Book Your Maternity Session in 5 Simple Steps

Thinking about maternity portraits but feeling unsure where to start? You’re not alone. For many first-time moms, booking a session can feel overwhelming. At Zesty Orange Photography, we make it easy, personal, and stress-free—so you can focus on celebrating this incredible season of your life.

Here’s how to book your maternity session in 5 simple, clear steps:

---

Step 1: Decide When You Want Your Session

Most clients book their maternity session for around 28–32 weeks pregnant, when the belly is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable moving and posing. But timing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

If you’re unsure when to schedule, this guide on what week of pregnancy is best for maternity photos can help you choose the perfect window for your body and lifestyle.

Step 2: Reach Out Early (Even in Your First Trimester!)

We recommend reaching out as early as possible—many clients contact us in their second trimester to book their maternity session. Since we only take a limited number of maternity clients each month, booking early ensures you’ll have access to planning time, our full studio wardrobe, and any seasonal set options available.

Step 3: Schedule Your Planning Consultation

Once you book your maternity session, we’ll schedule a 1:1 planning consultation to discuss everything from styling to comfort preferences. This meeting happens in-studio and allows us to walk you through wardrobe options, hair and makeup services, set design, and more.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Portrait Experience

Our sessions are designed to be calm, guided, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether you want something soft and romantic, bold and modern, or something uniquely you, we tailor every detail to your vision. You’ll feel supported, pampered, and celebrated every step of the way.

Step 5: Choose the Images You Love

After your session, you’ll return for a private viewing and ordering appointment. We’ll walk you through your images and help you choose from heirloom albums, wall art, and digital collections. Every piece is crafted to turn your story into art you’ll treasure for years.

Your Experience Matters Just as Much as the Photos

At Zesty Orange Photography, we believe that how you feel during your session becomes part of what you remember every time you see your images. That’s why every detail—from wardrobe styling to posing guidance—is designed to help you feel confident, radiant, and deeply seen. When you book your maternity session with us, you’re choosing a portrait experience that honors your story with beauty and intention.
