Happy Monday before Christmas, Friends.  I have officially closed my holiday photography season when it comes to shooting.  As I look forward to 2017, I wanted to introduce something a bit new for my future maternity clients.  As most of you all with Pinterest accounts know, the maternity gown look is very popular right now.  The hardest part for me as a small, and growing studio is how to create similar looks without buying and storing a plethora of dresses to ensure I can accommodate any mama at any size...you should get the idea.  I can't imagine a closet big enough for all of that fashion! 

I have been a fan of the old fashioned fabric drape or fabric wrap.  Fabrics are versatile as I can use them as a bean bag baby backdrop or as a maternity wrap.  This weekend I was able to play around with some fabric wrapping and a hand made (yes, by me!) tutu.  I am thrilled with the result.  I look forward to bringing more to my maternity clients as we move into 2017.

My beautiful mom-to-be came into my studio this weekend to help me model these looks and do some maternity images in studio, which I do not get to do very often.  The last shot, is one of her own saris which I invited her to wear during her photo session.  I look forward to sharing more images form this shoot soon.
