Maternity, But Make It Vogue

Phoenix's #1 Luxury Maternity Photography Studio

If a "typical" maternity session makes you yawn, you're in the right place.

Let’s face it, you’re not typical. You’re extraordinary. And your maternity photos? They should be, too. That’s why we do things differently around here. Forget those stand-in-front-of-that-bush-and-smile maternity pictures. Here, we bring out the shimmery dresses and turn on the spotlights. Your photos will be magazine cover-ready and so stunning, they’ll be on every Pinterest board.

Why blend in when you were born to stand out?

Let's break the internet.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"I loved every minute of it"

“Words cannot describe how amazing my photo shoot was. I am not big on pictures I usually hate the camera, but Gabby made me feel soooo comfortable I felt like I had known her forever…I stand by my word 100%! I loved every minute of it.”

The Maternity Process & Experience

We believe in a stress-free celebrity-style experience. Our goal is for you to show up, relax, and get your photos taken, and we’ll take care of everything. 

1. Design your dream session

Most mothers book their session between 28-32 weeks. Once they contact us, we’ll dive into the details– from picking outfits to figuring out how to show off your best angles. We’ll look at colors, and textures and design your dream photo shoot – every session we plan is about making you feel like a million bucks.

2. get a glorious makeover

On the day of your session, we’ll steam your clothes and you’ll go right onto the makeover chair. We will go over our plan and play with poses, styles, and lighting to create unique photos just for you. 

3. view your photos & order

Once your session is complete, we’ll view your images that day. I’m a magician for making women ‘happy cry’ at their viewing. We’ll choose the best images that will go into your collection and design artwork for your home. Once we finalize your order, we start out editing magic! Every image you chose is retouched to perfection – think Vogue, but it’s all you.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

I recommend doing your photo session at 26-32 weeks gestation. The sweet spot is normally around 29 weeks for most.

No one is born photogenic. I will guide you into poses that will show off your best angles. With our professional makeover, good lighting, good posing, and a good outfit I can make anyone “Photogenic”. Plus if there’s any extra you want to remove, we can do that with our magazine retouching.

Magazine retouching is our magic touch to transform your photos into stunning, magazine-quality images. It’s a professional editing process where we smooth out skin, adjust colors for vibrancy, enhance your best features, and refine the background. This technique brings out the best in your pictures, ensuring you look as fabulous in photos as you do in person. It’s all about making you shine while keeping everything looking natural and true to you!
We’ve got you covered with our interest-free payment plans, stretching up to a 12 months before your photo shoot. Plus, with this pre-pay package, you get 10% off the total price! We also accept PayPal credit the day of your session. We totally get it if our prices initially give you a bit of a surprise – we’re here to chat and tailor a plan that works for you. Please remember that we do no offer any post-session payment plans. Your products must be paid the day of your photo reveal (prepaid or same-day full payment).

After you choose your final images, you will get your retouched photos back within 15 business days. You will use that gallery link to review your images and let us know if you need any changes. Your printed products will arrive at our studio 8 weeks AFTER you approve your changes or approve for printing. 

Anything that is not chosen at your reveal appointment gets formatted and deleted from our system.

We only allow people who are being photographed to be present. You might be thinking, “Bringing friends along sounds like a blast!” But sometimes, having an audience can make you a tad hesitant to truly let loose. We’re all about creating an environment where you can freely express yourself, laugh, and embrace every moment. Think of this as your exclusive me-time. Our team is super friendly and welcoming. You’ll feel right at home, comfortable, and totally pampered in our studio.

It’s super easy! Contact us and we’ll set up a Zoom chat to see if we are the right fit for your vision. You will book right at the end of the call by paying the retainer to hold a date in our calendar.

We normally book 3-6 months out with the exception of our pre-pay plans that are almost 12 months away. We do have last minute openings sometimes due to client reschedules. Please reach out to us to see what we have available.
We completely understand if you prefer a more natural look and want to do your own styling. Our sessions are carefully curated to provide a full, pampering experience, which includes professional hair and makeup as part of the package. This is to ensure that every client feels absolutely fabulous and gets the best possible results in their photos. While opting out of the makeover doesn’t change the session price, I promise you that our team is skilled in creating a look that’s as natural or as glam as you desire. It’s all about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
