Pregnancy Galore!

Why hello there! And how are you today?

  As you have likely already gleaned from the title, today is all about pregnant women! It may not seem photography related, but I assure you it is! I have a rather large event coming up that includes an awful lot of pregnant women in one place.

  I started by putting a very loosely worded add out for a pregnant model for a project I had in mind. It was also that same add that taught me the importance of tight wording in my adds. I had so many responses, it was impossible to tackle a single session for them all, not to mention all of my time and money going into this and getting little to nothing in return. So after talking it over with a few other photographers, I realized I needed to be more in charge and not just say yes to everyone that was interested.
  I ended up with two dates of maternity mini sessions. The first of which had three sign ups and the second of which has six sign ups. Well, the first session has come and gone. And with one cancellation and one no show, I only had one woman. I was disappointed at first, but boy was it worth it! The pregnant mamma and her ten year old daughter were quite and treat. They photographed so well and were so fun to talk with.

Ta Da

  Now this Saturday is the daunting yet exciting time. I am so vastly nervous but my I am too giddy to contain it too! Now it is on the the prep, which for me means many things. I will look back to this time last year when I was scouring Pinterest for ideas for my own maternity session, and looking at dozens of pro and amateur photographers and their work. Wish me luck!
