Because This Season Deserves More Than Just Pretty Pictures
Not all maternity sessions are created equal — and asking the right questions before you book can make all the difference in how you feel during the experience and in how you remember this fleeting chapter.
As a Flower Mound maternity photographer who works with intentional families across North Texas, I believe in creating sessions that feel like you. Here are some of the most important questions to ask (and answer!) before booking your session.
1. What Stage of Pregnancy Will I Be In?
Timing is everything for maternity photography. Most expecting mamas book their session between 28–34 weeks — far enough along to show that beautiful bump, but early enough to avoid the discomfort of the final stretch.
Ask:
- When is the ideal time to schedule based on my due date?
- What if I’m carrying twins or experiencing a high-risk pregnancy?
2. Where Will the Session Take Place?
Do you envision wide-open fields at golden hour, a cozy in-home session, or something editorial in a studio setting? The location plays a huge role in the final look and feel of your images.
As a Flower Mound maternity photographer, I offer curated location options throughout the DFW area — whether you want something natural, nostalgic, or elevated.
Ask:
- Do you help with location planning?
- What kinds of places photograph best in this season?
3. Who Will Be Included in the Shoot?
Maternity sessions can be as intimate or inclusive as you like. Some clients want the focus entirely on mama; others love involving partners, siblings, or even pets.
Ask:
- Can my spouse or older child join part of the session?
- How do you keep things relaxed and connected with kids involved?
4. What Should I Wear—and Will I Feel Comfortable?
What you wear should make you feel beautiful and at ease. Some photographers offer wardrobe access or styling guidance, while others leave it fully up to you.
At Kayla Mari Photography, I offer curated wardrobe support and styling tips tailored to your vision. Think flowing dresses, soft textures, and timeless silhouettes.
Ask:
- Do you offer wardrobe options or styling guidance?
- Can I bring multiple looks?
- Do you help with sizing and fit for a growing bump?
5. What Look or Vibe Are You Going For?
Are you dreaming of something soft and romantic? Bold and editorial? Natural and raw? Knowing the tone you want helps you choose a photographer whose style matches your vision.
Ask:
- How would you describe your style?
- Can I share inspiration or a mood board?
- Do you edit your photos in a light, clean, or film-inspired style?
