Traci contacted me to schedule a studio maternity session. She was expecting TWINS, and wanted to make sure she had photos to remember her pregnancy with them. I typically schedule twin moms at around 26-30 weeks since they tend to show sooner, and are less and less comfortable the further along they are. 26-30 weeks seems to be a great timeframe for a beautiful round belly and ease of physical movement. She and her husband Lee came to the studio for her maternity fitting, and she tried on several dresses. She chose a simple pleated dress and a split front chiffon one, since she knew she wanted to have some bare belly photos also. Lee and I discussed what he should wear while she was trying on dresses, and also got to know each other a bit. Dads can't always make it to the maternity fittings, but I always love it when they do. It gives us a chance to chat and makes the actual session day easy and comfortable since they've already met me and know what to expect. If your husband hates having his photo taken, I promise it will be as pain free as possible with me. Your husband won't be asked to do anything he's uncomfortable with, nor will he be forced to spend two hours having his photo taken. So far, I've gotten high fives from every dad that has worked with me and they all told their partner that I was pretty cool and I made the experience way more fun than they thought it could ever be.
On the day of their session, Traci arrived and we got right to shooting! She looked absolutely gorgeous and I LOVED the way she chose to wear her hair!
I'm such a lover of black and white images, and this session's images just look so beautiful in black and white. Clients receive both color and black and white edits of their final edited images in their gallery, but I'm choosing to share only black and white ones for this blog post.
If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Be sure to view this short 1.5 minute film to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!
