February 5, 2016 / Family Photo Session Mother & Child
Bump Love: Liezl & Rey
When Liezl contacted me to ask about a maternity session, I immediately knew I wanted to do something up in the mountains where the glorious light is. The sun sets there so beautifully. She wanted to do it a bit early. I had to explain about the light and why it’s best to start shooting after three.
I used to not care about lighting! It was only towards the end of last year when I started to care about it so much (more of obsessed about it). Although there are ways to shoot when the sun is so up there, like looking for a shaded area or doing it indoor instead or find a spot where the light is well filtered by trees. There was magic when light became my friend!
For Liezl’s maternity session, I wanted Rey to take part. Pregnancy is best celebrated through pictures when the husband is in the frame. It helps calm the pregnancy hormones. It also serves as a mini family session. I should call it maternity family session instead!
