Pick a date and time. Book Early! Our recommendation to get your desired preferences is at least 3-4 weeks in advance. We will monitor the weather until the morning of the session date. Don’t worry, if it rains or is too windy, we will reschedule for the next available day. You can reserve a date on our website online.

2. Sign Our Digital Legal Agreement & Pay Deposit to Lock Your Date


Once you pick a date and time, you will get a Booking Agreement in your email. Read and sign the agreement and pay your non-refundable deposit online. This means that you are locking in the date. Remaining Balance is due on Session Date. 



3. Pick Location


You will be able to read about our top 5 locations in the Bay Area along with some example photos. Simply pick one location from the list that you like, or we can come up with our own location that is not on the list as well. 



4. Connect with Dress Rentals & Makeup Artist


We will connect you to our Maternity Dress rentals & Stylist and she will help you choose two final dresses among all 200+ dresses she has. Most dresses are designed to be wrapped around your body and fit in easily even if the size is a little off. It won’t show from the pictures. The dresses will be delivered to us, and we will bring your dresses to our photoshoot. Feel free to bring your own outfits to the shoot as well. After you pick final three dresses, we will guide your partner's outfits to make sure it will photograph well with the dresses you picked.


We will also send out a group texts with your Hair & Makeup Artist so you can share the look with her. Your artist will advise you and answer any questions for you.
