MAKEup and hair

I strongly recommend using a professional makeup artist.

Try not to wear tight underwear and clothing on the day of the session to prevent marks on your skin.

Get a manicure and a pedicure a day or two in advance.

Beige or light pink will look great and complement any look.

Step 05

 

PARTNERS WARDROBE


It is very important that your partner feels comfortable. Do not force him to wear something that he is uncomfortable with and dislikes, or to change clothes many times. 


1. For your look in a formal dress — a classic: a shirt and dark trousers. Jacket, tie, bow tie — optional. Classic boots.  


2. If you have casual clothes — jeans, T-shirts, sweaters — choose the same for your husband:  — white, grey or black T-shirts and polos  without bright prints and logos  — light colored shirts as white, light blue, light pink, grey — blue or black jeans  — trousers of a natural shade  such as gray, brown, mustard, beige  — light sweaters — leather or denim jacket, if you have the same. 


3. If you want a photo in underwear with your partner, then it is best for him to leave only jeans.

 

It should not be that the husband is fully clothed, and you are practically undressed. Unless it’s a special idea. 

FAQ

DO I HAVE TO BE NUDE?

Not at all. All of my maternity sessions are customized and tailored to the needs of each client. Some clients prefer clean and simple artistic nude photographs and wraps, while others prefer to be fully clothed.

EXTRA WEIGHT AND SKIN IMPERFECTIONS

My goal is for you to feel the most beautiful you’ve ever felt in your life. That is why you don’t have to worry about any of those things. Professional photo retouching is included in your session. I specialize in the most comprehensive and detailed editing, and while I focus on creating a natural look I will edit your photos to your liking.

FAQ

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A PREGNANCY PHOTO SHOOT?

The best time for a maternity session is between 28 — 34 weeks of pregnancy. The right time is different for every woman and I recommend not to wait for too long because you will never know when the baby will actually come.
