pregnancy portraits - photo-shoot tips

• pregnant couples

  Your significant other may pose with you for all or just some of the shots. Make sure to have them bring a black pair of shorts, pajama pants or boxers. Children are welcome and if you plan on including children make sure you have someone to entertain them away from the photo session during your solo images. It is hard to be the model and the mommy at the same time.

• clothing lines

  Clothing can leave red marks and impressions in your skin that can take hours to disappear. We will remove marks and lines but too many can be tricky and time consuming. To get the most out of your time with us we suggest that you ware loose fitting clothing three to four hours before your shoot. Avoid bras, panties and other elastics.

• keep it simple

  Keep the day of your shoot simple and relaxed. Dedicate the entire day to your pictures. From the moment you wake up visualize how effortless and flawless your shoot will be. Sip your favorite tea, listen to your favorite music, etc.

• be prepared

  Organize any special items you want to incorporate in your pictures the night before the shoot such as clothing or jewelry.

what to expect during your pregnancy portrait session

• a new experience

  Your experience will be different than any other previous portrait sessions you have had. We are not a photography "studio” so there is no waiting room or line of people and no walls to limit the imagination. We capture a moment of real life with all it’s emotion and depth. Our focus is on you and you have our full attention.

• comfortable

  We shoot at any location: your house, park, zoo, office, etc or our home office. It’s all about your comfort. There is no better place to capture real life moments than the places you are the most comfortable and empowered. Your home, your things, your environment.

• flexible

  Your shoot will start once we have taken the time to get to know each other and relax. We don’t schedule more than two portrait sessions in a day so there is plenty of time to focus on you. Your session will last around two hours. Afterward, you have all the time in the world to order and reorder your pictures. We don’t throw any negatives away like most studios do after a certain time limit.

• nudity optional

  Nudity is completely dependent on your level of comfort and the kind of final images you want to have. In order to achieve the natural feeling in or work there is some level of nudity even if the final image has none. Almost all of our pregnant moms have never posed nude before. All have said they were completely comfortable within minutes and felt relaxed working with Koren. You will have privacy when disrobing and setting up for the shot. You are encouraged have a friend with you at the shoot for support.
