NATURAL RETOUCHING FOR
BEAUTIFUL MATERNITY PORTRAITS

We want you to LOVE your new portraits. So, we EDIT and RETOUCH every image we show you.
Taking the images is only half the story. After we’ve taken your maternity portraits, we’ll edit and retouch every image to ensure that we’ve created the very best maternity portraits for you.
Our standard editing includes:
- All standard editing and cropping, exposure, and white balance adjustments as needed
- Removal of any erroneous props, background edges, etc
- All general colour correction, and correction of skin tones
- Spot retouching and natural-looking skin retouching
- A judicious ‘nip & tuck’ where appropriate
- All photographic finishing & styling
We’re very particular about our editing process. We think it’s important to provide beautiful images with realistic skin tones and textures. We keep our editing very natural looking… but trust us, you’ll look amazing!
If you are considering having maternity photos taken we would definitely recommend Baby Shoots photography!

FAQs
When should we book a maternity shoot?
The ideal time for your maternity photoshoot is between 28 and 36 weeks. This is when your bump is beautifully prominent, and you’re still feeling relatively comfortable. We recommend booking your session in advance to secure your preferred date and time.
Do I need to bring my own outfits?
You don’t need to – but you can if you want to…
All maternity portrait sessions include free use of our range of specially created maternity gowns at no extra charge. However, we’re also happy for you to include your own outfits if you’d prefer.
Once booked, we’ll send you all the information you need regarding outfits, plus our recommendations for the most suitable undergarments to bring with you.
I’m nervous! Can bring a friend or partner?
Yes, of course… a bit of nerves is natural for most people, so if you’d like to bring a friend or partner for a bit of moral support that’s no problem. In fact, for many of our maternity shoots, we often include a few portraits with a partner anyway, if required.
I also want a Newborn Photoshoot… is there a special deal?
Absolutely!
Many customers booking Maternity Portraits also want a set of beautiful Newborn Portraits when their baby is born… so we created our very popular 3-Shoot Baby Plan just for this!
Our Baby Plan includes any 3 portrait sessions, PLUS digital images AND a stunning heirloom print box with mounted prints inside, after your 3rd session! Click here for details.
