OUTDOOR MATERNITY SESSIONS
If you are wanting to capture your pregnancy with images that are candid, capture the emotion and joy of impending parenthood, then an outdoor photography session with Storybook Photography is the perfect option for you.
Our outdoor maternity sessions are photographed at a range of different locations in the Hills District and The Hawkesbury Region. Our locations include a gorgeous field with long grass for a rustic feel, a stunning park with manicured gardens for something a little more formal as well as a river option for those who'd like some water in the background.
An outdoor maternity session is great for those who are not that comfortable with being in front of the camera. Whilst you will receive some guidance on posing to ensure your images are everything you dream of, we do encourage natural interactions when your partner or children are also involved in the session. This will allow Rachael to capture the details of your growing body whilst capturing joy at the same time.
MATERNITY SESSION INFORMATION
Q - When do you photograph maternity sessions?
A - We recommend holding your maternity session when you are between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy. You just need to make sure that baby bump is quite visible.
Q - Where are your outdoor sessions photographed?
A - We have several locations that we usually recommend, however the location really depends on what look you are after. Our locations offer;
- Rustic, open field with long grass
- Manicured and themed gardens with a bridge over a lake
- River with sandy beach
- Bush with tall trees
Q - What times do you photograph outdoor sessions?
A - Our outdoor sessions are always photographed around 1-2 hours before sunset as that is when the sunlight is soft, golden and makes for the most spectacular photos!
Q - Do you provide gowns?
A - Yes, we sure do. Our client wardrobe contains around 30 different dresses to choose from with plenty of variety in styles and colour to make sure there is something for everyone. We would be happy to arrange for you to come to the studio prior to your session to browse our gowns and choose the one you'd like to be photographed in.
Q - Can I wear my own clothes?
A - Yes, absolutely! This is your session and we want you to feel comfortable! We would recommend giving us a call to discuss what you are planning to wear so that we can be prepared ahead of your session and also to offer some helpful tips if you are planning to purchase something special for your shoot.
Q - I am not comfortable showing any skin - Can I still have my photos captured?
A - Absolutely! Our sessions are fully customised and they are designed to suit your taste in style as well as comfort levels.
Q - Can my partner and children attend the session?
A - Unless otherwise stated, partners and children are always welcome to attend.
Q - I can't choose between Outdoor and Studio maternity - Can you do both?
A - Yes we can! We have a bush reserve across the street and we are more than happy to do a combined indoor/outdoor session for you.
Q - Do I need to book a newborn session in order to have maternity photos?
A - Not at all. You can just book a maternity session if you wish - We do offer discounted packages when both sessions are booked at the same time though, so if you are also considering a newborn session, we would definitely recommend booking together to take advantage of these offers.
If you have further questions, please get in touch! Rachael would be more than happy to answer any questions about our sessions.
