- The best time to do the photo shoot is between your 34th week of pregnancy to your 38th week but I've found that the
34th week is best.
- Be sure that the selected time is when you will be relaxed and rested.
- Eat a good meal before the photo shoot.
- Have your change of clothes ironed and ready to go. Clothing selections will be discussed prior to the photo shoot.
- Prior to the shoot, be careful not to wear any elastic over any area of your body that will be photographed. e.g. waist-
bands, bra straps(if you intend to do nude or partially nude), sock marks...
- Make sure that you have the appropriate make-up and hair products required for photo shoot.
- -Regular make-up application is fine.
-If you do not wear any make-up at all, I recommend using at least some powder to reduce shine and some mascara to
enhance the eyes.
-No shimmer/sparkle make-up or cream.
- If you would like hand shots, make sure that your nails and jewellery are to your satisfaction. (and don't forget about your
spouses hands)
- -If desired, you might want to use artificial nails using a small dab of glue for easy removal after the shoot.
-wrist-watches are not recommended
- Don't schedule too many appointments on the day of the shoot so you can relax and enjoy the experience!
- If you have specific ideas that might involve props please let me know ahead of time so we can both be prepared at the
time of the shoot.
- If you would like your spouse, children or pets in the photos, make sure that they are also prepared with regards to open
schedules, meals, clothing preparation, grooming...
- Smiling - if you are not one of those people blessed with a natural smile, try this technique: Relax your jaw, unclench your
molars until they are a couple of millimeters apart when you smile. Smile with your eyes too and let them crinkle up a little
bit.
