"Sim did a wonderful job of making me comfortable in our maternity session, she offered different lighting choices and poses and made the time fly by, and I usually feel awkward with these things but she made it a positive experience. Not only that, but it was my son's birthday in heaven on the day of the session and she asked me to bring items for the pictures to honor him in a special way. That meant more than anything to me and showed me the type of kind person she is and I hope if anyone needs that kind of person in their life they will find her as well. Her photos are truly amazing and special."

Common Questions about your Maternity Session

Q

&

A

Go ahead and book when you're 12 weeks pregnant to ensure your slot doesn't fill up. 

When is the best time to book my maternity session?

We will schedule the photoshoot sometime between 25-30 weeks of your pregnancy so you'll be visibly showing and full of energy.

What month of pregnancy do we schedule the photoshoot for?

It never hurts to ask! If I can squeeze you in, I absolutely will. I've once photographed a mom and she went into labor the very next morning. 

What if I've missed these dates to schedule my session?

I send you a style guide the moment you book with plenty ideas on how to dress your bump and your partner! You're welcome to use any of my Client Closet dresses.

What do I wear?

I don't put time limits on my sessions. A maternity photoshoot can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours (usually if you're bringing older children) to get the images you want.

How long is a maternity session?

Spend Quality Family Time Together celebrating your pregnancy

Cherish the moments

I guide you through a date, so you're actually bonding and spending quality time together instead of awkwardly posing. I come prepared with age appropriate games for your older children, so they’ll have a great time celebrating your pregnancy.

As soon as you book, we schedule a time to talk about your vision for your session. We discuss outfits for your family, photoshoot location options around Amsterdam, and how you want to display your heirloom art. You have complimentary access to my client closet as well as my styling guide in your inbox! 

Once your gallery is complete, we sit back down together to walk through your framing and album choices. My little boys love looking at albums of themselves and hearing stories about when they were babies, so this might just be my favorite part!
