In the past few years, more and more women have been seeking professional, sexy, boudoir portraits of themselves. Maybe it is all those Victoria Secret catalogs laying around our houses? So it is not a mystery that there has also been a strong interest in modern pregnancy portraits with a glamorous, boudoir spin. At my East Bay portrait studio, I have been photographing maternity and boudoir portraits for many years – so merging them together is a natural fit for me. What is funny to me is that my boudoir maternity portraits actually involve putting on more clothes than my typical fine art nude pregnancy portrait sessions. Adding bangles, high heels and sometimes lingerie turns the portrait toward the boudoir side of things. Professional hair and make-up are more essential for the glamor boudoir pregnancy portraits at my Bay Area Photography Studio, and you can have it done on your own or we can hire in a hair and make-up stylist to come to the studio for an additional fee. Not sure that you want to go with the boudoir pregnancy portrait style? Why not try some out, as well as some of our modern fine art nude pregnancy portraits or stunning maternity portraits with colorful fabrics – or even some cute jeans with a tube top. All of these can be accomplished in one session in studio – best done between 32 and 36 weeks to ensure plenty of curves in all the right places! Have some additional curves or skin blemishes that you do not want to memorialize from your pregnancy? No Worries – my retouchers are fantastic and between the lighting, posing and magic of retouching the resulting portraits will be stunning.
