Signature, Classic, or Petite: Which Maternity Portrait Experience Is Right for You?

session tips

Pregnancy is one of the most transformative seasons of life. Whether this is your first baby or your last, maternity portraits allow you to pause and celebrate the beauty, strength, and anticipation of motherhood.

One of the most common questions I receive is:

“Which maternity session should I choose?”

The answer depends on the experience you’re looking for, how much variety you’d like in your portraits, and how you envision preserving these memories.

Let’s explore the differences between the Signature, Classic, and Petite Maternity Experiences so you can choose the one that’s perfect for your family.

The Signature Maternity Experience

For the Mom Who Wants the Ultimate Luxury Experience

The Signature Experience is designed for mothers who want to fully celebrate this season and create a complete collection of artwork from their pregnancy.

This four-hour experience begins with professional hair and makeup, allowing you to relax while being pampered before stepping in front of the camera. Before your session, we’ll meet virtually for a styling consultation to plan every detail for you and your family.

You’ll enjoy full access to the studio wardrobe and select up to four styled looks. This session also includes custom-designed setups that may feature luxurious fabrics, floral installations, fine art-inspired scenes, and editorial lighting.

Throughout the session, we’ll create a variety of portraits featuring you alone, with your partner, and with your children.

One of the most meaningful additions to the Signature Experience is a cinematic highlight film that captures the movement, emotion, and connection of your session.

Your memories are preserved not only digitally but also in the luxurious 10×10 Art Book, allowing you to enjoy your portraits for generations to come.
