Being pregnant is beautiful! Those moments before your little one arrives is a cherished time. I recommend doing your session around 30 – 35 weeks pregnant.
Maxi dresses are great! They focus on your beautiful baby bump while smoothing out other areas. You’re welcomed to bring two outfits. This adds extra variety and more options for photos you’ll love. Solid colors photograph best.
Wearing a tight, fitted maternity dress that shows off all your beautiful curves looks absolutely stunning. Flowy dresses are also popular and feel a little less revealing. Both make stunning photos! Maybe bring one of each.
This is your chance to dress it up! Dresses and skirts really flatter the female body, especially on camera. They bring extra movement to the photos, especially when juxtaposed with nature, like flower fields, oak groves, or the beach.
If you have smaller children, I’ll likely have you sitting or crouching on the ground to interact up-close with them. Cute, shorter cocktail-length dresses photograph beautifully, but if you have little ones in your photos, a floor-length dress or skirt, or perhaps a cute midi-skirt, will make moving around with your kids much easier, and look great on camera, too.
The First Look is so special. 💕 It’s a time set aside, before the ceremony, for just the bride and groom to see each other and have a moment before they go into the rest of their day together.
