A woman’s pregnancy is a whirlwind of emotion and excitement, every story is different. You are growing a new life and it is my job to help you tell your story and look amazing doing it! I love to celebrate a pregnant woman’s body and really show off your beautiful bump! My goal is to create art that will celebrate this incredible milestone in your life. Your session is designed & styled with your comfort level & modesty in mind. Of course I love to create a safe space for you to celebrate your body in all its glory and that is however you feel comfortable.
Beauty – 4 top tips
- Avoid tight underwear and clothing on the day of the session to prevent marks on your skin
- If you are not having your hair and make up included – Prepare your hair and make up before you get to the studio – it’s a good idea to bring your make up bag and hairbrush for touch ups.
- If doing yourself, I recommend applying slightly more make-up than you would usually wear, accented cheek bones and plenty of mascara.
- Hair down always looks beautiful. If you can, soft natural curls look incredible but ensure you feel happy and comfortable.
Clothing – What to bring
- Bring a few underwear sets – black and white are always classic. Sports Bras/Crop tops are great too
- Jeans – just your usual pair of pre-pregnancy jeans (obviously they won’t be doing up) but open top really focuses on the beautiful growing bump
- A white oversized shirt that covers your bum
- If you are bringing an outfit – anything long and flowy but figure hugging around the tummy is great
- For male partners – white/black shirt (or no shirt!) and beige chinos or jeans – avoid any busy patterns, logos
3 things to remember
- Bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Your relationship with your body changes in pregnancy and as beautiful as it is, it’s not always easy to accept. It may possibly be the most vulnerable you’ve ever felt in your body so you must be kind to yourself. I will ensure you are comfortable in every way – physically and emotionally. You do not need to worry.
- I am here purely to make this a positive experience for you and give you what you want. So we will discuss beforehand what you are looking to get out of our session. Styles, poses, emotions and connections – we can work together from start to finish. Unless you want me to fully take the lead then I can! It’s your choice.
- You won’t look back in years to come and wish you’d NOT had the pictures done. Time goes so quickly and with each new phase of life, the last one disappears further into the past. We forget. So having your maternity photos done and feeling beautiful won’t be something you regret.
