Expecting
Being pregnant is one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life. Although you often hear things such as “Wow you’re glowing”, you also hear “Wow, you look exhausted!” Either way, your body is growing a tiny human inside you and you may not feel your best, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look your best!
Session Planning
Maternity pictures are typically done just a few weeks before your new bundle of joy arrives. By this time in your pregnancy, you are probably panicking about all of the last minute preparations you have to do before the birth of your baby. This maternity shoot should be all about you and taking time for yourself. Whether you are a first time mom or a mom of five, each pregnancy is special. By pampering yourself before the shoot, you will be relaxed and in the mindset of having some “me” time. One client said, “With all the hustle and bustle of getting ready for the new baby, I was looking forward to stopping and focusing on just me for a few hours. I am so glad that I took the time to get my hair and makeup done before my shoot. Looking back, these pictures remind me of how special that time was in my life.”
Getting Ready
By getting your hair and makeup done for your maternity shoot, you will feel your most confident, beautiful self. Many clients have their hair and makeup done based on the location and feel of their shoot. Some women choose to be more casual while others prefer an extravagant shoot. Either way, having that extra touch of professional hair and makeup can make a world of difference in your pictures. Choose a makeup artist who understands your style and what look you are going for. I recommend getting a personalized and professional service with Makeup by Monica or checking one of of these wonderful local salons for your hair and makeup needs: Signature Salon and Spa or Panache Hair Salon and Day Spa.
Your maternity photos are timeless, and will remind you of that exciting time many years down the road. If you are interested in a Maternity Sessions in Central New Jersey, please contact me for your no obligation consultation. I look forward to working with you and your growing family!
