If you have a maternity session coming up, here’s how you can plan and make the most of your session:
- Location: Choose a picturesque outdoor location in Los Angeles that offers scenic views and captures the essence of the city. Some popular choices include the Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory, Venice Beach, or the Arts District. Consider locations with open spaces, greenery, or iconic landmarks. This session was done in a private home, which was incredible!
- Attire: Opt for elegant and glamorous outfits that make you feel beautiful and confident. Flowy maxi dresses, fitted gowns, or boho-chic ensembles are great choices. Consider pastel colors or earthy tones that complement the sunset backdrop. Don’t forget to bring a few outfit changes to add variety to your photos.
- Styling: Enhance your natural beauty with professional hair and makeup styling. Book an appointment with a makeup artist and hairstylist who specializes in maternity photoshoots. They can help you achieve a polished and glamorous look that enhances your features and makes you feel fabulous. Teri’s hair and makeup were stunning for this session and it really added so much to pull it all together.
- Props and Accessories: Consider incorporating props and accessories that symbolize your pregnancy journey. Some ideas include baby shoes, ultrasound photos, flowers, or a chalkboard sign with the baby’s due date or name. These elements can add a personal touch to your photos and make them even more meaningful.
- Timing: Schedule your session to take advantage of the beautiful Los Angeles sunset. The golden hour, which occurs approximately one hour before sunset, provides soft, warm lighting that will create a dreamy and romantic atmosphere. Coordinate with your photographer to ensure you capture the perfect light during your session.
- Poses and Interactions: Work with your photographer to plan a variety of poses that showcase your pregnancy glow and the connection between you and your partner. Capture intimate moments, gentle touches, and loving interactions. Your photographer will guide you through various poses to ensure you look natural and relaxed.
- Candid Shots: Some of the most memorable and beautiful shots often come from candid moments. Let your photographer capture genuine interactions between you and your partner, such as laughing, embracing, or sharing a tender moment. These candid shots will reflect the joy and excitement of this special time in your life.
- Embrace the Environment: Los Angeles offers a diverse range of landscapes and cityscapes. Make use of the location’s unique features, such as palm trees, city skylines, or beach views. Experiment with different angles, perspectives, and compositions to create visually striking images that highlight both your pregnancy and the stunning surroundings.
Remember to communicate your vision and preferences with your photographer, as they will help bring your ideas to life and capture the essence of your glamorous Los Angeles maternity session. Enjoy this special time and treasure the beautiful memories captured during your photoshoot!
