Maternity Photography FAQs
What is the best time for maternity photography?
Most moms schedule their maternity photography for their 7th or 8th month of pregnancy. The goal is to have a nice round belly and still feel energetic and pretty. But then again, you know your body. Schedule for a time when you feel like you want to document to blessing of your child on the way.
What are the best places for maternity photography?
Kitta has a whole list of awesome places, from country roads and fields of swaying grass to many of the architectural wonders of the Portland area. A favorite approach is to use evening lighting to create a backlight effect. Kitta also has a private outdoor photo studio with a Pacific NW vibe that uses lush native plantings to give a Garden of Eden vibe.
What should I wear for my maternity photos?
Maternity photos really are about the belly, so clingy, stretchy belly accentuating dresses are always a good choice. Otherwise, it really depends on your chosen backdrop. A field of mature wheat is a light color, so a darker wardrobe is best. A city street in the springtime is a darker background so a lighter dress might be best. Avoid small, highly repeated patterns if possible.
What kind of maternity photo packages are available?
Kitta offers maternity sessions based upon time behind the camera. A whole session is 75 minutes behind the camera and yields 100 final edited images and supports multiple locations and wardrobe changes. A half session is 30 minutes behind the camera and yields 40-50 final edited images. Kitta also offers combination maternity and newborn packages.

Maternity Photographer Reviews
“Because she is so fantastic and easy to be around, I had her photograph two of our kiddos’ births. They are the most amazing and tender pictures! I would not hesitate to tell anyone to use her for all of life’s occasions.”
— Tressa S
“Kitta is magical. I hate having my picture taken. I always end up cross eyed, double chinned, and mid sentence in pictures. But not with Kitta! Somehow she captures the best light, the best angle and the best moment without you even knowing!”
— Brooke H
“Kitta has the best energy which is relayed to her subjects and makes her photo sessions and photos truly a unique, lovely and beautiful experience. She captures your family in all their glory.”
