The Maternity Experience

Maternity sessions can be in-studio or outdoors and are typically held between 30-34 weeks. Moms-to-be are encouraged to choose 3-4 looks from the Client Closet to help provide variety for their galleries. Immediate family can be added to this session for no additional cost and there is a discount for moms who choose to book their newborn session as well.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book my maternity session?

I recommend booking between 30-34 weeks since that is when you will look the most pregnant, but still be fairly comfortable. Obviously, this can be flexible depending on your situation.

Does my partner have to participate in the session?

Not at all, that is totally a personal preference!

Will there be dresses that fit me in the Client Closet?

Absolutely! I purchase maternity dresses that are designed for photographers, so they are flattering, designed to look good on camera, and are inclusive sizing.

Can I add hair and makeup to my session?

Of course! Currently, my hair and make-up artist’s services are a la carte, inquire for current pricing.

Is a dress consultation included in this session?

It is! Schedule a time to come to the studio to meet with the Sharon Leger Photography stylist to try on dresses and create a vision for your session. Your dresses will be brought to your session, steamed and ready to go!

Can my children be included?

Absolutely!

Is an indoor option available?

Absolutely, we can always hold maternity sessions in my studio in Canton, Connecticut.

"It’s hard for me to find the perfect words to describe what Sharon has given me.

I reached out to her when I was thinking about doing maternity photos, and she quickly convinced me that I would not regret it. She was right. Not only do I not regret my maternity photos but I actually love everything about them. Every time I look at them, all of those amazing feelings I felt while I was pregnant come right back as if I’m still in the moment. They are something I will cherish forever."

"Stop reading reviews and just book your session with Sharon Leger Photography right now. Sharon has been there for my family even before we were an official family. She poetically captured our engagement, maternity and our newborn’s first photos.

I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with these precious moments.

I am not an easy client. I am nervous, unsure of myself and overly aware of every physical flaw (especially postpartum). Sharon made me feel comfortable and beautiful every step of the way. We love Sharon Leger Photography, especially the woman behind the lens! Thank you for everything, Sharon!"

"Sharon and Amy were fabulous! Right from the initial booking they made me feel special. I wore three beautiful dresses that Sharon already had available for me to wear from her client closet (I LOVE this feature!). We tried on several dresses until I found one that fit comfortably and I felt fabulous in.

Amy & Sharon were great at communicating with me every step of the process.

Amy didn’t go overboard with the makeup, she made me look like myself but a little extra glam. An elevated version of myself. They were so fabulous and I would absolutely book them again. I 10/10 recommend Sharon and Amy for maternity or family photo sessions."

"We did both our maternity and newborn photos with Sharon and she made each experience beyond amazing. I met Sharon first at our dress consultation and knew we were going to work well together. It’s incredible that she gives you access to some many dresses and really knows how to make a pregnant lady feel beautiful.

She made my husband (who admittedly did not want to take the pictures) feel so comfortable, got him laughing and even looking forward to the newborn shoot.

Then, at the newborn shoot Sharon was so patient with us (it was our first trip out) she again made me feel so beautiful in her huge selection of dresses and was so good and rocking out baby boy to sleep."

"Sharon is the absolute best! We worked with her for our maternity photos, newborn photos, and our cake smash one-year-old photos. Each time, Sharon is so professional and friendly, makes us feel right at home, and take the most beautiful photos. We are blown away every time! The client closet is awesome and Sharon really went the extra mile to find gowns that complimented me.

We had so much fun taking all of these photos and can’t wait to work with her again!

We will cherish these photos forever."

"I highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a photographer. We did our maternity shoot with her and the whole experience was great!

Her communication leading up to it so that we were prepared and knew exactly what to expect, her sweet and laid back personality made the shoot so fun and comfortable

and her quick delivery of the most beautiful photos!"

"Sharon was absolutely lovely to work with. I'm not the type of person who particularly enjoys photoshoots, but she is exceptionally adept at putting her clients at ease. Her studio is equal parts tranquil, tasteful and casual so that my wife and I were not in the least bit overwhelmed.

Sharon anticipates every possible need and plans accordingly so that you don't have to.

She is able to maintain the pace of her shoots, moving them forward judiciously without making the client feel rushed or unappreciated. She was completely down-to-earth and personable. It sounds cliché, but talking with her felt like catching up with an old friend – exactly we needed after the hectic experience of bringing our first child into the world. Sharon was more than worth the cost."
