How to Prepare for Your Luxury Maternity Session Experience:

Welcome to Tracie Jean Photo Studios, where we specialize in offering a space for your inner Goddess to be lavished in luxury during your maternity photography experience. If you’re reading this you’ve either already booked your session with us or you’re considering giving yourself the gift of a most UNFORGETTABLE experience. Either way, here are some of the best tips I can offer after hundreds of maternity sessions & 15 years of experience as a Cincinnati Maternity Photographer:

1. Pamper Yourself: Prioritize self-care in the days leading up to your maternity session. Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and indulge in spa treatments or prenatal massages. Yes, girl! Go all out. We highly recommend our partners at Becoming Mom Spa for treatments. A relaxed and radiant mom-to-be translates into captivating and magnificent photographs.

2. It’s tempting to try to save some money by not investing in professional hair & makeup for your maternity session but it would be a mistake! Our Cincinnati based artists are in cahoots with us on our plan to offer you the most luxurious & pampered maternity session experience available. Their professionalism and expertise is unmatched in the industry. Allow yourself to have the full immersion by trusting them to nail the look you’re after for your session. Trust our artists from Brideface to hook you up! BE A GODDESS FOR A DAY!

3. Talk to me. Tell me all of your insecurities about your arms, stretch marks, birthmark, pimples, dimples….all of it! All levels of editing are available from moms who want to celebrate their stretch marks to moms who want our magic eraser :) Magazine worthy edits are coming your way!

4. Come with ideas but not a rigid plan! You’ve likely also heard this about your birth plan….amiright? The best sessions are a collaboration between you & our team. It’s hard to put into words but there is magic that happens when a creative space is open & all allow the creativity to flow & flourish. You will LOVE this aspect of your maternity session! You literally get to become a work of art.

5. Trust us. I know this can be a new idea but believe me, we are 100% invested in you looking like a blossoming bombshell. No one gets out of here without feeling and looking ridiculously fabulous. It’s not just words. It’s our PASSION. It’s our MISSION. If you’ve read our reviews, you already know we don’t play. You can trust us to give you a mind-blowing experience & jaw-dropping images to remember it by.

6. Gather just a few things. Bring a thong & strapless bra as close to your skin color as possible. If you have jewelry or anything sentimental that you’d like included feel free to bring those items. Most of our gowns cover your feet, however feel free to bring any heels that you love if they help you feel amazing, That is literally it! We’ve got everything else covered.

7. Get freaking excited!! We are going to have the most amazing time. This will be a day you will remember forever.
