Approach and Routing
The Maternity Mini tier covers intimate maternity portrait session in the studio with one outfit and one studio gown for the expectant couple. Shooting takes place inside our climate-controlled San Mateo studio, with props and a 2,800 square foot footprint suited to family, maternity, and newborn portrait setups. The mini tier sticks to the studio gown and one personal outfit so the session moves quickly. Jaimie or Tae or Stanley arrives, sets the lighting around the climate-controlled space, and runs the couple through poses for the gown and the personal outfit. 40 minutes of coverage is structured so the session fits inside the studio's natural light windows and the prepared posing flow.
