Planning Your Session
Great question! Here is an overview of the entire process and what you can expect from working with me:
- Pre-Booking: You begin by learning about my services and picking the best one for your needs. I am a big believer in transparency and helpfulness. That’s why I explain my services in great detail on my website. I display my prices, add-ons, deliverables, and timeframes online so you know them beforehand, and there are no surprises. I have published thousands of photos in my portfolio and blog sections so that you can get a good feel for my style. And if you still have any questions before booking, I’m only a quick message away.
- Booking: I’ve designed my scheduling process to be fast and hassle-free, ensuring your ease. You start by heading to my booking page and selecting your desired session. Next, you will pick the date and time from my calendar, fill out a short form, and pay your $100 deposit.
- Session Prep: After I receive your booking, I will review it and send you a detailed prep guide within 1-2 business days. It will also include access to an online styling service. If you have booked the Deluxe session, you will get an email with location options for your session. I am also available to answer any questions via email or text.
- A Few Days Before the Session: I will monitor the weather a day or so before your session. If we need to reschedule due to rain, I will communicate all the details. I will also email you specific location information and coordinates. Finally, you will receive an invoice for the remaining balance of your session.
- The Day of the Session: We meet at the designated location and have an easy and relaxed session. I will guide and queue you so you always know what to do.
- After the Session: You will receive your proof gallery within four days after your session to pick the photos that you want for hand-edit. After you see your proof gallery, you may decide on any upgrades. Please reply with your picks within seven days of receiving your gallery. After I receive your picks, I will deliver the final edited photos within seven days.
- Beyond the Session: I am grateful and honored that you’ve picked me to help document and celebrate your maternity. My mission is to help you create a collection of meaningful family photos through the years. I hope you will find my online resources and updates useful. You will also get priority access to all of my seasonal offerings.
The ideal time for your maternity shoot is when you are between 28 and 32 weeks pregnant, but I am happy to work around your schedule.
I recommend booking at least a month in advance to ensure availability and give you time to prepare.
You’ll start by picking the date for your maternity session from my calendar. When scheduling, I will also ask you for your due date, and I will pencil you in for that date, ensuring you have a spot. Then, we will pick an actual shoot date once your baby is born (typically five days to three weeks after birth).
You can learn more about the Maternity + Newborn package here.
If it rains, I am very flexible and will work with you to reschedule your session. If we cannot find a date that works for you, I will refund your deposit. (You can also choose to convert your deposit into credit toward future sessions.)
If you have a flexible schedule, we can wait until the morning of your session to decide whether to proceed or reschedule. The weather forecast can be unreliable, so if your family is willing, we can still show up to the session. If we get rained out, we reschedule, and you will not lose your deposit. With this approach, I can shoot most of the time.
Also, don’t worry about cloudy weather. It adds a unique and moody feel to your photos, perfect for capturing tender moments with your family.
Yes, I offer outdoor sessions during winter. Here are the 2024–2025 options for winter maternity sessions.
The Deluxe Sessions take place at several beautiful locations around the greater Seattle area that I have carefully selected based on the season, looks, and convenience. Most of them require 30–60 minutes of driving, but they are all very convenient. After you book, I will provide you with options to choose from, including sample photos.
You can also view highlights of my locations in my Maternity Portfolio or explore them in depth in my Maternity Photoshoot Location Guide.
Although a sunny day is never guaranteed in Seattle, booking the outdoor Maternity Deluxe session gives you the best chance for golden hour. Aslo, when picking the location for your session, beaches and grass fields are best for the golden light.
At this time, I do not offer a client wardrobe. However, once you book your session, I will send you a prep guide with recommendations on where you can rent or purchase high-quality gowns.
Sure, as long as you don’t mind changing in nature.
An outfit change is typically requested by moms who want a few fancy shots in a maternity gown that are a bit more “posed” and the rest of the shots in more casual clothes with natural guided posing.
If you want to accomplish this, I’d recommend booking the Deluxe Session. If you’re booking a Mini-Session, there will not be enough time for an outfit change.
Every photographer has a unique style, feel, and aesthetic in their photos. So, before booking a session with me, I want to make sure that you resonate with my work so that I can meet your expectations and deliver photos that you’ll love. That’s why I’ve put together a diverse Maternity Portfolio section so you can get a feel of my style in different locations and seasons.
After you book your session, I will email you detailed prep information, including the outfit inspiration guide and online styling service, to help you look your best for the session.
You can also email or text me with any styling questions.
I will guide, prompt, and direct your family the entire time, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. I aim for natural-looking poses while also capturing candids along the way.
Here’s how one of my clients, Yuliana, describes her experience: “We chose Lana for our maternity outdoor mini session and newborn studio deluxe session. We had a great experience both times! Lana is great at giving directions for poses and makes you feel comfortable the whole session. During our newborn shoot, she was patient while we had to feed and change our baby. Lana really is the baby whisperer and swaddler. We got some adorable wrap photos and family photos.”
If your kiddo is not cooperating – don’t worry (because they will feel that). I will follow their lead and do my best to capture happy moments.
There will never be any pressure to look into the camera to smile. I have plenty of tricks to help get your kiddos engaged and interested, so 99% of the time, I can get you plenty of shots. (And for that 1% – we will work together to do our best.)
Of course! Pets are so fun to include in the photos. When booking, please let me know if pets will be joining and what kind of pets.
After we do a few shots with the pet during the session, you’ll need to prepare in advance how to keep the pet safe while we work on the photos without the pet.
A Mini-Session includes 10 hand-edited images (that you pick from a gallery of 40–60 photos), while a Deluxe Session includes 20 (that you pick from a gallery of 80–100 photos).
After you see your proof gallery, you can purchase additional hand-edited photos for $20 each. Information on purchasing additional images will be included with your online proof gallery.
In addition, a full-gallery upgrade is available for $200. It includes all the images in your proof gallery with a standard color edit (as they appear in your proof gallery, no hand-edit). Photos will be in full print resolution with print rights.
(See the next question for more information about the difference between hand editing and color editing.)
You will receive your online proof gallery within four days after your session. You will have seven days to pick your images for the hand-edit. Seven days after you submit your selections, your hand-edited photos will be delivered via an online gallery.
If you purchase the full gallery upgrade, you will receive the download link within 48 hours of payment.
Color edit includes an overall color adjustment to make the photos appear brighter, more colorful, and properly exposed.
In addition to the color edit, hand edit includes basic skin smoothing, removal of blemishes, bruises, and a few fly-aways, as well as more detailed color adjustments. It gives your photos a more “polished” look.
Payments are made by credit card. A $100 deposit is required to book your session.
The remaining balance is due at the time of your photoshoot. An invoice reminder will be emailed to you a day before your session. The proof gallery is delivered after the payment is made in full.
Absolutely. My popular services can be purchased as a thoughtful gift for special occasions, like baby showers, Mother’s Day, birthdays, and Christmas.
The entire process is straightforward and is sure to delight the recipient. Learn how it works here.
