Frequently Asked Questions

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

It is generally recommended to book your maternity portrait session around the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy when your belly is nicely rounded but you are still comfortable and energetic.

However, every pregnancy is different, so be sure to consult with your photographer and your healthcare provider to determine the best timing for you.

Q: Can I Have My Partner And/or Other Children Included in The Photoshoot?

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.

Perhaps you have another occasion to celebrate such as a college graduation.

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.

This allows enough time for the photographer to capture a variety of poses and settings, and also allows for any necessary breaks or outfit changes.

Q: Do You Offer a Combined Package for Maternity & Newborn Photo Shoots?
