There’s just something incredible about capturing an expecting mama in all her glowing, radiant beauty. At Ashley Lopez Photography, my goal is to make your maternity photography experience in Kansas City feel as stress-free and empowering as possible.
That said, I’m also a realist—and a mom—so I completely understand the emotional rollercoaster that comes with pregnancy. The hormones, the prep, the planning… it’s a lot. That’s why I’ve created a simple checklist to help ease your mind and make sure you feel confident and ready for your session!
Here are my top 3 things to bring to your maternity shoot:
1. The Right Undergarments
I provide an extensive studio wardrobe—think gorgeous gowns, soft draping fabrics, and elegant pieces—so there’s no need to buy anything new! That said, I recommend bringing a nude or flesh-toned thong, and any strapless bras, sticky cups, or shapewear you feel good in. If you're going for a look that includes jeans or pants, please bring those with you!
2. A Little Snack + Hydration
Our sessions typically last a couple of hours, and trust me—a quick bite of your favorite snack or a sip of water can make a world of difference. Bring a little something to keep your energy up. Don’t worry, I’ll also have a few treats at the studio just in case.
3. Confidence, Mama
Getting in front of the camera can feel vulnerable—especially during pregnancy. But this session is all about you. I recommend giving yourself a little extra TLC the night before, playing your favorite hype song on the way in, and walking through my studio door with the reminder that you’re growing life. That’s powerful. That’s beautiful. And we’ll be here to cheer you on every step of the way.
You’ve got this—and I’ve got you.
