2. Choose outfits that really show off your body
Regardless of your size, shape, breast size, or the way you are carrying , choose outfits that really accentuate that bump. I do offer a client closet with some beautiful options for expecting mothers. Flowy dresses that hug your bump are ideal options for session. Stunning colors and textures make for amazing images. If you look amazing you will also feel amazing! During your consultation we can try try on some pieces or look at some online options. If you have your own dresses as well we can certainly work with that as well!
3. Love your location
Having a location you love is such a great addition to your lifestyle maternity session.
Is there a location that has meaning to you? Do you have a vision for the type of backdrop you want for your session?
I have a whole repertoire of locations for every style you may be looking for!
In home is also an amazing choice for your session! It holds such meaning and will add that extra level of emotion to your shoot.
4. (If you are able) Get your hair and makeup done
Of all the times to pamper yourself this would definitely be it! Getting your hair and makeup done professionally will give your photos that added, little umph. I don't think you need anything dramatic or heavy, but a nice, even coverage, lip gloss and curls go a long way! Natural, but glowing is the look you are going for!
I have two artists I recommend that do an amazing job!
Sarah Heacock of Salon Allure is so good at making you looking your best! Breeanna Hilsenrath is also a fabulous choice!
5. Have an open mind
Above all I want you to be comfortable and at ease during your session!
But, I also want you to trust me a little when it comes to fun and unique ideas. This is a rare time in your life and deserves to be documented as such. I often get creative ideas and visions and would love to include at least one unique image in your gallery.
So, can we have a little fun?
