I tried my hand at some DIY maternity photos and it was a semi-success! I only say semi because a photographer working with a tripod and remote just can’t produce the same work as a photographer free to interact with and react to her subjects. Overall though, I’m pleased with the finished photos! I just wanted a handful of print-worthy photos to hang with our engagement and wedding ones. That is, whenever I get around to actually printing any of those…
We used the vein of granite by my parents’ property as the backdrop and the blanket you see in a couple of shots is a family heirloom on my dad’s side. This Georgia December has been particularly warm so we didn’t have to bundle up as I had feared. We had a fun afternoon joking around as we ran back and forth from the camera, racing against a dying battery (someone please come find my charger before I get hysterical). My Canon was a trooper and held on until I attempted to look through the photos at the very end – win!
If anyone has discovered the secret to keeping pregnant hair volume post partum then I’m allllll ears.
These are PERFECT!! So obsessed with the color and the light. Great job. Can’t wait to meet that baby!
Thank youuuu! I can’t wait either (;
I love the one where you’re wrapped in the quilt together. These will be treasured photos! And about the hair… be prepared for it to fall out in large handfuls a month or two after the birth. I freaked out when that happened because I didn’t know it would happen! I thought I was going bald… :) At that point, treat yourself to a trim with a good stylist. It’ll make you feel better.
I’m so sorry I just now saw your comment! Thank you so much. I fully intend on that salon visit to perk me up after crying over the loss of my locks haha
