Maternity Photography
Offered by Edmonton Maternity Photographer, Michelle Sadee
Vision
Pregnancy is an amazing and uniquely special time in a woman’s life. No two pregnancies can be the same, and my job is to ensure that each mother-to-be experiences a photography session that is tailored to her unique vision of who she is and that precious life developing in her womb. My goal is to grab hold of your vision and reflect it in a timeless, captivating photograph. This fleeting, yet wonderful time is to be celebrated and embraced – but you are likely thinking about all that is to come! So if you don’t have a vision for your maternity photos, leave it to me. I can certainly present you with options to ensure that your ‘now’ is photographed in a way that you will treasure forever. My goal is to capture your beauty and turn it into stunning art.
Timing
Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28 and 36 weeks – the last trimester. This is a time when the positioning and size of your special little dreamer in your belly is most visible and pronounced – and there can be no mistaking that someone exciting is soon to arrive!
Consultation
A professional photo should capture your beauty and joy in the ‘now.’ There is no denying how magical it is to feel that little person’s heart fluttering inside of you. And no matter what, this particular pregnancy will never happen again! So, during an in-person or over-the-phone consultation, we will talk a bit about how you envision yourself in your maternity photos – we will not only delve into your personal style, and determine what type of clothes make you feel most like ‘you’ – but also what makes you feel beautiful. Gowns, silk draping, and lace robes are all readily available for you to wear; I will even guide your wardrobe choices. You will also have an option of booking a bit of pre-pampering. That is, I can bring in a professional makeup and hair stylist to create a look for your shoot.
Relax!
One thing is consistent in my sessions – I want to frame your outer and inner beauty – to capture that baby bump while also revealing that ‘glow’, i.e., the love you feel for that special little person on board. Rest assured that as a mother of two, I understand how special this time is. I also know that some pregnancy moments are not so glamorous! But I will do my best to ensure that you enjoy your session. Know that you will be posing in a relaxed atmosphere. It will be as stress-free as possible: once your session date is booked I will send you a detailed guide to help you prepare.
