MATERNITY SESSION FAQ
Yes. Your maternity session includes access to my client wardrobe, featuring a curated collection of maternity gowns designed specifically for pregnancy and photography.
These gowns are chosen to flatter your bump, enhance movement, and photograph beautifully. Final gown selections are guided by your questionnaire and session vision.
You’re also welcome to bring your own outfit if you have a specific style or sentimental piece you’d like to include.
👗 Do you provide maternity gowns?
MATERNITY PREP GUIDE
The ideal time for a maternity session is between 30–35 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your bump is beautifully round and sits higher, which photographs very flatteringly while you’re still comfortable enough to move and pose with ease.
That said, every pregnancy is unique. If you’re feeling well outside this timeframe, we can absolutely discuss scheduling based on how you’re feeling.
⏰ What is the best time to schedule a maternity session?
Yes. Your partner and children are welcome to join the session at no additional cost. These moments often add depth and emotion to your gallery.
To keep the session calm and focused, attendance is limited to immediate family only.
💄 Is hair and makeup included?
I am an email-based studio to ensure clear communication and timely responses. All questions can be sent via email, and I’ll respond as soon as possible with detailed guidance.
✨ Final note you can place at the bottom
All session details, preparation information, and investment options are shared after inquiry
✉️ Do you offer phone consultations?
Maternity sessions are approximately 2 hours. This time includes styling, gown changes, and photographing.
Please arrive on time, as session time cannot be extended for late arrivals.
⌚ How long is the maternity session?
Maternity sessions are primarily held in my home studio. Outdoor or on-location sessions may be available as an add-on, depending on location, travel time, and season. Please inquire for details.
🌳 Do you offer outdoor maternity sessions?
To book, please submit an inquiry through the Contact page. Full session details, availability, and next steps will be shared after inquiry.
💻 How do we book a maternity session?
You’ll receive a small selection of sneak peeks within 1 week of your session.
Your full proofing gallery will be delivered approximately 1.5–2 weeks after your session, where you can select your favourite images for final retouching.
👀 When will we receive our photos?
Shoes are not required. Bare feet photograph beautifully and create a soft, timeless look.
If your partner is joining, clean dress shoes or barefoot works best. Please avoid sneakers or casual footwear.
For children, bare feet are preferred, though one pair of dress shoes is recommended just in case.
🩰 Do we need to wear shoes?
Yes. Your partner and children are welcome to join the session at no additional cost. These moments often add depth and emotion to your gallery.
To keep the session calm and focused, attendance is limited to immediate family only.
👨👩👧 Can my partner or children be included?
Please bring:
A strapless bra (beige is most versatile)
Neutral underwear (white, beige, or black)
A matching bra and underwear set if you’d like intimate or fine-art maternity images
👜 What should I bring to my maternity session?
Your maternity session allows time for 2–3 outfit changes, depending on the flow of the session. If a partner or child is included, the number of changes may vary slightly to keep the experience relaxed and enjoyable.
🙋♀️ How many outfit changes are included?
Yes. After your inquiry and booking confirmation, you’ll receive a Pre-Session Questionnaire where you can share your preferences, colour palette, and overall vision.
You’re welcome to reference images from my portfolio that you love. This helps me thoughtfully plan your session and styling.
Please note: I do not recreate or copy images from other photographers or from Google.
📸 Can I choose the style or images for my session?
Maternity sessions are often booked 1–2 months in advance, sometimes earlier during busy seasons. Booking early is strongly recommended to secure your preferred date and allow time to plan styling and session details.
📆 How far in advance should I book?

NEWBORN SESSION FAQ
This page answers the most common newborn photography questions Vancouver parents ask when planning a session with Monreve Photography. From booking and safety to what to expect on the day, these FAQs are designed to help you feel confident, informed, and relaxed before your session.
Without proper experience, a photographer may not understand how to safely handle, support, or pose a newborn — which can place your baby at risk during a session.
When choosing a newborn photographer, always look for someone who:
- Specialises specifically in newborn photography
- Has extensive hands-on experience with babies
- Follows strict newborn safety protocols
- Understands newborn comfort cues and handling techniques
Never hesitate to ask about training, experience, and safety practices before booking.
Why Choosing a Skilled, Experienced, and Trusted Newborn Photographer Is Crucial
The ideal time for newborn photography is when your baby is 5–21 days old.
I strongly recommend booking reminders during pregnancy once you know your due date. I accept a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow flexibility for early or late arrivals.
Sessions are held Tuesday to Saturday, between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM
What Is the Best Age for Newborn Photography?
No. I do not offer in-home or on-location newborn sessions.
All newborn photography takes place in my studio where lighting, temperature, cleanliness, and safety are fully controlled.
Can We Have Our Session at Our Home?
Newborn sessions are always baby-led.
I aim to create as many setups as your baby comfortably allows, prioritising safety and comfort over quantity.
How Many Setups or Poses Are Included?
- Choose preferred colours
- Note colours you’d like to avoid
- Share 4–6 inspiration images
Can I Choose Colours, Setups, or Poses?
For best results:
- Mum and baby arrive first
- Another adult takes siblings for a short break
- Siblings return later for their photos
Why Book With MonREve Photography?
No. The studio is fully stocked with curated wraps, outfits, props, and accessories. Personal items are welcome but optional.
Do I Need to Bring Outfits or Props?
Can Parents and Siblings Be Included?
Hair and makeup are not included and should be arranged prior to your session.
Recommendations can be provided upon request.
Do You Provide Hair and Makeup?
The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
Is a Deposit Required?
- Proofing gallery: 7–10 days
- Final edited images: 7–14 days
