Comfort and timing in a maternity boudoir session
A maternity boudoir session is shorter on poses and longer on pauses than most people expect.
Between weeks 28 and 34 the bump is full but you can still sit, lie on your side and stand for a few minutes without discomfort. After week 34 many women get tired quickly, and I would rather work with you at 30 weeks than rush you at 37. If your doctor has asked you to rest or limit movement, tell me before the date and we plan the whole session around a bed or a sofa.
Most of the frames are taken lying on your side, sitting against pillows or standing with one hand on the wall. Side light from a large window shapes the bump and keeps the skin soft, and Florida heat is no problem indoors with the air conditioning on. We keep water close and stop for a minute whenever you ask.
Bring a robe or an oversized shirt, a dress that stretches over the bump, and one thing that belongs to this pregnancy: an ultrasound photo, a pair of tiny shoes or a note from your partner. It gives the session something personal to build around.
