How do I do a maternity session?
- After you make contact with Brown Bunny Photography, we will want to have a quick chat with you on the phone. This is our first chance to get to know each other and is the fastest way for you to ask all of your questions about process and pricing.
- Once you have confirmed your session and paid the initial retainer to hold your session, we will meet in person for our planning session. This meeting can be at your home if that is convenient, or we can meet at a coffee shop. We will start planning your clothing choices and any props you might want to include. I am a huge fan of personalizing each session. I have an assortment of lovely maternity dresses in multiple sizes that you are welcome to use.
- Our last step at this meeting is to plan your purchase so I know how to organize the photo shoot. Wall art is composed differently from album images, so we want to go into the photo shoot with everything planned in advance.
- With all of the details hammered out, we will go play! Standard sessions can take an hour or so. Outdoor sessions are scheduled for "The Golden Hour", that gorgeous hour right before sunset when the light is at its prettiest. Indoor sessions are during the day depending on studio availability. You can plan on about an hour though for us to get comfortable and relaxed and done.
- Fathers and children are welcome at your session if you wish for them to be included in the images. We will want to do pictures with kids and men first and then send them away to play elsewhere while we finish up. Kid and dad attention spans are sometimes short!

- Post photo session, I will go back to the computer and pick out the best images. Each image will be hand edited to give it a gorgeous finish.
- Once editing is complete, we will meet again for the showing and purchasing meeting. You will make your final selections at this point and pay for your order. This meeting is the most fun as we ooh and ahh over your gorgeous self. I know sometimes choosing which image works best can be daunting. I will help through the entire process. I promise it will be painless and fun!
- After this final selection is done, I will do a few final sizing edits and send everything off to be printed. I use several amazing companies for the products I sell. All provide gorgeous, heirloom quality prints and products. Most are handcrafted and walked through the printing process by a real human. My company reps and I will work super hard every step of the way to make sure everything is perfect for you.
- The last step is like Christmas! I bring all of your prints and products to you! Yay! It is so much fun unwrapping each one and drooling over them. For wall art, I can even schedule someone to come hang your prints and canvases so that it can be done and in place and ready to enjoy.
- If you have signed up for a Newborn or Milestone package, at this point we will get tentative dates on the calendar. We want to make sure we capture everything!
- See? Easy peasy! This will be fun and stress free for you. I am a huge fan of relationship building and my goal is to be that friend who takes care of things for you. You need beautiful images of your beautiful kids. Let me help!
