Sindi contacted me in her second trimester to schedule her maternity session in the studio. She came in for a maternity fitting, and we went through the plethora of options in the studio wardrobe. Because she was expecting a little girl (check back tomorrow to meet her!), she wanted feminine and girly pieces. I loved the two options that she chose. We discussed what her husband should wear for the session that would best coordinate with the pieces she had chosen and jewelry options for her as well.
All sessions with me include a complimentary 20 minute styling appointment at the studio. Even if you decide you want to bring your own pieces, that's totally fine! You can bring pieces from your closet and I'll give you input and help coordinate a beautiful and cohesive look for all participants. If you borrow from the wardrobe, we'll chat for a bit when you arrive to ascertain your preferences and your vision. Since I shoot so many maternity sessions, I can take one look at you and know what we have that will fit you well and flatter your body type and skin tone, as well as match your personality and style preference. We have everything from simple to glam to bohemian in terms of style, and for boudoir maternity sessions, we'll use things from your own closet! Not only do the styling consultations help pull the look together, they also give us a chance to get to know each other. I promise you, you will be so much more comfortable the day of your session having already met and gotten to know me and we won't spend as much (or any!) initial time warming up and breaking the ice when you step in front of my camera. Please don't worry if we aren't able to meet before your session as I have many out of town clients travel to me for sessions, and we do their fittings right before the session takes place. I enjoy getting to know my clients and we'll chat and get to know each other and break the ice right beforehand if that's all your circumstances allow for.
The day of her session, she arrived and looked absolutely gorgeous and happy! Erroll and I chatted for a bit while she slipped into the first dress, and then we got started. The two of them were so sweet together, and we had such a good time laughing and chatting in between photographs. We finished up in about 45 minutes and then said our goodbyes.
Here are a few of my favorite images from their maternity session! Check back tomorrow to see images from their daughter's 6 month milestone session. She's a real cutie!
