Columbia SC Photographer | Magazine Style Maternity Portraits

You are radiant and glowing with new life inside of you. Choose a portrait photographer that knows how to bring that forward and make you look your absolute best.

You have heard the expression, “If what you’re doing isn’t working, try something different.” Well, I’d like to think I live my life that way and run my portrait business in the same fashion. I always have people ask for specific poses but sometimes they do not work for specific body types. We attempt those poses but I like to tweak and make minor adjustments as I see fit . This gives us that perfect shot. My goal is always to pose for body type. However, when we are carrying a tiny human inside of us our bodies change… ALOT. This causes me to think outside the box when posing mommas. I have heard all the stories and how you feel like you are the size of a small barn. I have been there THREE TIMES and I am very short so posing can seem problematic. The wonderful thing is no matter how big you FEEL, that is NOT how you look. With a little knowledge on posing, we can take that bump and make you own it. You need to feel beautiful, confident, strong, and powerful. Heck, you are creating a child, that’s power.

Remember, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. End of story.

The Experience you get here: Once you come in for your services, you will relax and decompress as you start to feel more confident. You’ll have some snacks and non-alcoholic champagne. Once we are finished with your hair and makeup, it’s enough of the relaxation and time to get down to business. I will guide you into poses that help you feel comfortable with your body and accentuate the areas that need it while minimizing the ones that don’t. The lighting also plays a huge part here, let’s not kid ourselves. It takes knowledge of light placement and all the technical stuff in order to achieve the look you want. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes before and after your session to insure the quality of the images you see at your reveal appointment.

If you have tried getting a photo of yourself and it is just isn’t cutting it, do something different. Leave it to the professional. Call me and let’s get your session planned. We will create a day all about you.
