Sweet lovebirds, Kendra and Mac, chose three different looks for their maternity session with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography! See highlights below + tips for styling.
Howdy, friends! Today's blog post is all about how outfit changes during pregnancy portraits. For instance, clients often ask what my policy is on outfit changes; do I limit them? Are they allowed? Have no fear! While one dress is perfect for a pregnancy session, I completely acknowledge there will be parents-to-be and expecting couples who would like to showcase more than one look. I love embracing your ideas and welcome outfit changes.
A few tips on styling:
Always start with the casual look first
Let your hair and makeup artist know you will be doing more than one look
Plan for changing time so your light looks wonderful throughout each portion
Wear clothing that represents your sparkling personality
Let your photographer know which look is your favorite so we can spend time as needed
Kendra and Mac are the sweetest lovebirds! Aside from being an adorable pregnant couple, they're also baby plan membership clients at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. This in mind, I like to go above and beyond for parents who have booked not only pregnancy portraits, but also baby's first year of life. Of course, when you're a gorgeous as them any outfit looks great on you!
For our time together, we used a location in Cypress, which is in Northwest Houston. We chose a sunset appointment so Mom and Dad could have plenty of time to prepare, especially since professional hair and makeup really enhance your session plus give you a huge confidence boost.
Outfit # 1: Casual T-Shirt and Jeans
The first outfit was a casual, simple look sporting adorable custom t-shirts saying 'new mom' and 'new dad'. These are great images for your baby shower, too! Having a new baby is super exciting and it's great to see parents who are proudly showing off their pregnancy!
Outfit # 2: Cultural Reflection
The second look was still casual, and easy to change into, yet reflects this couple's culture.
Outfit # 3: Formal gown attire
Finally, the third look, seen below, is a formal and form-fitting gown which is a great addition during your pregnancy portraits! This shows your baby bump easily and truly highlights the feminine shape of an expecting mother. The warm, golden light looks fantastic behind Mom and even the wind helped us out by creating the soft, flowing hair below. Mom is truly radiant and glowing! This was my favorite look from our time together so we did lots of poses. There's a slideshow below if you're interested in seeing the full session!
As always, friends, thank you for stopping by to read about a fun topic, such as outfit changes during your maternity session! I look forward to sharing photos of their newborn portraits soon! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Warmly,
Sarah
