how it works
01 Scheduling
Maternity sessions are best captured between 27-34 week to ensure that we don’t schedule too close to your due date, but that you are far enough along to have an amazingly full belly to show off! If your schedule doesn’t allow for that I will be happy to work with you on timing.
02 Consultation
All sessions are tailored specifically to you and include a pre-session consultation over Zoom where we will begin designing your dream shoot. We will discuss ideas on posing, lighting, wardrobe, and style. I will work closely with you and learn from your ideas and expectations to make sure that your vision becomes a reality.
03 Wardrobe
We've got your back! At our all-in-one photo studio, we've got a fabulous wardrobe collection for your stunning maternity and precious motherhood shoots. A beautiful collection of silk draping, form-fitting dresses, bodysuits, lace robes, maternity gowns and accessories are provided for your session at no additional cost!
04 MAKEUP & HAIR
Professional hair and makeup artistry is recommended for stunning portraits and is included in our experience. This is a complimentary service. You can sit back and relax before your session begins.
05 experience
Our sessions are styled like a fashion shoot and personalized to make you look and feel elegant and alluring. Your session is never rushed as we only book one client a day, which allows us freedom to spend the time needed to perfect each set up and help you make the most out of your shoot. Even if it is your first professional photography session, our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, beautiful, confident, and empowered. During your photo shoot, Natalia will direct you through elegant poses, focusing on angles that bring out your most beautiful self while providing a luxurious day of pampering. Throughout your photoshoot you will have the opportunity to preview your images.
06 SELECTING YOUR PORTRAITS & RETOUCHING
You don't have to wait weeks to see your photos! Ordering is done immediately after your photoshoot.
We specialize in the most comprehensive and detailed magazine-style editing. You don't have to worry about any imperfections. While we focus on creating a natural look we will edit your photos to your liking.
07 Displaying Your Art
Our packages include high resolution digital files in color & b/w, and archival fine art prints in an elegant folio box. Most of our clients will also add on a few extra products from the A La Carte menu to their Collection to make it complete. Our studio offers high quality fine art prints, tabletops, luxury photo albums, gorgeous gallery wraps and elegant wall collections (acrylic, metal) for a spectacular presentation of your most beautiful memories. You will see samples in studio.
Each client has different product needs, from albums to wall-art.
