Chester County and Main Line MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
Maternity
Growing a family is such a unique and important time in your life. Getting pregnant is not an easy achievement. I know some people struggle for years trying to get pregnant. I know some people get pregnant and then sadly have miscarriages. There are so many challenges that occur in your fertility journey. Here at MnM Family Photography, I want to document this special time in your
lives. Let me create timeless keepsakes of this incredible time in your life. Pregnancy is truly amazing. The female body is magnificent. Step in front of my lens to remember this remarkable time forever. We can choose to do an intimate studio session, a family studio session, an outdoor sunset session and even an in-home lifestyle session where you can be comfortable at home.

THE INVESTMENT
"We were on the fence about doing a maternity shoot, but we are SO glad we decided to book our shoot with Marisa! I felt absolutely beautiful and it was so amazing to have this special chapter in our lives documented. We will treasure these photos forever! Marisa was so helpful, from helping us choose our session location to helping us coordinate outfits! It was totally stress-free and ended up being a really fun experience!" -Carmen and Adam
I CRIED WHEN WE GOT OUR GALLERY!
We had an amazing experience with Marisa. She is amazing, professional and captured the best pictures of my family. The photos she delivered of my pregnancy will be cherished for years to come. Being swollen and pregnant can make you not feel the greatest, but Marisa did an amazing job making me look beautiful! I highly recommend using her!
Marisa is a true gem. She somehow made my swollen body look magnificent! Looking at these images makes me feel proud of what my body can do. I am so thankful that we decided to have these photos taken of my pregnancy. I can now remember these moments forever!
You want to be captured when your bump is showing and you still feel great! For studio maternity sessions, I recommend anywhere from 28-32 weeks. For outdoor sessions, I recommend from 30-34 weeks. This way you are still able to move and get around easily and you haven't gotten to that swollen, uncomfortable point yet!
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?
For outdoor sunset sessions, I prefer dresses....either form fitting or flowy. I love the look of dresses at sunset walking through a field. For an in-home session, a cute cropped tee or cozy sweater and jeans. For studio sessions, I like very simple outfits. I actually have a small studio closet available for you to use that includes bodysuits, robes, some dresses. And as a part of all of my sessions, you have access to my online styling assistant program!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
This is the beauty of working with me. For outdoor locations, I am extremely knowledgeable of beautiful locations all over our area. I even have an exclusive permit to shoot at many preserves too. We could choose to shoot at your home or in your local neighborhood. Or if you want a simple and clean backdrop, we can use my studio. It's all white and allows the focus to be on you!
what location should i choose?
It's never too early to reach out and book me in your pregnancy journey. I typically say early second trimester is best in order to secure your ideal time for a session. For outdoor session, I like to shoot around 30-34 weeks. For studio sessions, I prefer to shoot a bit sooner - closer to 28-30 weeks.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?
I do travel! I can come to your home. I can come to your favorite park. I can drive to the beach. Please reach out and let me know where you are thinking for your session and we'll see if we can make it work. Depending on the distance from my location, there may be a travel fee associated with your requested location.
do you travel?
Yes! Family is always welcome during your maternity session. I love to focus on mom for a bunch of photos but I also think it can be so important to document the whole family before the newest addition changes the family dynamic. Family is considered two parents and your children. Grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles are considered extended family.
Can Family be included?
All I need to know is which type of package you'd like to book, your cell phone number and your due date. Then I'll draft up a contract for you to complete. You'll also have to pay a retainer at that point to officially get on my calendar.
