Congratulations! You will be welcoming your little miracle into this world so soon! A maternity session is a beautiful way to capture the magic of this season in your family's life. My maternity sessions are designed to be stress-free allowing you to relax and simply celebrate your beauty as you transition into motherhood.
From the glow of your pregnancy to the joy in your eyes, you'll receive a full gallery that beautifully blends candid and traditional photos, creating timeless keepsakes that will remind you of this special journey for years to come. All sessions also include access to the client closet for expecting mamas as well as style guidance for the whole family so you don't have to stress about what to wear.
Once you fill out the form, I will personally reach out to you to learn more about your hopes for the session, as well as the timeline you are wanting to schedule for. Once we ensure that our visions and timelines align, I will get you set up with your client portal where you will have access to your contract, planning planning questionairre and collect your retainer to hold your session date.
I love to make the process of planning your session super easy! I have a Location Guide which can help you pick a beautiful spot for your session and A Session Guide to help you know everything you need to know about planning process and what goes into our session. Stressed about planning outfits for the family? Don't worry! I also have the option for complimentary styling for your session, and can suggest color schemes, outfits, and even give you direct links to purchase outfits so the planning stress is gone, and all you need to do is press check-out.
Here's where the fun begins! On our session day, we will meet at the chosen location and begin making beautiful memories. I love to let the children take the lead, and incorporate play into our sessions to get the genuine smiles and authentic personalities weaved into our session. You will be given prompts to elicit real connection between your family, rather than simply stiff and awkward posing.
After our session, you can expect to receive your full gallery of images within 2 weeks. Can't wait? I also give sneak peeks for all of my sessions within 48 hours, so you have an image or share with your friends and family and build excitement for the full gallery reveal!
Though you are given a full gallery of images and a print release, purchasing prints through Scarlet Oak Photography is the best way to ensure the highest, heirloom quality prints and albums. I use a professional print lab for all of my prints and products, ensuring you receive the truest color tones and clarity in your images, as well as the highest quality of paper choices to allow your images to last generations.
All experiences include a digital gallery of your high-resolution images. For detailed pricing information and availability, please send a message via my contact page.
"I couldn’t be happier with the photos - the lighting, the elegance and simplicity. And on top of it Emily was amazing to work with! We will work with her again for sure!" -Krissi O.
Generally, I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 30-36 weeks, but every momma is different. Usually by this point in the pregnancy, you will have a defined baby bump to show off in pictures. I do understand how different each pregnancy can be! First time moms often show later in pregnancy, so a first time mom might want to wait until the later end of this range, while moms who have had previous pregnancies might want to have an earlier session. We can always book a session for this range, and adjust accordingly based on your individual pregnancy.
I would love to photograph your you and your wherever you feel most comfortable. Have a sentimental location in mind? Always dreamed of a maternity session in a wildflower field? I would love to make that happen for you!
Don't want to worry about the unpredictable Georgia weather? Prefer the look a a studio session? I would love to have you at my cozy, private studio here in Cumming.
When booking a session with Scarlet Oak Photography, you do not need to stress about what to wear. Not only to I send all of my clients a style guide for inspiration, I offer a client closet for moms and babies, and can also offer complimentary and custom styling advice for the entire family.
I have availability for maternity sessions year round. I do suggest booking your session at least 1-2 months in advance as pregnancies can be unpredictable and we want to make sure you are able to have your session before your baby is here!
Yes! I travel to document maternity sessions all the time. I would love to meet you in a location that is sentimental to you, but also have a list of my favorite locations to share with you as well. I do, however, try to stay within 1 hour of my studio in Cumming, GA.
Click the "Get In Touch" button below on the Investment section of this page and I would love to send you my entire pricing and session guide. If you have more detailed questions and would prefer to talk to me directly, I would be more than happy to set up a consultation call for you as well.
All of my sessions require a non-refundable retainer of $200. This holds your session date for you and ensures my availability for your newborn session.
