Maternity SessionThe outfit… Yes! We provide outfits and hairpieces, props… you can aslo bring your own. Most of the outfits are showing on our maternity gallery, we may have some new arrivals which you can choose on-site. It’s the best you can bring your own bandeau top and underpants on those colors (black, white, nude) to match with the outfits. The bandeau top or strapless bra is ideal because they match with the off-shoulder dresses much better. If you want to ask about make up, we can reccomend a few make up artist that work with us several times Prepare outfits for your family Your partner is welcomed to join the photoshoot! Please prepare at least one dark color and one light color outfit. Ideally, there is no logo on the outfit. Just remember less is more, simplicity always turns out to be classic. For kids, we recommend dressing them at home first to match with other family members. Something you can bring We want this session to be special for you. If you can bring a few things meaningful, we will include them in the photo creations. Here is a list that may give you some ideas. – Wedding rings – Things that you prepared for your unborn baby, such as a pair of tiny shoes… – Special items to the family and the baby The guide time – Mini Maternity Session: 0.4- 1 hours – Full Maternity: 1.5 -2 hours

Newborn SessionPreparation for the newborn There are 4 important things that you need to bring. – Extra milk (If breastfeeding, it’s best to bring some bottled milk) – Extra nappies (It may need to be changed on every setting) – Dummy/Pacifier (We only use the dummy during the poses transition, it is very helpful to bring it to the photoshoot even you don’t usually use it ) – Changing clothes Preparation for Parents and Siblings It is important to match the outfit color for all your family members who are participating in the photoshoot. (The color doesn’t have to be exactly the same, but similar.) Ideally, there is no logo on the outfits. Just remember less is more, simplicity always turns out to be classic. For the best result, we suggest Mummy doing some hair and makeup before coming (otherwise ask if our make up artist is availabe the day of your session, for an extra cost) For the siblings, please dress them up at home to match with other family members. The guide time – Newborn session could last from 1.5 to 3 hours. Most likely will be arround 2 hours
