Maternity photography FAQ
The total cost is $349 for weekday (M-F) sessions, and $399 for weekend (Saturday/Sunday) sessions. This includes a download of the full-resolution, edited, digital images. Specific retouching may be an additional cost, but varies by request.
Your payment covers the session itself, and a download of all the full-resolution, edited, digital images. ‘Edited’ refers to global adjustments, such as exposure and color correction. It also includes standard retouching, if needed, to your favorite images (around 10 favorites). Please note that some retouching requests are complex and may be impossible or require an additional fee.
I dedicate up to 1 hour to every session, though depending on weather and other factors, that can run a little shorter or longer.
A typical session produces around 50-100 final, edited, full-resolution images.
Here’s a list of my recommended locations.
Since your booking reserves a specific date and time, it is non-refundable. However, your payment with me never expires, so you can always reschedule should any issues arise. Please note that if renting a studio, my policy is different from that of the studio.
I primarily work within Milwaukie/SE Portland, an area I know well, and can suggest several places that are particularly photogenic. I am also happy to travel to other locations!
I do not include prints as part of your package, so you are welcome to order prints on your own at any lab of your choosing. I am happy to assist and recommend White House Custom Colour.
Yes! Every session includes a personal print release, which means you’re welcome to print your images for personal use through the lab of your choice. You can make prints, albums, and other keepsakes for yourself and your family.
Please note that the copyright to all images remains with me. Your print release does not allow the images to be sold, entered into contests, used for commercial or business purposes, edited beyond a basic scope for printing, or shared with vendors or publications for promotional use without my permission.
Since your booking reserves a specific date and time, it is non-refundable. However, your payment never expires, so you can always reschedule should any issues arise.
This depends on the season and my work load. In my busiest months, it can take 3+ weeks to deliver a full album. However, I always try to deliver a preview album first. During peak times, I may skip the preview album in an effort to deliver your full album faster. All images are delivered via Google Albums, which are easy to share with family and friends!
Not at all! Parents, siblings and the family pet are welcome to join in the photos.
I do charge a travel fee for locations outside of the greater Portland area. Please contact me for a quote.
Absolutely. Just keep in mind that this will cut into our shooting time, so it’s best to not change more than once.
Nope! I don’t charge any kind of rescheduling fees, so we can take as many rain checks as needed to land on a sunny day.
If this happens, your maternity session payment would go towards a newborn session, instead.
My suggestion is to wait until your baby bump is prominent enough to show in photos. 6-7 months is generally safe. 7 months is the most popular choice, as many women are just too uncomfortable by month 8.
Customer Review
“ We absolutely loved working with Liz Wade for our maternity shoot and newborn photo shoot! Every interaction was filled with warmth, creativity, and genuine care. During our maternity shoot, Liz guided us through various poses and settings, making us feel comfortable and beautiful every step of the way. Her attention to detail resulted in images that truly captured the joy of expecting parenthood. When it came to the newborn shoot, Liz demonstrated a remarkable level of patience and expertise in working with our little one. The way she posed our newborn and captured every tiny detail was magical. From start to finish, working with Liz has been an absolute pleasure. We are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture the beauty and emotion of life’s precious moments, we highly recommend Liz!
Thank you, Liz, for your incredible talent and for giving us memories that we will treasure forever! ”
