.1. When should I book my maternity session?

Most mothers book their maternity session between 28–34 weeks, when the bump is beautifully round and you’re still comfortable. Booking early helps secure your preferred date.

2. What should I wear for my maternity or family session?

You’ll have full access to my curated client closet, which includes flattering maternity gowns and coordinating pieces for moms. I also provide style guidance for partners and kids, along with some client closet kids items too.

3. Do you help choose the location?

Absolutely! I offer a list of my favorite Oahu beaches, forests, and scenic spots based on lighting, accessibility, and the vibe you’re going for—whether serene, adventurous, or tropical.

4. How long does a session last?

Maternity and family sessions typically last 30–75 minutes, depending on the package and how many looks or locations we explore.

5. Can my partner and children be in the maternity photos?

Yes, of course! Maternity sessions are about celebrating your growing family, and partners + children are always welcome.

6. Do you pose us or give direction?

Yes! I do a mix of hands off and hands on posing. I guide you with natural, movement-based posing so you never feel stiff or unsure what to do. My goal is to help you feel relaxed and confident throughout your session.

7. What happens if the weather is bad?

Oahu weather changes quickly, but if conditions look unsafe or uncomfortable, we can reschedule at no additional cost. I also have backup locations when needed.

8. How long will it take to receive my photos?

Your fully edited gallery is typically delivered within 2 weeks. I always prioritize quality, consistency, and beautiful tones.

9. What is required to reserve my session?

A signed contract and a retainer payment secure your date. The remaining balance is due by your session date.

10. What if my kids don’t cooperate during a family session?

Don’t worry—this is completely normal! I focus on playful prompts, movement, and genuine connection to keep things fun and natural for the whole family. Parents really set the tone for kids so the best thing you can do is be playful and silly while keeping your cool.

11. Can I bring multiple outfits?

Yes! If time permits, we can fit in an outfit change. It’s always fun to do a dressy and more casual look especially for maternity sessions.

12.Do you edit the photos?

Yes, your full gallery is professionally edited for color, lighting, and skin tones, ensuring a polished, natural, and timeless look.

13. Do you offer sunrise or sunset sessions?

Absolutely—these are the best times for soft, golden Hawaiian light and stunning skies. Sunrise is especially great for quieter beaches.

14.Are extended family sessions available?

Yes! I offer extended family packages perfect for multi-generation sessions and Hawaii vacation gatherings.
