Pregnancy is beautiful (even if it doesn't always feel that way). Let our team create gorgeous maternity portraits so you can remember this brief moment, forever.
We believe that YOU should be in control of how that investment is spent. All of our experiences are booked by paying a session fee, which includes a specific number of digital images. You will have the opportunity to view your proofs, with the guidance of your Pensacola maternity photographer, and narrow them down to your absolute favorites.
Our studio is centrally-located on the Gulf Coast, in Pensacola, Florida. Our home range extends from Rosemary Beach, Florida to Mobile, Alabama. We regularly work in Destin, Watercolor, Seaside, Santa Rosa Beach, 30-A, Navarre Beach, Seagrove, Fort Morgan, Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, Fort Walton, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Fairhope.
If you would like to work with a specific Wave photographer, please let us know when you first inquire. Please be aware that requesting a specific photographer may limit the availability we are able to offer you. Our entire team is trained to approach your session in the same way, so the quality of your images should not vary based upon your photographer assignment.
Yes, depending on which photography experience you book! Our Studio Sessions are limited to one location (our studio); with a on-location session, we are glad to visit multiple spots for maximum variety!
Yes, depending on which type of session you are booking. Our studio is only open for sessions on weekdays, but we do carry some Saturday and Sunday availability for on location session.
Living on the coast means unpredictable weather, and there is often a 40% chance of rain every day. We have learned to wait until about two hours before your session start time to make a weather call, and often the prettiest skies open up after a dreary day. If your photographer decides the weather is too unpredictable to move forward with your session, we will offer you a make-up date if we have one available. If we are unable to reschedule your session, then you will receive a full refund.
We recommend that you schedule your maternity session when you are about seven months pregnant. This usually ensures that you have a beautiful baby bump, but you still feel like yourself!
Your start time will be determined entirely by the type of session, and the location. Studio sessions are booked from 9am-5pm on weekdays. On-location sessions (taking place off site), can begin any time of day, depending on the location, light, and your schedule.

All of our photographers work in our studio and are trained by our Creative Director. But what does that really mean for our clients? Before you sign the contract, you will be paired with a specific photographer so you have the opportunity to develop an amazing working relationship prior to your session day.
You can expect to receive your full gallery within two weeks of your session (though we are often faster). Once you make your selections, your Pensacola maternity photographer will perform any requested retouches and you will receive your final images about a week later (depending on whether you have any editing requests, and how extensive those requests might be). However, if you need a specific photo faster in order to meet a deadline, please let us know in advance and remind us at your session; if we are able to accommodate your request, then we absolutely will!
Photo session prices include ALL of your high-resolution, digital copies of your images from your session. An on-location portrait session typically delivers 50-80 images, depending on the scope of your session.
Yes! Your photos will be edited for color and lighting prior to you viewing them, and we will gladly do everything we can to make them “perfect” for you!
Absolutely. Your gallery will be edited for light and color, and usually need no additional retouching at all. However, we are glad to perform more extensive retouching on your final selections, upon request. Here are some examples of common retouching requests that are typically easy for us to accommodate: editing blemishes from your skin, removing strangers in the background of your photos, fixing a shirt tag that is sticking out of your collar, or making your arm appear slightly thinner. Once you make your selections, let us know if you have any requests at all, and we will be glad to do our best. Though most retouch requests can be performed relatively easily and at no additional cost, extensive retouching may incur an hourly editing fee (but we will make sure we have your approval prior to beginning any work).
Our booking process is streamlined, intuitive, and simple. Either submit our online contact form, or give us a call. We will discuss your needs, availability, and get your photography experience booked in a flash!
Yes! Once you have received your final images you will also receive a print release. Feel free to take your images and print them wherever you feel most comfortable.
We are partnered with a top-notch professional lab and would love for you to invest in a high quality print - you can even order prints and canvases directly from your final gallery! We recommend professional-quality prints for sizes 11x14 and larger.
Absolutely! Contact us and we would be glad to provide a printable gift card that you can wrap or email as you choose. Our gift card amounts are based on our session types (rather than flat dollar amounts), and begin at $125.
