Preparing for a maternity session
Give me an hour and I'll make the memory of early motherhood even more beautiful.
I invite you to a maternity session, both in my studio and outside. With my work I want to make you, your partner and your little one happy.
I usually take maternity photos between 6 and 8 months, when the belly is clearly defined and the mother-to-be is comfortable. Also in the 9th month it is no problem to meet. It all depends on how you feel. We usually schedule a session a month in advance. I do sessions in the studio and outside.
I have a lot of maternity styling in my studio (long elegant dresses, maternity bodies and airy fabrics). Of course, I also encourage you to bring your favorite clothes (soft colors, loose shirts, leather or denim jackets look interesting) or underwear for more sensual photos.
I propose two styles for joint photos with a partner. The first one is a looser style in a uniform black and white t-shirt in combination with jeans. The second style is more elegant and glamorous :) White shirt, jacket, pants. Colours: gray, black, navy blue. Also think about footwear, so that they match the whole outfit. I recommend simple fabrics, smooth, without patterns, inscriptions or decals, expressive checks or stripes.
A standard pregnancy session takes about 1 - 2 hours, but if you want to feel special that day and you decide to use a makeup artist who works with me, this time will be longer (standard makeup takes about 1 hour).
Make-up costs: ask my makeup artist (Makeup by Daxa) in a private message or e-mail.
What to bring
Underwear, it is important that the bra has removable straps (skin colour, white, black)
Extra accessories that you would like to use in the photos (ultrasound photo, shoes, favorite stuffed animal)
A hairbrush
Lipstick and face powder (if you don't opt ββfor professional make-up)
How do you prepare?
If you book a make-up artist, do not do make-up at home. Wash your face and apply a non-greasy moisturizer, you can apply your favorite mask the day before.
If you don't want to use the services of our makeup artist, come to the session with makeup, a little stronger than usual and style your hair, delicate waves or straight hair works well.
If you want to put your hair up during the session, you can. You can also add accessories - for example hair bands or decorative clips.
Also make sure your nails and toenails look good as we will be doing lots of close-ups of them.
Contact me a few days before the session to discuss the details.
I can't wait to get to know you and take beautiful photos of you! See you at the session.
