Looking for a Photoshoot Trial

Pregnant and planning a maternity/couple shoot later. Thinking of doing a short solo trial shoot first - fully paid.

Lighting (studio vs outdoor)

Posing guidance

Editing style

Questions:

Has anyone done a trial like this—worth it?

Any good maternity photographers in South Florida (Boca/Delray)

What should I watch for in the trial?

Any recommendations?
