Becoming a mother is an incredible chapter of life. As your body grows and changes, you experience the joy of forming life in your womb. You’re entering a new domain, a new territory; you’re adding a new life to this world.
Of course, this beautiful experience is best enjoyed when documented. Pictures don’t just hold visuals; they have raw emotions and memories as well – they hold stories. Every pregnancy unfolds a new story, and this is what I love to capture through the lens of my camera.
I give you what many other Asheville maternity photographers fail to provide. I give you a story, your maternity story. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville offers breathtaking views and ethereal backgrounds to bring out the beauty of your growing family.
As a dedicated maternity photographer, I take pride in helping families get comfortable in their skin and surroundings. You can book a shoot with me at any location in the greater Asheville area. I guide and support you all through the process.
This allows me to offer you something bigger and better than the average photographs. It allows me to give you a family heirloom that will be cherished for years.
A Perfectly Coordinated and Executed Maternity Photo Shoot!
There’s so much that goes into a maternity photo shoot:
- It’s an intimate affair between the camera and your happy baby bump.
- I allow you and yours to shine through the eye of my camera.
- With perfectly coordinated shoots, you get to create a family heirloom that puts a smile on your face every single time!
I follow a multi-faceted approach. I will help you with the following:
- Styling
- Location
- Personality
This approach allows me to connect with you and your family more deeply than any other Asheville maternity photographer. I start by understanding all the things that bring you comfort. This helps me eliminate any hindrances or hesitations when we begin to shoot.
My topmost priority will always be you. This pushes me to go above traditional photography practices and offer personalization like no other.
My Maternity Photo Shoot Approach:
Let me walk you through my maternity photo shoot approach.
Once you have booked a session, we will connect via Zoom. This zoom session is our first point of contact, and I ensure to note as many details as possible. Next, I will ask you questions to help us make this shoot memorable.
Subsequently, I learn and understand your expectations and needs. I advise my clients to ask as many questions as they like. I want you to be mentally and emotionally prepared for what’s in store.
Additionally, we decide on the color palette and tones. This enables me to create unique portraits that are flawless down to the skin tones.
As a bonus, I bring a gorgeous, colorful wardrobe of 50+ custom dresses. You can bring your clothes for the shoot or use my wardrobe. It is my advice that you consider getting your hair done professionally. You don’t have to go overboard, but a lovely hairstyle is always welcomed.
Once we have established a good understanding, I will help you decide what location works best for you.
The ideal time for a maternity photo shoot is 30-34 weeks, when your baby bump is most visible and it’s easier for you to shoot. I offer you maternity photo shoots in Asheville and surrounding areas within the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Other locations I cover include Max Patch, Bear Wallow, Craggy Gardens, Black Balsam Knob, and Triple Falls. Many of these locations have a slight hike. However, I ensure that it’s never a strenuous hike or an area that’s inaccessible to you.
Lastly, we work on the photography poses. My greatest achievement is bringing out your personality and capturing your growing body’s beauty. Each picture encapsulates the story you want to share with the rest of the world. I also guide your partner all through the shoot, so they add that extra charm.
Not many maternity photographers follow the same approach or are willing to give the time and energy I offer you and yours. Ultimately, we achieve a milestone by capturing your motherhood journey.
So let’s document your growing baby bump and get the perfect family heirloom!
