Motherhood Session Preparation Guide

Thank you so much for choosing me to capture these precious memories for you. This guide is designed to prepare you and your children for your upcoming session and to answer any questions you might have! If any of your questions went unanswered, please do not hesitate to contact me at hi@lisajohnsonphotography.ca.

Location

My home studio is located in Stittsville at 322 Eaglehead Crescent.

What to expect

My intention with these sessions is to capture the tender embrace of a mother and her babe. Moments you wish were caught for you - all the cuddles, the giggles, and the gentle feeds. I will be there to direct your "poses" but most of your time will be interacting with your children and giving them all the cuddles and kisses. I’ll capture your love and special connection.

What to wear

I strongly suggest wearing white/cream/beige/brown outfits for parents and children (PLEASE avoid bright colours and black). Textured fabrics are great but please no strong patterns. For mom, a simple flowy dress looks fantastic, otherwise a neutral shirt or sweater with leggings works great too.

For children, a simple t-shirt, sweater or dress will look great. You are welcome to use any items from my client closet for your children! Outfits vary in sizes from newborn - 7. Head over to my Instagram stories highlight "Client Closet" to see all your options!

After the session

Within 2-3 weeks of your session, you will receive your full photo collection through a secure online gallery. You will be able to select your 15 photos, purchase extra photos or the whole gallery. Galleries will remain online for 2 months, and then will be removed to make room for new sessions. Please ensure you have downloaded your gallery!
