What To Expect From Your Petite Maternity Session

The Petite Maternity Session with Leah Islinger Photography is a simplified option created for expecting mothers who want a beautiful, intentional maternity experience without a full-length session. Available in Appleton & throughout the Fox Valley, WI, this session is designed to focus solely on you and the season you’re in.

This page shares details & pricing so you know exactly what’s included. A petite maternity session offers a shorter session time, making it perfect for those who want a quick, stress-free experience while still receiving timeless images. Sessions may take place outdoors or in the studio, depending on your preferred style and comfort.

You’ll find guidance on when to schedule your session, along with helpful tips on what to wear to ensure your images feel polished and flattering. Each gallery is carefully edited with the same professional attention to detail, soft, natural tones and a refined finish that highlights your glow.

The Petite Maternity Session is designed for mom only, with no additional subjects included. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for a more minimal experience, have limited time, or simply want a small collection of images that celebrate your pregnancy in a meaningful, effortless way.

Misc Tips & Info

HELPFUL HINTS FOR YOUR MATERNITY EXPERIENCE

* On your session day wear comfortable, well-fitting clothing. Check to be sure your buttons are not pulled tight, so there are no gaps, etc.* Be sure to wear the proper bra - if you are wearing your own dress/gown or one of mine check to be sure the straps are not visible. My gowns are best photographed with a nude bra, either strapless or with clear straps, or even no bra.

* Take into consideration your undies as well if you are wearing a gown - again nude works best and a thong works even better. With a lot of the gowns materials, it can be difficult to edit visible underwear.

* A classic black top always looks good, something fitted to show off your curves. A fun, and funky shirt or dress photographs great if that is your style. Tank tops are also a good look paired up with a pair of jeans. I love dresses that hug the curve of your baby bump! Most importantly, if you feel good about what you're wearing then you'll look good!

* I have many maternity gowns & various bodysuits for my client's use. I'm also open to any 'Au-natural' poses if that is something you're up for!

* I like to encourage partners to be in some of the photos.....it's always so amazing to see couples together with their baby-to-be!

* Upon arrival, I like to chat about your expectations for your portraits & your session. Please let me know of any 'must-have' photos so we can try to get those done right away. Take a peek at my 'Maternity' Gallery for inspiration!

* Please limit your session to immediate family only.

* It is not required but consider pampering yourself by getting hair and makeup done before your session. I highly recommend Dana Michele Makeup & Aesthetics for a super natural look if you are interested!!

* And most importantly, just RELAX! Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman's life and I am dedicated to capturing all of the beauty and wonder that goes with it! I do get asked to cover stretch marks and I will most certainly do that so forget all about those pesky marks and let your Baby-Glow shine!

Please view my GOWN CATALOG (click link) for all of the gown options I can offer you in my ever-growing client closet!

You are welcome to come into the studio before your maternity session to see the gowns in person for an additional consultation fee of $75, which will be invoiced separately from your session fee retainer. The consultation may only be scheduled after your session has been officially booked.

If you wish to send me 'inspiration' photos, please be sure they are from my own website or my Facebook page and not Pinterest or from a web search. I prefer to photograph in my own style and cannot replicate certain poses or ideas.

Please note: no RAW or unedited images will be delivered in your final order. Only the included images in your session or additional purchased digital files will be delivered.
