Maternity

Pregnancy is proof that love before first sight does exist.

 

My favorite Pregnancy story...

Is EVERY pregnancy story. Becoming pregnant is always as unique as the Love it grows from. Each journey is special, and more often then not a complete surprise.


Whether it is your first child, a rainbow baby or you have decided it will be your last, it is always beautiful. Being able to freeze a moment during this special time, which you can share and hold onto as memories, is an honor I will always cherish.

Maternity Session: Style Guide

Outfit Recommendations

First and foremost make sure you are wearing a dress or outfit that will give you the most flattering silhouette for your maternity photos.


Here are some helpful things to look for:

-        A dress/top that is tight on the top (meaning it is tight above your belly.)

-        A dress/skirt that flares out from the top of your belly down. (The added ability for movement gives you some sway and play in your images)

-        Length should be to the knees or longer. (Just be sure it is not so long you are goin to potentially trip)


o   Only exception is for indoor studio sessions where you are stationary for most of the time and length allows for dramatic imagery


When I mention these as recommendations, I am referring to your main dress. You always have the opportunity to bring  another outfit  that is different or in an entirely different direction. However, for the main portion of the  session this is what your aim should be.

Fabrics & Textures

Do’s

Solid colors

  • Added texture such as lace and crepe fabrics

Patterns



Exceptions

  • Tiny patterns
  • Overly busy (distracting)

Don'ts

Stiff cotton

Super stretchy and thin fabric

  • Although it can accentuate the bump it will also show undergarment lines very easily.
