Your Pre-shoot guide
Hello, and thanks for booking me to create beautiful photos and memories of your pregnancy.
I’m sure you might have a few questions about your photoshoot, so here I’ll try to answer them.
I’m all about giving you and your family memories to cherish forever.
A maternity photoshoot should be a fun experience with the reward of beautiful photos to remember this special time and share with your family and that’s what I’m here to give you.
All about your photoshoot
What should we wear?
This is probably the question I get asked the most.
Something you feel comfortable in is always good, if you feel comfortable, you will look more relaxed in your photos.
Light colours are best, so really do try to avoid dark clothes or with bright/bold patterns. We want the focus to be on you and not you clothes.
Neutral tones work well, whites, creams, beige and pastel colours like pale pink or blue.
For yourself and depending on your personal style, either a long floaty dress or a dress that pulls in tight and shows off your bump will work well.
Where will my photoshoot take place?
We will have discussed the exact location when booking your photoshoot.
I love to photograph maternity sessions in the great outdoors, making use of flowers, fields and woodland if possible.
Please do let me know how you are feeling as it may involve a little walking, but I don’t want to push you further than you are comfortable.
How long will our photoshoot take?
Your photoshoot will take from 1 – 1.5 hours.
I don’t want to rush you, so allow for 2 hours, but we’re likely to finish sooner if you’re a superstar model! 🙂
Do you photograph the whole family?
Of course!
While your photoshoot is mainly about you and your “bump” it’s lovely to photograph you with your partner and also with your children if you already have them.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the photoshoot?
It’s nice for you to have done your hair and make-up before your photoshoot.
I like to photograph your hands on your bump, so if you paint your nails, make sure they are freshly painted.
