CELEBRATE YOU ....
A Baby Bump sessions is a perfect way to celebrate you and your growing baby belly documenting the start of your incredible motherhood journey..
When To Book? These sessions are best booked around 27-34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage you will have a nice round baby bump and your mobility will be easier compared to your last couple of months. Everyone's journey is unique - don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
What Do I Wear?!?!
- Form fitting clothes will accentuate your belly, so don’t be afraid to wear them. {Stretchy fabrics that conform to your belly are a great options}
- Sticking to solids and simple prints avoids the attention going to your clothing instead of you and your beautiful belly.
- Choose something that is reflective of your personality, timeless and will show up well in photographs.
- In Studio - choosing two types of outfits will add diversity to your photos (Jeans with white top or cozy sweater / maxi dresses are amazing / tanktop with boy shorts or bodysuit / leggings with a form fitted shirt)
- Under garments Matter!!! Boy briefs work well under a maternity gown / dress. A proper fitting bra is essential as it doesn't allow for "spillage" and unwanted lines showing. {The camera picks up EVERYTHING we don't see}
- Feel free to bring a few different outfits to use throughout your session.
- Pamper yourself!! Set an appointment to get your hair done! Who doesn't love walking out of the salon feeling like a million bucks!
- Above all else - be comfortable, it will show on camera!
Elegant and glamorous baby bump photos are not for everyone. When choosing what to wear to your baby bump session, consider what you normally wear and what style best represents you. I take on a casual and relaxed feel (like jeans and a white top or cozy sweater) capturing the emotions between you and your family within my bump sessions. Simple outfits like a bodysuit or a tank top with boy shorts is also amazing for capturing that beautiful bump.
If fancy flowy gowns are your thing and you have one you are dying to have incorporated into your bump session ... that is OK!!! (Please note I do not provide maternity gowns in the studio)
