Experience

First you will inquire for your session, providing your contact information so that we can have a short chat on the phone. Your phone consultation is a chance for us to connect and thoughtfully plan your portrait experience. During this brief call, we’ll discuss your vision for your maternity  session, answer any questions you may have, and walk through the full experience—from styling and session preparation to artwork options. It’s a relaxed conversation designed to ensure you feel confident, excited, and fully prepared for your session at On Cue Photography.

2. in person design consultation

Your in-person design consultation takes place at the studio and lasts about an hour. During this time, we’ll plan the details of your session, review inspirational images you love, select colors, and try on pieces from the studio wardrobe. We’ll also explore the heirloom artwork options available so you can begin envisioning how your portraits will be displayed and cherished in your home for generations.

3. your portrait session

Your maternity portrait session is designed to be relaxed, guided, and enjoyable. When you arrive at the studio, everything will already be prepared based on the styling and planning from your consultation. I will gently guide you through flattering poses and wardrobe changes while creating a calm, comfortable atmosphere so you can simply enjoy the experience. The session moves at an easy pace, allowing us to capture elegant, timeless portraits that celebrate this beautiful season of motherhood.

4. Your reveal and order appt

During this appointment at On Cue Photography, we will review your images together and thoughtfully design how they will be displayed—whether as statement wall art, a custom album, or a collection of heirloom pieces. Using your home and personal style as inspiration, I will guide you through selecting your favorite portraits and help you choose the sizes, finishes, and arrangements that best showcase your family’s story. The goal is to make the process simple, enjoyable, and tailored so your artwork feels both meaningful and beautifully integrated into your home.

5. artwork pick up and inspection

Once your artwork has been carefully produced, you’ll return to the studio for your art pickup and inspection appointment. During this time, we will review each piece together to ensure every detail meets our quality standards before it goes home with you. This final step allows you to see and hold your finished heirloom artwork in person, ensuring it is perfect and ready to be displayed and cherished for generations.

The Maternity Process

maternity creation fee :  $290

The creation fee covers the time, expertise, and preparation required to design and photograph your session. Portraits and artwork are selected separately, allowing you the freedom to choose exactly what you love—whether that’s a few meaningful images or a custom heirloom collection. Each order is thoughtfully designed to fit your vision, with payment plans available if needed. This moment in your family’s story happens only once, and my goal is to help you preserve it as beautiful artwork that can be cherished for generations.

Maternity Photography Pricing

The best time to reserve your maternity session is early in your second trimester (around 12–20 weeks). Our calendar fills several months in advance, and booking early ensures availability in the ideal photography window.

Maternity portraits are typically photographed between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined while you’re still comfortable moving and posing. Reserving early also allows time for styling consultation and gown selection from our curated studio wardrobe, ensuring your session is thoughtfully designed and completely stress-free.

This was the most professional welcoming shoot I’ve ever done. I booked a whole package and so glad I did. I am I love with my maternity sneak peak and can’t wait to see the rest. She really knows what she’s doing and is knowledgeable in the art. I felt sooooooo empowered and beautiful. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Totally worth it.

She made me feel so comfortable during my maternity session and was incredibly patient and gentle with my baby during the newborn shoot. Her attention to detail and professionalism really stand out. The photos came out beautiful and are something I will cherish forever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality, meaningful photos!

Dania was super gentle with my little bean and was able to soothe her. I also learned a couple of tricks and as a FTM it was super helpful. Everything about this experience was amazing!
