I feel like it is such an indescribable honor when I am chosen as a Prospect KY Maternity Photographer, especially when mommies are expecting their Rainbow Baby. When Ashley contacted me about photographing her baby bump, she said she really wanted something special and out of the typical norm for her maternity images. She was expecting a Rainbow Baby and wanted to commemorate that as well.

We custom designed her entire session together and settled on a very unique and breathtaking “Winter Maternity Goddess” theme for one of her setups, along with some artful nudes and a special Rainbow setup. Below are the images that we created together and love how each setup, no matter how elaborate or simple, kept the focus on mom and her beautiful bump. Celebrating your pregnancy and motherhood is such an important part of your baby’s life and believe that all mothers should have the opportunity to be photographed in such a way that highlights that.

When booking a maternity session with my studio, you have access to an extensive line of figure flattering and luxurious maternity dresses from my Client Closet. I keep a wide range of sizes and styles in stock, but the most popular ones tend to be the lacy and frilly ones. I don’t mind that at all since my specialty is light and airy with a touch of vintage romance.

For our first setup I laid out an elaborate display of neutral toned “glamour” type flowers to play into the “Winter Maternity Goddess” theme. As you can see from the images below, these bronze, taupe and gold tones played against Ashley’s slightly olive skin very beautifully.

Keeping in the white lingerie, we added a gorgeous beaded lace gown from TAOPAN and love how much variety we were able to get out of it for Ashley’s gallery. I get such gorgeous afternoon sunlight at the front part of my studio and adore how that sunny glow adds the perfect touch to my images.

Then we moved over to do some high key lingerie photos while she was still in her lacy undergarments. These are just so timeless.

Nude Maternity images can be very classy and tasteful if done correctly. The key is proper lighting and posing. It’s fun to throw in a piece of chiffon fabric to jazz up the pose a bit and to add a little variety into the gallery, too. You can also use tulle for this effect.

We went back to the bed for some more contemporary clothed images. I keep a full wardrobe of beautiful neutral and blush toned dresses in my Client Closet and is available to all of my mommies-to-be when booking a session with my studio. This mauve dress was perfection against Ashley’s creamy skin.

To finish our session, we changed into this beautiful Rainbow dress.

As always, it is my pleasure and honor to be a part of this exciting new chapter in a mommy-to-be’s life. It brings me such joy working with these women, making them feel beautiful and confident (even when they feel like self-proclaimed whales).

    Allison Anderson - I was so self conscious of showing skin at my maternity session because of my skin. Hers is flawless and your posing and editing on her maternity photos is top notch. Mothers to be know they will get beautiful photos at your Prospect KY studio.ReplyCancel

      jlritt - Thank you! I extensively hand edit every maternity session for flawless skin; I remove stretch marks, acne, scars and any other unsightly mark on the body that momma may be self-conscious of. Your comment has inspired me to do a post on how much editing goes into a session and show some side by sides of what the subject looks like Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and then the final edit.ReplyCancel

It was an honor being chosen to be Brooks’ Shepherdsville KY Rainbow Baby Newborn Photographer. Especially since his mommy was one of the Rainbow Baby Maternity Event participants, Leslie Savko.

Brooks’ session had a Rainbow Baby theme, as well as incorporated some light blues and neutral tones since his nursery was decorated in vintage planes with those colors. His big sister was really excited about having a little brother, and I think it really shows in her adorably sweet facial expressions! These are just a handful of my favorites from their session!

In June, I had the honor of photographing Baby Jayce as his Mount Washington KY Rainbow Baby Photographer. You may recall from previous posts that his mommy won a newborn session with my studio during the Rainbow Baby Maternity Event that I hosted in the early Spring of this year. Sheena, Jayce’s mom, was able to carry him full term and had no complications during his delivery. We are all so happy that he was born healthy and without any causes for alarm.

His newborn session was based on the Rainbow Baby theme in addition to including forest creatures. His nursery has a woodsy outdoor theme, so the forest animals went well with his decor. Jayce slept so great during his session and we were able to fly through several setups pretty quickly. Here’s a handful of my absolute favorites from his session.
