When Ashley contacted me to schedule her maternity session in the studio, she let me know she was including her niece. I let her know I had lots of dress options for them both, and we scheduled their fitting to take place two weeks before their session. The fitting was lots of fun, and Ashley was a bit overwhelmed by all of the choices! She fell in love with two of the dresses and her niece absolutely loved one of the little girl dresses in our wardrobe too which was a perfect complement to both of the dresses that Ashley had choices. Her niece saw one of the flower crowns we keep in the studio and eagerly asked if she could wear it. The answer was, "Yes, of course!" We also talked about what her husband should wear, and I gave her specific examples and color palette ideas. Husbands can always bring multiple options from their closet and I'll help choose the best one the day of the session.
On the day of the session, Ashley drove an hour from Cumming, Georgia and arrived with her husband and niece and we got started. Most of my clients are a bit nervous when we first begin shooting, and are worried they won't know what to do or will somehow mess things up. This doesn't need to be a concern of yours! It's my job to take care of things for you, and I will guide you the entire time as needed. Come in and plan to relax and have FUN! Your maternity session should be one of the happiest and best memories of your pregnancy, and even though you may not feel this way: you are beautiful. Trust me!
These are a few of my favorite images from Ashley's session!
