THE ON CUE MATERNITY EXPERIENCE

Pregnancy is a powerful and fleeting chapter of your story. At On Cue, we believe Mom deserves to be at the center of it for a little while.

Your maternity portrait experience is designed to make you feel beautiful, powerful, and completely cared for—while also preserving the people and relationships that are becoming part of this next chapter.

Because motherhood doesn't begin the day your baby arrives. Maternity and newborn portraits are two chapters of the same story—each deserving to be remembered in its own way.

From wardrobe and styling to posing and artwork design, every detail is thoughtfully planned so you can step out of everyday life, be beautifully taken care of, and simply enjoy being celebrated.

A Celebration of the Life You Are Growing

Experience

Where your story becomes art.

Your experience begins with a conversation. After you inquire, we'll connect by phone to talk about your vision, answer your questions, and make sure On Cue is the right fit for you. We'll discuss everything from styling and session design to the artwork you'll eventually create.

No pressure. Just a thoughtful conversation about what you're envisioning.

1. Inquire & Phone consult

2. in person design consultation

Your in-person design consultation takes place at the studio and lasts about an hour. Together, we'll plan the details of your session, explore inspirational images, select colors, and choose pieces from the studio wardrobe. We'll also begin envisioning how your portraits will live in your home—from statement wall art to heirloom pieces created for generations.

3. your portrait session

When you arrive at the studio, everything has already been thoughtfully prepared. I'll guide you through posing, wardrobe changes, and the creative direction of your session so you never have to wonder what to do next.

The experience is relaxed, intentional, and completely guided—giving you the freedom to simply be present while I create portraits that celebrate this season of your life.

4. Your reveal and order appt

Your portraits are revealed for the first time during your personal ordering appointment. Together, we'll choose the images you love and thoughtfully design how they will become art in your home.

Whether you're envisioning statement wall art, an heirloom album, or a collection of your favorite portraits, I'll guide you through the options so your final artwork feels personal, intentional, and beautifully suited to your home.

5. artwork pick up and inspection

When your finished artwork arrives, I personally inspect every piece before it is packaged. I check the color, finish, craftsmanship, and every detail to make sure it meets the standards I expect for your finished artwork.

At your pickup appointment, we'll inspect your artwork together before I carefully package it for you to take home.

Then it's time for your portraits to come home.

Whether you've chosen a single statement piece or a collection of heirloom artwork, these aren't photographs meant to live in a drawer or on a hard drive. They're pieces created to be displayed, enjoyed, and become part of your family's story for years to come.

This is the moment your photographs become something you can hold, see, and enjoy every day.

The Maternity Process

maternity creation fee :  $290

Your creation fee reserves your portrait experience and covers the planning, preparation, styling, and creative expertise that go into designing your session.

Portraits and artwork are selected separately, giving you the freedom to choose exactly what you love—whether that's a single meaningful image or a complete heirloom collection.

From wardrobe and styling to the final artwork, every detail is thoughtfully designed around you. Payment plans are available, making it possible to create something meaningful without compromising the experience.

your maternity experience

I recommend reserving your session early in your second trimester, ideally around 12–20 weeks. Maternity portraits are typically photographed between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully defined while you're still comfortable enough to move and pose. Reserving early also gives us plenty of time for your design consultation, wardrobe selection, and artwork planning.

maternity photography FAQ

You don't have to figure that out alone. Your session includes access to my curated studio wardrobe of luxury maternity gowns and flattering pieces designed specifically for pregnancy. During your design consultation, we'll select looks that complement your vision, your personality, and the style of artwork you want to create.

Q: What should I wear?

Your maternity session is thoughtfully guided from beginning to end. We'll use your design consultation to plan your wardrobe, styling, and vision, then create a variety of portraits that celebrate your pregnancy—from elegant maternity portraits to meaningful images with your partner and children. You won't be left wondering how to pose or what to do; I'll guide you through the experience so you can relax and enjoy being celebrated.

Q: WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY MATERNITY SESSION?

Absolutely. While your maternity experience is intentionally centered around you—the mother—it is also an important chapter in your family's story.

You'll have time to feel beautiful, powerful, celebrated, and completely spoiled for a little while before your baby arrives. We'll also create meaningful portraits with your partner and children, because this season belongs to them, too.

The result is a collection of portraits that celebrates both the woman you are and the family you are becoming. extraordinary now and become meaningful heirlooms for your family later.

Q: Do you photograph partners and children during maternity sessions?

You won't have to figure that out on your own. During your reveal and ordering appointment, we'll look through your portraits together and talk about which images speak to you and how you'd love to enjoy them in your home.

If you already have a specific wall or space in mind, I'll provide simple instructions for sending me the details I need. I can then use portraits from your session to create a visual mockup, allowing you to see how different images, sizes, or arrangements could look in your own space before making your decision.

My goal is to help you choose artwork you'll genuinely love living with—not simply images that look beautiful on a screen.

Dania did my maternity pictures, and she made me feel beautiful and had so much fun trying out clothes. It was an amazing experience that I am so honored to have. The pictures afterwards were amazing. She does amazing work. I am happy from Day 1, and can't wait to have my newborn and family picutres with her too.

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.
