If you don't have any pretty dresses, that is ok. I send out prep emails that give you store options to find some but more importantly I have a client closet that has a few luxury pieces in it from S-4XL for you to choose from. If you do a dress for your shoot PLEASE keep all tags on all items because if we don't use them and you want to return them, you can. During your outfit consult we will also discuss coordination for partners and children if they're in the photoshoot too.
Every photographer is going to be different. We all offer different products, displays, etc. Working with Hicks Pics Photo you will have a $250 session fee and the minimum investment starts at $850 and goes up from there. I have a couple clients who spend $850, most spend more than that and quite a few spend a couple thousand. The average spending of my clients is $1800.
Maternity photos are an amazing way to document this special journey no matter what stage you're in. From the early days of being newly pregnant to the changes that come with each trimester - like a growing bump and ever-evolving body - maternity photos capture it all in a way that you'll cherish forever. They're an incredible reminder of just how beautiful, strong, and capable our bodies are during this time of transformation. Even if you don't think you have the model looks for taking maternity photos, trust us when we say there really isn't anything more beautiful than a mom-to-be! So don't be afraid to take the leap and document your pregnancy through photography. You won't regret it!
No I do not but I have wonderful recommendations I can give you and trust you will be in good hands!
When you book with us, your session fee covers professional hair and makeup, outfit consultation, 1 hour shoot, and a 1 hour ordering appointment. No products (albums, wall art, digitals, etc are included). Maternity session fee is $250 with Hicks Pics Photo.
The perfect timeframe to do maternity photos is weeks 30-36. Some women will do them a little earlier if they have a pregnancy with multiples or health concerns. You can do your shoot up to 38-39 weeks but you run the risk of having the baby before the photos are done. So good rule of thumb is 30-36 weeks!
Most of what you see on social media is not a true reality! Most of my clients are everyday women just like you who don't know how to pose, don't know what faces to make, etc. I provide full posing instruction for each client. I will show most, if not all, poses first. So, there is nothing to worry about!
How do these insta-moms know how to pose with their bumps?
when should I book my maternity shoot?
