    Do I have to get my belly out?

    Some women are happy to be fully nude, whilst others choose not have their baby bump out and showing their skin and that’s fine, the choice is yours on how you’d like to be photographed.

    If you don’t want to show any skin and be fully clothed, that’s not a problem, I want you to be comfortable at your photoshoot.

    I have a few dresses at the studio that you can wear if you want.

    If you’re already late on in your pregnancy, don’t worry I maybe able to still fit you in, so please get in touch!
