YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A MODEL TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT, BUT YOU CAN HAVE GREAT PICTURES.
Hi, I’m Susan and I have trained with some of the best in Maternity, Beauty and Boudoir Photography in the UK. I’ve also subscribed to training that focuses on posing women, by some of the best photographers in the US. You do not need to have any modelling skills to do this photoshoot – I’ve got you!
This photoshoot isn’t just about the gorgeous maternity photographs you’ll have at the end, but about your experience too. The main aim of the photoshoot is to make you feel like a queen! But making you feel great and confident starts as soon as you get in touch.
Most ladies who come in to my studio, want this and know it’s a great thing to celebrate their body, but they are still nervous as hell. Well, it’s my job to put you at ease and this is how I do it.
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A MODEL TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT, I’LL PREP YOU FOR THE DAY.
When it comes to prepping for your photoshoot, I do provide you with a guide that demonstrates which outfits are available in the client wardrobe and what you can do to make get your skin photoshoot ready. And because we don’t have a photoshoot every day, it’s a good excuse to get pampered in the week leading up to your appointment with a mani-pedi or a fresh (but not a drastically changed) haircut.
What to wear, the colours you love, the pictures you adore, will all be discussed at your pre-shoot consultation.
PROFESSIONAL HAIR & MAKE-UP ARTIST
This is an add on charge to the Mini Maternity photoshoot but is included in The Complete Radiance Maternity Photoshoot Experience.
Booking a Make-Up Artist can take some of the stress out of the prep and give you some time to relax and be pampered, before going in front of the camera.
You can feel like a model, and decide how you look. The hair and make-up artist will consult with you to determine how you want your make-up done for the session. So get that Pinterest Board set up and start pinning, whether it’s wing tip eyeliner or shimmering pink lips, we’ve got you covered.
** Hair & Make-up add on when booking the Mini, but can be added later if you have already booked. Just give me enough time to secure one of the Artists I love!
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A MODEL TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT – I WILL DIRECT YOU.
I will guide you through the poses, telling you how to stand, where to put your hands, which direction to look, and even how to breathe! When posing, you don’t always have to be looking at the camera either. One of my most popular images is mama, eyes down, adoring that gorgeous baby bump. My training also extends to good lighting, and even those not well versed in an Instagrammer’s ring light will know that good lighting can enhance our beauty too.
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A MODEL TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT, BUT YOU CAN BE PROFESSIONALLY EDITED.
I like a real woman and skin textures, but most of us can do with a subtle amount of skin smoothing. That’s because these super-duper high-resolution cameras and my fancy lens, see more than our eyes actually do, and that seems a little unfair. So, I use my extensive Photoshop skills to level the playing field – and it’s handy for getting rid of those temporary blemishes and spots.
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A MODEL TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT, BUT YOU CAN FEEL LIKE ONE FOR A DAY.
Not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera. I should know, I hid behind it for years!
We owe this to the generations that come after us, to show them how we valued ourselves.
But when we push past the insecurities and think about getting something to value for a long time, your pictures become filled with memories of your amazing maternity photoshoot experience, as well as a celebration of your body. And it’s a worthy celebration!
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT
I think it’s always a good idea not to be rushing back to work after your photoshoot. If you’ve made yourself up, and pampered yourself in preparation, then had an amazing spirit lifting time during your photoshoot, then you should be off out for a nice lunch with your partner or friends to make the most of this occasion of celebrating your body.
