It’s lovely to e-meet you — and congratulations on your pregnancy! You look wonderful.
I’d love to explore maternity booking opportunities with you through Expecting Models, spanning print, advertising, social, digital, UGC, and brand collaborations.
I’ve cc’d Mike Jaye, who manages our onboarding process and will be your point of contact for next steps.
I’m also sharing a brief overview of our agency below for context.
Looking forward to connecting!!
BRIEF:
Expecting Models works with clients nationwide & exclusively sign our talent.
We have been in business for over 25 years, partnering with top leaders in the maternity space. We work with clients nationwide all of which in a very fast pace.
Our journey navigating maternity bookings goes so fast & we must move faster.
We’re a boutique agency exclusively focused on maternity bookings—and beyond, should you choose to work with your baby after birth. That decision is entirely up to you once you’ve delivered.
You can browse a sampling of our work on Instagram, and you’re welcome to Google “Expecting Models” for a broader view of what we’ve accomplished over the years.
Some clients cover travel expenses, while others offer opportunities in different states where you may self-report as a local hire—naturally at a proper and competitive rate.
Our bookings span major print campaigns, digital media, e-commerce, runway, and commercial work.
We also occasionally handle theatrical projects.
Several clients collaborate through our UGC department, while others integrate social media into their larger brand initiatives.
Expecting Models would represent you for both, as many of our maternity and postpartum clients work directly with us on these types of projects.
Please be sure to follow us on all social media, and once officially signed, kindly list Expecting Models in your bio for maternity & beyond representation.
I look forward to learning more about you!
With Gratitude,
Liza Elliott Ramirez

What’s Needed
DIGITALS & SLATE VIDEO GUIDELINES
Wardrobe
• 2-piece swimsuit, or sports bra & jeans
• Heels please (sneakers optional if choosing activewear)
Backdrop
• Solid white wall or seamless backdrop
• Avoid outlets, clutter, or distracting backgrounds
Required Poses (all full-body, head-to-toe):
1. Face front
2. ¾ right side
3. ¾ left side
4. Full back view
👉 Ensure each photo is full length.
Styling & Energy
(Reference the Pro-Bump & Style deck below)
• Keep makeup light and natural
• Neat, polished hair—soft waves work beautifully
• Heels strongly encouraged for a high-fashion feel
• Think editorial:
• Play with movement
• Use a fan for hair flow, if available
• Choose poses that feel chic and modern
Important:
• Have fun—let your personality shine!
• Early months: push your bump out so it’s visible
• Fourth trimester: if a swimsuit feels uncomfortable, wear a white t-shirt and jeans (leave button/zipper open)
• Skip the “hands on belly”—we want chic, confident, modern maternity.
Emergency Digitals
If timing is tight and I request quick selfies:
• Please show your bump clearly
• Capture as much of your figure as possible & send them right away.
• Include full-length and closer shots
• Max 10 images
• Shoot hi-resolution
Slate Video
(Example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8jjmwz9ww238kvn/11.05.2021.mov?dl=0)
Your video should be no longer than 30 seconds.
Use the same wardrobe, backdrop, grooming, and poses as your standard digitals.
Directions:
• Look directly into the camera
• Slate:
• Your name
• “Agency: Expecting Models”
• Your due date
• Where you live
After your slate, show some movement and enjoy yourself.
We love full-blown editorial maternity—so let it shine!
Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to reviewing your materials.
HAVE FUN AND SHOW PERSONALITY — NOTHING IS EVER TOO MUCH FOR THIS AGENCY!
WE LOVE BLOSSOMING, HAPPY, SEXY WOMEN WHO LOVE TO STRIKE A POSE.
SHINE AWAY!!
With Gratitude,
Liza Elliott Ramirez
