Tracey-Ann contacted us to book a maternity session in the studio. She'd seen my work because she had worked with one of our makeup artists before and saw when I tagged her in some Instagram posts. She and her husband, Jason, came to the studio for her maternity fitting and it was such a cool experience getting to know them!
I learned that Jason works as a financial planner in a company that has a completely unique approach - designing your financial strategy around the life that you want. He was clearly passionate about his job and was so much fun to talk to. Tracey-Ann is an actress, and I'd actually seen a few of her commercials before! She was absolutely lovely and had some funny on-set stories to share.
A lot of women worry that I won't have anything in the studio wardrobe that will fit them, especially if they've experienced some growth in the bust area due to pregnancy. We have many dresses that have considerable stretch to them and have had G cups wear studio dresses before. We have a pretty wide variety of sizes from 0-14 that can all accommodate pregnant bellies. Tracey-Ann fell in love with an ivory off the shoulder gown with lace sleeves, and looked absolutely radiant in it!
On the day of their session, Jason brought a suit and a shirt with him. We discovered that the shirt had a stain on the front of it, and Tracey-Ann was dismayed. Not to worry! While Photoshop doesn't have an Oxiclean button, creative posing to hide such things will do the job. That's exactly what we did, and there was no issue. Part of my job is to handle when things don't go as planned. Trust me - newborns love to throw plenty of things my way! Over the years, I've become quite good at adapting to whatever a session might throw at me.
Here are just a few of my favorite images from their maternity session - I can't wait to see them as a family of three when they come back for a family session!
