Our studio works with a lot of professional photographers who choose to work with us for their maternity, newborn, and family images. I'm always honored when another professional in the industry chooses to work with me! Amanda is a wedding photographer, and such a fun personality. She's originally from New Jersey, and her best friend was visiting the weekend that she came in to try on pieces from the wardrobe so she brought her a long. We three gals had a good time chatting about motherhood, babies, and lots of other things. It felt like a girls' hangout in many ways! Amanda fell in love with two dresses that we had in the wardrobe, and her best friend approved of her choices. I always welcome husbands, mothers, sisters, best friends to attend maternity fittings as long as they are supportive and my clients want them to be there. You're under no obligation to bring anyone along if you don't want to! :)
Amanda also chose to add on hair and makeup services and worked with our lead HMUA, Margaret. She and Margaret had been in communication prior to their session about the look that Amanda wanted her to create. All of our HMUA's are wonderful at looking at what you're hoping for and then tailoring it to be the best look for you. They are all experts at professional makeup application and will work closely with you to ensure that you look and feel absolutely gorgeous.
When I arrived at the studio, I came a few minutes early so that I could chat with Josh and get to know him a bit. I find that husbands are much more comfortable in front of the camera when they are comfortable with me. I'm, very easy to get along with, and I don't ask husbands to do things like kneel and kiss the belly or place hands over the belly in the shape of a heart. I also shoot efficiently and won't keep your husband standing around for two hours while he slowly goes crazy. I'm good with the husbands and boyfriends, I promise! Even if your partner hates participating in photo sessions, he'll admit that it "wasn't so bad" when we're finished. Some even admit that they had fun.
Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite images from Amanda & Josh's studio maternity session! Check back in tomorrow to see newborn images of their adorable baby boy, Luke!
