Frequently Asked Questions

"Jaime's work is absolutely stunning!

She was really welcoming and I felt comfortable with her and her handling my baby. She is extremely gentle and patient with baby which I really liked. I am in awe of the results."

- Bessie C.

When is the best time to book my maternity session?

The sooner, the better! My schedule fills up quickly, so I always recommend booking in your second trimester to make sure you get a spot. We take first trimester bookings, as well.

Can my partner and older children be in the photos?

Of course! Your maternity session is about celebrating this moment for your whole family. Whether it’s just you, you and your partner together, or all of you with your other kiddos, we’ll make sure to capture what feels right for you.

How far along should I be for my maternity photos?

The sweet spot is between 30-34 weeks - your bump is beautifully round, but you’re still feeling (mostly) comfortable. If you’re expecting twins, we’ll plan for earlier since they love to make an early debut. We understand that every woman experiences pregnancy differently, so your date is always flexible. We touch base with you regularly to ensure that we photograph your session at the perfect time for you.

Do you offer packages for maternity and newborn sessions?

Absolutely! Most of my clients want both sessions because this time goes way too fast. Booking both means you get priority scheduling for your newborn session and a special bundled rate. 

What should I wear for my maternity photos?

I’ve got you covered! My client closet is stocked with gorgeous, high-end gowns that photograph beautifully. We also have gorgeous fabrics for draping and jewelry to enhance your portraits. If you have a dress you love, bring it along - Either way, I’ll help you choose the perfect look that flatters your bump and matches the vibe you want. 

What if I feel self-conscious about my body?

Every mom has this thought, but trust me, you are stunning and deserve to see yourself that way. I know all the best angles, lighting, and poses to highlight your beauty, and I’ll guide you through the whole process so you feel confident and relaxed.

How long does it take to receive my images?

You’ll get to see your images within two weeks at your viewing appointment, where we’ll design a collection of your favourites. Afterwards we will begin our custom editing - every image you receive is fully edited in our cinematic style so every one of your pieces looks like it stepped out of a magazine.

Do you offer hair & makeup in studio?

Yes! We offer professional hair and makeup as an add-on, and trust us - our makeup artist is amazing. This isn’t just about looking good in photos (though you absolutely will); it’s about feeling pampered, confident, and like the best version of yourself.

It’s the perfect way to take a moment for YOU before stepping in front of the camera. Hair and makeup are also included in some of our combo packages, so be sure to ask about those when booking!

"Working with Jaime was such an amazing experience.

She did a very good job making me feel comfortable as I chose to go partially nude for my maternity photos.

She helped us with poses so we knew exactly what to do during the shoot. We can't wait to book more sessions in the future!"

- Amari C.

"Jaime is such a talented photographer!

We did a maternity photoshoot with her and she made my husband and I feel so comfortable that it shows through our pictures. 

She also supplied the beautiful dresses. We can't wait to do our newborn photo session with her! Definitely, the best photographer I've ever worked with!"

- Sarah B.
