At Melissa Lynne Couture a maternity session celebrates one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences you will go through. We show women the beauty and power of motherhood through portraiture while embracing your bump.

We want to celebrate this miraculous time in your life and make sure that you realize just how amazing, sexy and beautiful you are! 

We want to provide you with timeless portraits that you will cherish forever. We know that pregnancy is filled with a roller coaster of emotions and an ever changing body so we promise to provide you with an experience of a lifetime where you can let go and feel beautiful!

Experience

Ever wanted to be a model for the day? Our maternity sessions feel like a real fashion shoot. We take every step to make sure your session is personalized to you. We personally guide each of our clients through their session with posing, wardrobe changes, and various set-ups.

 Since we only book one client a day, this allows us to spend all of our time on you and helping you make the most out of your experience. 

Let us capture your beautiful journey

Maternity sessions are best captured between 29 and 36 weeks. We recommend booking your maternity session with MLC at least 2-3 months in advance. If your schedule does not allow for that we would be happy to work with you on timing.

Feel free to contact us as soon as possible to book your maternity photography session. 

Scheduling

YOUR MATERNITY SESSION

Photoshoot

Once your session date is confirmed we will begin designing and planning your maternity experience. We will work with you personally to focus on your ideas and visions for your session,

We will help you in selecting the perfect wardrobe for your session and provide you with many tips and resources to help in preparing for your session.

Throughout your photoshoot you will have the opportunity to preview your images. Approximately 2-3 weeks after your session has taken place, dependent on your collection, we will either schedule a virtual reveal or send you a proofing gallery for you to view your proofs, select your favorites for retouching, and purchase any products you desire.
