Below given are the commonly asked FAQ’s for a Maternity Portrait Session :

1. Who will be the Photographer?
   
   Amrita Samant will be capturing your portraits, unless stated as team shooting.

2. Where will the shoot take place?
   
   We can collaboratively decide a venue to do your session. Either indoors at your home, at our/a studio or outdoors at a park.
   
   In Chennai: We typically shoot at Semmozhi Poonga which has an entrance fee of Rs.2000 for the photoshoot.
   In Bangalore: Cubbon park Or Indira Gandhi Musical Fountain park (Raj Bhavan Road)
   Any other city: I’m happy to work with your suggestion or I will do due research to help find a great location!

3. What time do these  shoots typically take place for a Maternity Session?
   
   Maternity is best done within 7-8 months.

4. Will you provide clothing for the Maternity Portrait shoot?
   
   We do have limited gowns on rental for the Expecting mom which you can choose to rent out at Rs.2500 per gown.
   You can also choose to wear your own outfits for the shoot.

5. What kind of clothes should we wear to a photoshoot (Family,Couples)?
   
   Ideally, light and solid coloured outfits look best, for everyone. Whites, creams, beige, peach, light blue, yellow etc look really good. Avoid printed clothing as much as possible to avoid taking the attention away from your expressions.

6. Are you flexible with time?
   
   Yes, we are flexible with time as we are working with a Mum-to-be. We do understand if there is tiredness in between shoots. A quick break to rest will be provided if need be.

7. When will we receive the images after we complete a portrait session?
   We take up to 30 days for the delivery of images. If, in case, you wish to get the images on priority, we do have a ‘Quick delivery’ option at an additional charge. To explain, we are covering a lot of shoots per month, hence I really require the time to do justice to the images and deliver a good set to you in 30 days.

8. Do you have props for Maternity Portraits?

   My style is to make Maternity portraits natural and simple, as a style or approach. 
   So we don’t have any maternity props, but we can arrange for the props  you require with good notice. These props will come at an additional cost (on actuals) from our vendor.

9. How many days earlier should we make a booking?
   
   A three weeks notice is good enough if you are flexible about weekdays. But if you are looking for a specific weekends/ a specific date, kindly inform us at the earliest possible, as some dates and weekends get booked out a month or two in advance.

10. Do the portrait sessions include family portraits?
    
    Yes! All our sessions include family portraits that include the Mother, Father and siblings (if any).

11. Can we do both indoor and outdoor locations for Maternity shoot?
    
    Yes, but please ensure to pick the bigger package for the same as it will be extremely rushed to do it in our mini-session package.  At my end, I do need time in each location (indoor/outdoor) to give you good portraits.
