FAQ
When is the best time to schedule my maternity session?
Maternity sessions can take place at any stage of pregnancy, but the sweet spot is between 28-33 weeks—your bump will be beautifully round, and you’ll still feel comfortable moving around. However, every pregnancy is unique, so let’s choose a time that feels right for you!
What is your availability?
Maternity sessions can be scheduled Monday through Friday, around golden hour (1.5 hours before sunset) for outdoor sessions or early afternoon for studio sessions.
What is your travel fee?
While I am happy to travel, I do charge an additional $50 travel fee for all locations further than 25 miles from 08054.
How many photos do I get?
You will receive AT LEAST 30+ fully edited, high-resolution digital images, however most final galleries have much more than that and include black & white copies as well.
Do you offer proofing galleries or will I get to see all of the photos from my session before you edit them?
No, I do not offer any proofing galleries or raw photos. I personally select and edit all of the best images from your session–no having to look through proofing galleries or choose favorites. You will receive everything that I edit, with no limit on your final gallery and no additional charges for more photos.
Do you offer luxury studio setups? What is your studio like?
Studio sessions are photographed using natural light in a clean, modern space. I don’t offer dramatic, high-production luxury setups or heavily styled studio scenes—my approach is more natural, editorial, and true to my signature style. The studio features a modern, minimal aesthetic with several versatile spaces, including curtains, a couch, chairs, and open areas that allow us to create a variety of looks.
Do you have a client closet or provide any outfits or dresses?
While I don’t have a client closet or provide any clothes for your session, I offer personalized style recommendations based on your vibe as well as a detailed guide to help you find the perfect outfit and coordinate looks with your partner.
How many looks do you recommend?
Outfit changes are welcome! I recommend two looks for my maternity sessions–usually one look with your belly out if this is something you're comfortable with. For studio sessions, we have more flexibility for more than two looks if desired.
Do you provide hair and makeup services?
No, while hair and makeup is not included in your session, I do have a few vendors I can recommend who will come to your home and I will help coordinate these services if desired!
Do you offer prints or heirloom albums?
I provide digital-only delivery and do not offer physical prints or albums, but your high-resolution digital images will be print-ready and easy to print using my recommended professional printing services.
Do you offer bundle pricing for multiple sessions or a returning client discount?
Yes! When you book a maternity-related session, you’ll receive 20% off your next maternity session. This applies to pregnancy announcements, gender reveals, maternity sessions, and baby showers, making it easy to document more than one moment during this season.
How would you describe your editing style?
My signature style is timeless with a modern touch. I keep my colors true to life and fine-tune my edits to be clean, light-filled, and perfectly balanced, ensuring that your photos stand out without ever looking overprocessed.
I’ve never done a professional photoshoot before—what if I’m awkward?
First of all, there is no such thing as awkward around me! But that’s why I keep things laid-back, fun, and totally stress-free. I’ll guide you every step of the way, giving you easy prompts and natural poses so you’ll feel comfortable and look amazing.
"AMANDA IS THE BEST!!! SHE WAS SO PERSONABLE, FLEXIBLE AND PROFESSIONAL. SHE PHOTOGRAPHED MY MATERNITY SESSION BEAUTIFULLY- HER PHOTOS HONESTLY TOOK MY BREATH AWAY. MY HUSBAND AND I FELT SO COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF HER CAMERA. I CAN'T RECOMMEND AMANDA ENOUGH!!!"

Hi, I'm Amanda Zegel
 
NJ Maternity Photographer
Based in South Jersey, I photograph maternity sessions throughout New Jersey, the Jersey Shore, Philadelphia, and beyond for expecting couples. Whether outdoors, in-home, or in a modern studio setting, my goal is to create an experience you’ll love just as much as the photos themselves.
why Couples love working with me
With so many photographers out there, you deserve to feel 100% confident that your memories are in the right hands. When you choose me, the decision feels easy, and you can feel confident knowing you’ll walk away with photos you’ll love forever.
I care deeply about your experience
This work means everything to me and I care deeply about creating the best experience possible. I approach every session with the same care and intention I would my own—not just as your photographer, but as someone genuinely invested in your joy.
I make you look and feel your best
Do you crave photos that look natural with none of the awkwardness? Then we're a perfect fit! I make posing easy. With gentle direction, I’ll guide you into the best light & angles so you’ll feel like a natural, look amazing and end up with images you’ll love forever—photos that feel like you, only on your very best day.
My photos stand out from the rest
With a signature style that’s both modern & timeless, I use true-to-color, light-filled imagery and fine-tuned editing, perfecting every photo—so you receive only the best images to love forever.

I have a secret superpower
Fun fact: Before photography, I was a speech therapist. Building trust and connection comes naturally to me, and helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera is my superpower. My presence is laid-back and encouraging, creating a space where you can simply be yourself, enjoy the experience and look incredible in the process.
