Our approach
Maternity photos are personal. Most women want to look like themselves, rested and calm, and still remember how the body looked at that time. Gentle retouching helps the photo look the way you felt on the best day of the session.
We work lightly and we follow your wishes.
Skin and tone
Pregnancy can change the skin. We can even out redness and uneven tone, soften shine, tone down stretch marks if you want that, and clean small spots. We keep the natural skin texture so the photo does not look plastic.
If you want some details kept, such as freckles or a birthmark, tell us.
Light, fabric and background
Flowing dresses and drapes look beautiful but wrinkle easily. We smooth the fabric, fix folds that look messy and make sure the color is the same across the series.
We balance the light on the face and body, and remove distractions from the background, such as cables, signs and clutter.
About the body
We do not change the shape of a pregnant body unless you ask, and then only lightly, for example to clean the line of the arm or the back. The belly stays as it is, because that is the point of the photo.
If you are unsure how much to change, ask us for a light version first.
How to ask
Send the original files and a few lines: what to fix, what to keep and the look you like. If you have a favorite photo from another session, you can send it as an example.
We reply with a price and a timeline within 12 hours.
