Lifestyle Session | Party of Six

I can now post this session that I've been anxious to share since the birth announcements have gone out and been delivered! I love this family. Their oldest is my son's best friend, so these kiddos know me. We had fun despite mom and dad being tired from having this new little man in the household. We also had grandma today to help out with things and be in some of the photos as well. That's what family is about - helping and being together!

I'll let the photos speak of our time together capturing their life.

I can't get over how much I LOVE these type of sessions. Unplanned. Go with the flow. Having fun. I love coming into a client's home and using their furnishings and home to tell their story. Everyone's is unique and that makes these sessions extra special.

Thank you for allowing me to capture these memories for you Ceresa Family!

What to Wear: Maternity, Spring 2014

Hi there! I have some more fashion boards for you today but this time for maternity wear. I have four different looks that would be great for a maternity photo session!

Typically, I love to do the maternity sessions between 32-36 weeks of pregnancy. Be sure to choose something that flatters your body type at this stage of pregnancy and that you're as comfortable as you can be! Yes, there are flattering clothes for your body type during this stage AND clothing that is comfortable. Trust me. :) It's all about finding the right pieces! And you don't have to spend a fortune. The looks below are all from H&M and Zappos. Very affordable pieces. The jewelry is fun as well. Your accessories will add flair, color, texture and depth to your images.

Make sure you're wearing supportive undergarments for your session. This will help you feel and look your best! Try not to wear anything constricting or tight as you'll be uncomfortable. That will make you focus on that instead of the moment we are capturing...that bundle.

Definitely make sure you're hydrated the day of the session, and if you do wear any heels or wedges, I'd highly suggest bringing them along and wearing flats to do your walking or flip flops/slip on sandals for comfort. You can slip into your "cute" shoes for the actual shots. Plus, you'll be more at ease if you're steady on your feet while walking to the desired spot for shooting. We definitely want to be safe!

Feel free to bring a long, flowing dress (LOVE these especially for outdoor nature sessions), gauze wrap for your belly, and anything else you'd like to incorporate for your look.

If you have any questions on what to wear, what to bring (baby blanket, shoes, something else special you want in your maternity photos), what other family members should wear, and more, I will help guide you through the session if you need it.

I hope you enjoy these style boards I put together. I love making them for my future clients for reference! Thanks for stopping by.
