Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How Far in Advance Should Maternity Photo Sessions Be Booked?

Yes, Wanderlust Portraits has a ton of experience as a family photographer. Your partner and/or other children are welcome to be included in the photoshoot.

Whichever amazing photographer you decide to use, just be sure to let them know and they will be able to incorporate different aspects for you.
Q: How Long Does a Typical Maternity Photoshoot Last?
The length of a maternity photoshoot can vary, but typically they last around 30-60 minutes.
