during the 3rd trimester.
If this is your first child, it's likely you may not start really showing until this time.

Email me at katie@katielouisephotography.com or use the contact form through the website to let me know your due date so we can decide on the best month for maternity pictures. I always respond within 24-48 hours. Remember to check your spam if you don't receive a response by then. And please make sure to go over pricing before emailing.

After booking, I will send you the client closet guide that you will have access to. All pieces are available for studio sessions, and a select few are available for outdoor sessions. Most moms also opt to bring jeans and a white button down with sports bra. This ends up being such a cute look and a favorite among clients!

The first thing you'll want to decide is on location. I can send location suggestions and gallery samples if you are not sure whether you would prefer and indoor or outdoor session. Something to keep in mind is that all outdoor sessions take place 1-2 hours before sunset. 

Your partner and any other children you have are welcome to join. Pets are welcome at most outdoor locations. And trained dogs are allowed at the studio on Wednesdays and Sundays.

I will also send a prep guide that includes the studio address and parking/entering directions, as well as some helpful tips for preparing for your session. I do not offer hair and makeup services at the studio, but I would be happy to send over some recommendations to help.

The remainder of your sitting fee it due on or before this day.

We'll meet at the agreed upon location. If you are running late, I just ask for a quick call/text.
 I know it's hard to get out the door, especially if you have little ones already.

If you will be more than 30 minutes late, we will either need to reschedule for an additional fee
or we can continue with session in the time that is left.

Get ready to have fun! Pictures shouldn't be a chore, and I try to make the session super easy while being efficient so we don't wear out the littles.
I also try to go with the flow. If your little just isn't feeling it, we'll concentrate on candids, and then focus on mom for the rest of the session. Sometimes it helps to bring a grandparent or relative along who can watch the other kids during this time. We'll get cute pictures no matter what!

Watermarked roofs are delivered through an online gallery 1-2 days after your session.
You'll create a favorites list based off which collection you decide to go with, and you'll have one week to choose and pay for a collection.
After this time the gallery will expire and you will owe $25 for each additional week you require.

There are multiple collections that offer digital images alone or include products like fine art albums. You'll be given the pricing guide for your particular session when you book so you have ample time to think about what you would like, but make sure to check the minimums in the pricing section below. No final decision needs to be made until after you have viewed your gallery.

Once you make your final choice and pay for your collection, you'll be added to the editing queue and you'll receive your gallery within 10-14 business days. For extensive editing or orders with more than 30 images, an additional 2 weeks is usually needed.


Even digital collections come with complimentary prints. 
There's a huge difference between looking at pictures on your phone and holding them in your hands.
I want all my clients to walk away with something physical.

Each gallery gives you access to an online store where you can order additional prints, but many collections also include products like my favorite- the fine art album. Sometimes it's hard to know what you might like or how big you'll need something to be. I always offer a free meeting where I can help you with this, so you're not figuring it out alone!

If your session takes place at the studio, you'll be able to look through all the sample products during or after the session!
