Q&A
Why Maternity Photography?
A maternity session is so much more than just a photoshoot its a unique experience in which the mother to be feels relaxed, beautiful, pampered and empowered. You are a Super Star! Enjoy the feel of hair blowing off your face, silk fabrics caressing you baby bump and all the while having our team of artist attend to your every needs.
Ask yourself the following....Why not maternity photography? Expecting a baby is one of the most exciting times of your life. You’ve heard the heartbeat and seen the sonogram. Now record forever the fine art of pregnancy photography.
During other milestones of your life, like graduations, engagement, and wedding/marriage it's common to have professional photographs taken to commemorate the experience. It's only natural to include your maternity in pictures as well. You will never look more vibrant than when you are pregnant. The hormone changes in your body will make your complexion glow. We feel there is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman.
When to have your Maternity Photography taken?
The whole point of maternity photography is to capture the "bump" when your belly is sufficiently big enough to remember, between 28-34 weeks is perfect. Contact us before you are 30 weeks along to set up a consultation. If you are 34+ weeks, call us immediately so you don’t miss the opportunity to preserve this special time of your life. If possible we will accommodate.
What to Expect from your Maternity Photography Session?
We understand you are not a professional model and will need guidance throughout your session. That’s part of our job. We guide you with photo images and one-on-one demonstration of body posturing. Before we ever take a picture, we meet together and review your dream photo shoot. This is a very important part of our process because we want to ensure we're on the same page and can nail your favorite looks. After getting very clear as to what you are looking for during your Maternity Photo Session, we plan a date, and that's when the magic begins! On the day of your Maternity Photo Session you'll meet with Donna and the team and our process begins. We'll start you off with hair and makeup to make you feel absolutely fabulous! From there, we guide you with photo images, and one-on-one demonstration of body posturing. The more natural you look, and relaxed you are, the better the photos will turn out! Our main focus here at Bellies n Babies is to make you feel empowered, glamorous, and...
