RainuMai and her Maternity session

Rainumai came for her maternity session on this cold and grey day.

Expecting baby number 2 in January, a little girl.

She and her partner Kyle are incredibly excited to meet their new little one.

We did lots of tasteful nude portraits with my favorite kind of lighting, moody and directional.

As I’ve mentioned before, photography has a lot of technical and artistic elements that as a photographer, you have to be comfortable with. Each session needs different styling and lighting, dependent on what each client wants from the session. With my maternity portraits I use 3 different light modifiers- to shape the light-make the light how I need it to look.. :Strip box : 86 inch PLM and a beauty dish. I love knowing exactly how I want and need my images to look and how to achieve that look without too much thought. That’s where a photographer with a lot of experience is a benefit for your session.

You’ll never receive any badly lit images or unflattering poses. I pride myself with offering beautiful and timeless images with simple and fabulous lighting and styling.

Maternity portraits are a wonderful way to encapsulate the excitement of pregnancy and the hope and happiness of your growing your family. I suggest photographing a pregnancy session between 30-36 weeks pregnant. Your belly will be perfectly round and full, your energy is up, and your are glowing.

I hope you enjoy these images.
