Tips to prepare for glam maternity photos in Phoenix
- Know your style! This is the most important aspect to preparing for glam maternity photos in Arizona. By knowing your maternity style you know what kind of photographer you’re looking for. If you love big, frilly, sparkly maternity gowns. I am your girl. I have over 100 gowns. Ranging from big and frilly to sleek and subtle. It is important to know what dress style you want for your maternity photos. Not sure a studio maternity session is your style? We can take the glam outside!
- Book a hair and makeup artist. This is CRUCIAL for glam maternity photos. Niv had her hair and makeup done in our studio by one of our best makeup artists, Gatsby. Gatsby has been with my studio for over a decade. I cannot tell you how much better every client feels when they have their hair and makeup done. This is something that really helps with the overall feel of a glam maternity photoshoot. You can have your maternity makeup done in studio prior to your session and it can be booked directly with me!
- Jewelry is something I love to add some extra sparkle. Whether you bring your own or utilize key items we have at the studio. I believe that more is ALWAYS okay. From dangle earrings, stacked bracelets, elegant necklaces. I love the shine that jewelry creates. And not only do I love jewelry. I love body shimmer as well! I have a variety of body shimmer available for your session.
- Shoes are a great way to top off a beautiful glam look for your glam maternity photos in Arizona. I love a good stiletto or wedge heel to complete a look. In my maternity photography studio I have a collection of shoes to finish your look. If heels aren’t your thing, that is okay too! Going barefoot is a beautiful option too. Another fun option is boots! You can pair a beautiful gown with a pair of fun boots to create a look that is unique to you.
- Trust us – and yourself. At the start of every session I always ask if you have a side of your face you prefer. Practice poses in the mirror. When in doubt, trust the way we pose you. I know that it may seem and feel super awkward, however I promise you I always want you to look your best. I always recommend taking a look at past blogs
What to wear to a glamour maternity session
What to wear for your glam maternity photos in Phoenix can be stressful. Niv chose our biggest, most luxurious gown from our collection. This dress is AMAZING and I just know that every mama feels so good in it. I even wore it for my own maternity photos!
Dad chose to wear a black on black outfit with white sneakers. This is a great look because it allows the focus to be on mom for her maternity session.
When to book your studio maternity session
If I could choose the perfect timeframe for your maternity session it would be 28-33 weeks in your pregnancy. This gives you a perfect bump and you aren’t as swollen or as tired as you will be coming weeks. If you are past that, I am always happy to chat and see if we have availability for your maternity session!
