A peek into your timeline: Edmonton Maternity Sessions
So, your a mother to be, Congratulations! Maternity sessions are such a beautiful way to capture the glow and anticipation of this very special time in your life. If you're thinking about scheduling a maternity photoshoot in Edmonton but feeling a bit unsure about what to expect, don't worry—I've got your back. Let's talk about what you can expect during your maternity session, from start to finish.
Prepping for the Big Day
First things first, let's talk prep. Before your maternity session, we will chat about your vision for the shoot. Whether you're dreaming of a cozy indoor shoot or a YEG river valley session, we can decide the perfect location and discuss any special props or outfits you might want to include.
Timing is Everything
Timing-wise, the best time to schedule your maternity session is usually between 28 and 32 weeks into your pregnancy. This is when your bump is beautifully round and you're still feeling comfortable enough to strike some poses without feeling too tired or swollen. Of course, every pregnancy is different, so listen to your body and choose a time that feels right for you.
Strike a Pose
When the big day arrives, I will guide you through a series of poses designed to highlight your bump and capture that radiant pregnancy glow. Don't worry if you're feeling a bit awkward at first—we've all been there! I will always make sure you are comfortable with what we are doing but if you just relax, have fun,your natural beauty will shine through.
Dress to Impress
When it comes to wardrobe choices, the sky's the limit. Some moms-to-be opt for flowy dresses that accentuate their bump, while others prefer more casual looks like jeans and a cozy sweater. Whatever you choose, make sure you feel comfortable and confident—it's your time to shine, mama! I have a HUGE closet full of options for you too, we can absolutely go through different things I have so you don’t have to break the budget on a new outfit.
Bring on the Props
Props can add a fun and personal touch to your maternity session. Whether it's a pair of baby shoes, a sonogram picture, or a cute little onesie, feel free to bring along any special items that hold meaning for you and your growing family.
The Final Reveal
After the session is over, it's time to sit back and wait for the magic to happen. I will carefully select and edit the best shots from the session, transforming them into timeless keepsakes that you'll cherish for years to come. Get ready to swoon, and possibly tear up (I definitely will!) over those precious moments captured!
Remember, this is your time to celebrate and embrace the incredible journey of motherhood. So relax, have fun, and let your inner goddess shine. You've got this, mama!
