Maternity Photoshoot Ottawa | Indecision. “I Want Maternity Photos… But I Have No Idea What Kind!”

So, you’ve decided you want maternity photos—yay! But now comes the tricky part… what kind of session do you want? A dreamy outdoor sunset shoot? A cozy, intimate studio session? Something artistic and dramatic? If you have no idea, don’t worry—you’re not alone!

Some clients come to me with a Pinterest board full of inspiration and a clear vision for their session. Others? Well, they just know they want photos but feel completely stuck on the details. If that sounds like you, take a deep breath—you don’t need to have it all figured out! That’s what I’m here for.

Here’s How I Help You Find Your Perfect Session Style:

Step 1: Let’s Browse!
I always encourage clients to look through my blog posts and galleries to see what speaks to them. Don’t worry about making big decisions right away—just scroll through and take note of what catches your eye (or what doesn’t!).

Step 2: Tell Me What You Love (or Don’t Love!)
Once you’ve gathered a few favourites, I ask you to explain what it is you like about them. Is it the soft lighting? The flowing dresses? The candid moments? On the flip side, if there’s a style you don’t like, that’s just as important! (Trust me, I don’t take it personally.)

Step 3: I Create a Custom Session Plan Just for You
Based on everything you’ve told me, I put together a plan for your session—location, outfits, poses. Then, I send it over for your feedback. This way, we make sure your maternity session feels like you before the first photo is even taken!

The best part? You don’t have to know exactly what you want from the start—just a general idea that you want photos is enough. We’ll figure out the rest together! So if you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t stress—I’ve got you.
