Farah contacted the studio and asked to schedule a maternity session at the park location. She was concerned about what to wear, and very happy to hear that we had an extensive studio wardrobe available to her to borrow from! We booked her session and scheduled her for a maternity fitting at the studio.
Maternity fittings are about 20 minutes long and take place 1-2 weeks before your scheduled session. We want to make sure you don’t have a lot of growth between your fitting and your session, so that’s why we don’t schedule it any further out. When Farah arrived she let me know that she wanted her arms and chest to be covered. We have long camisoles in the studio that are perfect for chest coverage and plenty of options that have arms! She chose two gorgeous dresses to wear and loved how they draped her belly. When she was at the fitting she also asked me about our hair and makeup add on services. She had some questions about whether they would be able to work with her long hair and darker skin tone. I cannot rave about our HMUA team enough. I have personally selected and worked with each member, and they are all lovely and absolutely fantastic. I truly believe we have the best team in Atlanta! After hearing my rave reviews, she asked to add on hair and makeup services, and we set her up with Ellis!
The evening of their session I met them at the studio and we headed to the park location. It was a hot evening, but Farah toughed through it! During maternity sessions, I watch my clients carefully for signs of fatigue or discomfort. If you need a break to sit down or drink some water, we’ll take one! If I notice you becoming fatigued or overheated, I’ll call for a break whether you ask for one or not. I want you to remain as comfortable as possible during our time together! Being pregnant is not easy - I’ve been through it three times, and I remember it well!
Farah and Irfan were a little unsure of what to do when we got started. I reminded them that this was normal and gave them each direction on exactly what to do. By the time we were midway through, they had the hang of it and were interacting with each other like I wasn’t even there, which is perfect! When Farah viewed her gallery, she told me she was absolutely amazed by how beautiful she looked in the images and how happy she was that they had chosen to work with me. I love hearing these words from my clients! Be on the lookout for their daughter’s six month milestone session next month - she sure is a cutie!
Here are a few of my favorites from their maternity session!
