FAQ
When should I book a maternity session?
The ideal time to book your maternity photography session is during your second trimester. This helps secure your preferred date and allows time to plan your perfect session. At Keep It Captured Photography in Dobbs Ferry, we typically recommend scheduling your session between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy — when your belly is beautifully round, and you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move with ease.
What should I wear?
Your maternity session is all about celebrating you and this beautiful chapter in your life, so choosing outfits that make you feel radiant and comfortable is key. At Keep It Captured Photography in Dobbs Ferry, Gina offers a curated selection of studio wardrobe pieces for expecting mothers — including flowing dresses, soft fabrics, and timeless neutrals that photograph beautifully.
We recommend selecting outfits that highlight your bump and feel natural to your personal style. Think soft, breathable fabrics in solid colors or gentle textures that complement your skin tone. Avoid busy patterns or logos, as they can be distracting in photos.
Whether you choose something from the studio wardrobe or bring your own favorite pieces, the goal is to wear what makes you feel your most beautiful, confident, and connected in this moment.
Where are the sessions located?
When planning your maternity session, one of the first choices to make is whether you’d like an in-studio or outdoor setting. Both options offer their own unique feel — it just depends on your personal style and the kind of memories you’d like to capture.
In-Studio Maternity Sessions
Our cozy Dobbs Ferry studio is a beautiful, intimate space designed to help you feel relaxed and radiant. With soft natural light, carefully curated wardrobe options, and a calm, controlled environment, studio sessions are perfect for timeless, elegant portraits that focus on connection and emotion.
Outdoor Maternity Sessions
If you love nature and soft, golden light, an outdoor session might be the perfect fit. Whether it’s a serene park, a quiet riverside, or a sunlit field, outdoor locations bring a dreamy, organic feel to your photos. Outdoor sessions are typically scheduled around golden hour — that magical hour just before sunset — for the most flattering, glowing light.
Not sure which is right for you? Gina is happy to help you decide based on your vision, comfort, and the season.
What’s your editing turnaround?
You can expect to receive your edited, high-resolution newborn portraits within 2–3 weeks of your session. Each image is hand-edited to reflect Gina’s timeless, natural style, ensuring that your gallery is polished and ready to print, share, or display in your home.

Gina made me feel comfortable and confident.
Gina did my maternity photoshoot, and newborn photoshoot for our daughter. She listened to what I wanted the vibe and look and feel to be, and overdelivered. I would go again and again. She is amazing to work with.
