Most maternity sessions are best photographed between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you’re still feeling comfortable. I recommend booking your session early to secure your preferred timing and location.

📅 Book your maternity session today with Sacha Smith Photography and create images you and your family will cherish for a lifetime.
The ideal time for maternity photos is between 28–34 weeks. During this window, your bump is beautifully visible and most clients are still feeling comfortable enough to move and pose with ease. I recommend booking early to secure your preferred date and location.
Flowing dresses, fitted gowns that highlight your bump, and soft fabrics photograph beautifully. Neutral tones, earth tones, and soft pastels are especially flattering. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, or anything that feels restrictive. I provide guidance before every session and can help you choose outfits that fit your vision and comfort level.
Absolutely. Partners are always welcome and encouraged. Including your partner adds connection, emotion, and storytelling to your images. I’ll guide you both through natural, flattering poses.
Yes. Maternity sessions are a wonderful opportunity to include older children and celebrate your growing family. I’ll help guide interactions so your photos feel natural, loving, and relaxed.
Your maternity gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks. Images are professionally edited with true-to-color tones and a timeless, editorial feel.
Images are delivered in a private online gallery where you can download high-resolution files, share with family, and order professional prints, wall art, and albums.
Choosing what to wear for your maternity session should feel exciting, not stressful. The goal is to highlight your bump while keeping your look timeless and comfortable.
Dresses that are fitted at the bust and flow over the bump photograph beautifully. Stretchy fabrics, wrap dresses, and gowns designed for maternity are excellent options.
Cream, beige, blush, soft gray, sage, olive, dusty blue, and warm earth tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you. These tones work especially well in Vermont’s natural landscapes.
Solid colors and subtle textures photograph best. Avoid loud patterns, large logos, or distracting graphics.
Flowing fabrics, chiffon, lace, knits, and soft layers add movement and elegance to your images.
If your partner or children are included, choose outfits that coordinate without matching exactly. Neutral palettes with subtle variation work best.
You should be able to move, sit, and walk comfortably. If something feels restrictive or uncomfortable, it will show in photos.
If time allows, bring two outfit options — one classic and one more relaxed — to add variety to your gallery.
If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to send outfit photos ahead of time for guidance.
Pregnancy and newborn days pass quickly — booking both sessions together ensures these chapters are beautifully documented from the very beginning.
When you book both your maternity session and newborn session together, you’ll receive:
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first 7–14 days after birth, allowing for calm, cozy, and timeless images.
This bundle is perfect for families who want to tell their full story — from anticipation to first cuddles.
