For maternity photographers
Maternity shoots, printed as keepsakes
A maternity shoot is the first chapter of a family’s story. Offer a fine-art wall portrait, a small album of the shoot and a plan that carries on into the newborn session.

Selling tips for maternity photographers
Book the newborn session now
Offer a maternity-plus-newborn package at the maternity shoot, ending in one album.
Lead with a wall portrait
A single large portrait of the bump is often the piece parents want most.
Keep the covers matching
Choose a cover series that the newborn album can match, so the set sits together.
Order a test print for skin tones
Soft, glowing skin is the whole look. Check it with a test print before a large piece.
