“I've had nothing but the best experience with True Essence Photography. From the moment I originally contacted the team for my shoot, through the booking process, the actual shoot, and receiving my photos afterwards. Very professional team. Dontavious was quite helpful and made this a very easy process. And I can't forget to mention how respectful the remainder of the the team was. They made sure everything was done in a timely manner, and I will definitely continue to use them for my photography needs.”

FAQ
Maternity Booking FAQ
01When is the best time to book a maternity session?
The best time to book is usually before the final weeks of pregnancy, so you have enough time to plan and secure the look, date, and location you want. Many maternity sessions are photographed when the baby bump is clearly showing, while you are still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.
02Do you help with posing during the session?
Yes. You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose. Every maternity session includes guidance to help you feel comfortable, look natural, and create images that feel soft, flattering, and true to you.
03Can my partner or children be included?
Yes. Maternity sessions can include your partner and children if you want the images to reflect your growing family as a whole. This can make the session feel even more personal and meaningful.
04What should I wear to my maternity session?
Wear something that feels beautiful, comfortable, and true to your style. Fitted dresses, flowing gowns, and simple outfits often photograph well. Once your session is booked, you can also ask for help if you need guidance on what to wear.
05Can I choose my location?
Yes. Your maternity session can be planned around a location that matches the look and feel you want. If you are unsure where to shoot, help is available in choosing a setting that fits your vision.
