Every maternity session at Ana Lanier Portrait is crafted to honor this fleeting chapter with elegance, intention, and a touch of editorial magic. You’re not just booking photos — you’re giving yourself a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures your glow, your grace, and your growing bond. From the moment you walk into our studio, it’s all about you.
Below, you’ll find everything that’s included in your session — from styling and professional glam to guided posing, behind-the-scenes footage, and the ordering process.
We begin with a quick 10-minute phone call. This is where we’ll talk through your vision, answer any questions, and determine the best session option for you.
It’s a simple first step to make sure everything feels aligned before moving forward.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll schedule your design appointment at the studio. This is where we begin planning your session in detail — from wardrobe selections and styling to overall aesthetic and creative direction.
You’ll be able to see pieces from the studio wardrobe, explore inspiration, and we’ll map out your entire session together so everything feels effortless on the day of your shoot.
We’ll also walk through the collection options and reserve your session date.
Camera-ready, without the stress.
My professional hair and makeup artist will tailor your look to your style — whether soft and natural or more bold and refined.
She stays throughout your session for touch-ups and adjustments, so everything looks polished from the first image to the final frame.
An elevated look, without the shopping.
We offer a curated collection of high-end gowns, fabrics, and accessories designed specifically for maternity photography. From fashion-forward statement pieces to timeless silhouettes and sheer draping, each look is thoughtfully styled to reflect your personality and flatter your changing body — so you can simply arrive and be taken care of.
You don’t need to know how to pose — we’ve got you.
Throughout your session, you’ll receive expert direction designed to help you feel confident and at ease. Every movement and angle is carefully guided to flatter your bump, elongate your figure, and create timeless, editorial-style portraits.
It’s a balance of gentle guidance and natural moments, so you look and feel like yourself — just elevated.
Flawless but natural — always.
We use professional studio lighting to sculpt and flatter, then apply our signature retouching process to every selected image. Skin is softened, tones are evened, and distractions are removed — all while preserving your natural beauty. The result is polished, magazine-worthy portraits that still feel like you.
A cinematic peek into the magic.
We capture behind-the-scenes moments throughout your session — from getting glammed up to twirling in gowns and posing with confidence. These short, curated clips are edited into a mini reel you’ll love to share (or simply keep as a memory of this special day). It’s a beautiful way to see the transformation unfold.
Select your favorites the same day.
Right after your session, you’ll stay for a private viewing of your portraits — a first look at everything we’ve created together. You’ll choose your favorite images during this appointment, which allows us to focus our expert retouching on only the portraits you love most. Your fully edited digital files will be delivered within 2–3 weeks, and we’ll also begin planning your custom artwork at this time.
