Maternity shoot

I am 34 weeks and we did our Materntiy Shoot yesterday!

So for us we were always going to do it ourselves. Like for a half a day before COVID19 I thought about a professional but frankly in my area all the photographers charge at rates that are too much for me!

But we are lucky cause we do have a nicer camera (nothing crazy) and a tripod and were able to go to a beautiful botanical gardens within half an hour of us. And my husband was great enough to put up with 3.5 hours of photos and a dress change, and over 100 photos taken (some even had him in it 😂)

So I encourage all of you to do your own photos if you cant have a shoot. Even if its just with your phone. Put something flattering on, do your face and hair how you like, and biggest tip, go out during the day where there is good lighting! Aka early morning or evening time (1/2 ish hours before sunset). Good lighting is frankly the biggest thing that will make your photos turn out well! And take a lot, a few will end up really nice!
