Tips for a maternity session University of Tampa Maternity session | Tampa maternity photographer
Loren is a beautiful woman and past client of us… we talked about this session months ago!! She wanted to have a session showing the spring mood . As you know, here in Florida the weather is always changing, it was a beautiful morning but then the rain came and we had a weird weather with floods around Tampa.
So we decided to do the session in a cover place. The University of Tampa has the “cover” we needed so we went there and did a beautiful session with Loren and her husband.
We will love to share with you some tips to rock your maternity session, specially if something happens like RAIN!! I know its so difficult to change plans or to expect thing when conflicts like this one happened… but let me share some tips to ENJOY whatever happens in your session:
PLAN B: we normally check the weather days before, but in places like Florida you never know for sure . Having a plan B its a great option to dont generate stress . Also pls check with your doctor your health… if you have some issues pls talk with your photographer about it. If you are involve in a situation where need to change the date, also plan with your photographer optional “back up” dates.
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH EXTRA TIME: Having extra time when you are pregnant is crucial, remember sometimes parking or traffic could be an issue. Also going to the restroom before the house will helps. Have more than just one route to your location, sometimes accidents happens and you dont wan to be late for a sunset session.
BRING WATER AND SNACKS: we normally have this for our clients, but not every photographer provides water and snacks as part of the package or service you hire. So please bring some water with you and snacks .
EXTRA OUTFITS: Even if your session is just planned to get with the outfit that you are wearing, please always bring an extra change of clothes… we had one time a client that had flat wheel and had to changed it with his suit!! SO bringing extra clothes will always help you to be sharp and beautiful for your pics. Also if you have more kids, bring two extra change of clothes.
COMFY SHOES: I love when the future moms want to look BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING as they are, but please think about your feet . Specially when the location is open and when you have more than one kid. Avoid sneakers but think about flats or not to high heels for the session.
