Frequently Asked Questions

What our clients usually want to know:

How far in advance should we book our session?

We recommend booking your maternity session during your second trimester to ensure availability. Newborn sessions are typically reserved before your baby arrives so we can plan around your due date.

When should I schedule my maternity session?

Most maternity sessions take place between 28 and 34 weeks. This timing allows for a beautifully defined baby bump while still ensuring comfort.

When should newborn photos be taken?

Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first three weeks after birth. This window allows us to capture those sleepy, curled-up poses.

Where do sessions take place?

We offer both studio and outdoor maternity sessions, along with studio newborn sessions designed for comfort, safety, and calm lighting. In home newborn sessions are a popular choice in keeping the session baby-led.

Can parents and siblings be included?

Absolutely. Family connection is a core part of our maternity and newborn sessions.

What should we wear for our maternity or newborn session?

We recommend soft, neutral tones and timeless pieces that photograph beautifully and keep the focus on connection and emotion. Flowing dresses, textured fabrics, and simple, classic outfits work wonderfully.

Shannon Stephenson


Kristina and her team are so thoughtful and intentional. They worked to ensure our vision was met and provided their expertise when I needed it. Kristina has always worked well with my young kids and their personalities. I LOVE that she is always up for including our dog in our sessions, he even got to be a part of our wedding photos. I would recommend K Herman Photography repeatedly. We look forward to working with her again, capturing more of our family especially as our kids grow

Amanda Lipps


Kristina has been taking my family’s photos for 2 years now, a tradition I desperately wish I started with my firstborn baby. However, having Kristina now with my 3rd and 4th kids have been incredible. Her and her team are extremely professional and friendly, responds quickly and always super accommodating when the schedule allows. I can’t wait to continue the tradition of getting our family pictures with her for years to come. It’s my favorite gift to myself and the pictures she provides are worth every penny!!!

Carly Metzger


Kristina is so easy to work with! I am so thankful for the newborn pictures she took of my daughter. The session was so easy and natural. Kristina is so friendly and so talented working with newborns. I will cherish these pictures for many years to come! I highly recommend booking with Kristina for newborn and family pictures!

Amanda Perry


Kristina is such an amazing photographer. Her ability to make you feel comfortable while capture the perfect moment is unmatched. I’ve booked with her for seven sessions (birthday, family, friends shoots) and each time I absolutely love the photos. Turnaround for the photos is great along with the communication up to and during the sessions. I cannot recommend her enough. Looking forward to rebooking!
