Keyianna is a planner, and scheduled her maternity session early in her second trimester to ensure she would be able to get on our calendar. We had a few rescheduling hiccups happen with her husband’s unpredictable work schedule and pouring rain on their original date but we DID make it happen! She initially thought she wanted the gardens location but then changed to the park.
When Keyianna came in to the studio for her maternity fitting, she let me know that she wanted to wear a dress of her own for one of her outfits. Clients are welcome to wear whatever they like! If you prefer to dress yourself entirely, you can definitely do that The wardrobe is simply available to clients who wish to utilize it and it is not required! I actually love deep and rich colors - but the color needs to be chosen carefully and with thought to avoid color casting or clashing. We provide an easy to follow studio style guide to our booked clients and can provide input on choices via email or an in studio consult. Believe me, I know that trying to decide what to wear for photographs can be a stressful experience - we are here to help make it as easy as possible!
The day of their session was a bit chilly outside, but not too bad - and the light was absolutely gorgeous! She was all ready to go as she was dressed in her own dress for the first portion so we got started as soon as we arrived. Randy let me know that he wasn’t really sure what to do, and I reassured him that I’d help him out. I’m great with working with partners - I’ve found they like exact and specific directions, and I’ll step in and gently adjust them as well. We aren’t going to drag your maternity session out for two hours because it’s absolutely not necessary. I work quickly and efficiently, while still giving you time to enjoy the process. We’ll have a lot of fun together, I promise!
After finished with the first outfit’s images, Keyianna changed into the second dress - a blush pink empire waisted dress from the wardrobe. She looked absolutely gorgeous in it, and it draped her belly so beautifully. By this point in our session, Keyianna and Randy were comfortable in front of the camera and knew how to snuggle up and what to do, so it was a breeze. Some of my favorite images ever take with light and palpable emotion are in their gallery! My goal is to always create at least a few images on the artistic side rather than having a gallery strictly full of portraits. I want these images to take the viewer back to that time and feel those feelings of love and anticipation for their baby all over again!
Enjoy some of my favorite images from their gallery! I’m looking forward to sharing some images from their baby boy’s six month milestone session on the blog in the coming weeks!
