Rihanna’s Maternity Photoshoot Shakes Scottsdale

The recent maternity photos for Rihanna in her latest Vogue cover were shot by Annie Lebovitz and came out amazing. Based out of Scottsdale, AZ, photographer Luela Kaba commented on the beautiful photos with Rihanna’s baby belly as the focus, “The Vogue maternity photos will be iconic for years to come and a great memory for Rihanna amongst her many accomplishments.”
When asked how an everyday person can have a photoshoot similar to a Vogue maternity shoot Luela replied, “I started in photography with my own style of boudoir and still love that style. It has helped me to have found an amazing place in maternity photos and bringing a chic Vogue element for women’s biggest moments.”
Often times women purchase a boudoir set and then come to Luela for maternity photos, newborn photos, and family photos.
“Having 2 little ones of my own has helped me manage family shoots better than I could have imagined and it gives me that extra special touch and understanding for maternity shoots. I know how important and delicate the moment is for these women and I love to wow them with the photos during this time in their life.”

Taylor’s Birthday Boudoir Shoot

It’s been proven that the color red is the most attractive color to men and women alike. That fact most definitely holds true in our most recent boudoir shoot with the beautiful Taylor. As a returning customer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Taylor for quite a few photoshoots. When she reached out to me in pursuit of this glam boudoir session, it was clear we were going in a new direction for boudoir. I’d call this a “sexy session”. We did, however, want to make sure this shoot was extra special, seeing as she was celebrating her 30th birthday.

With that in mind, there was no doubt that we had to emulate the classiness and sexiness that comes with a woman on her glow day. Taylor and I then worked together to plan the best outfits, poses, and aesthetics to ensure that we would showcase the very best version of herself. It was important to celebrate the hours of hard work Taylor had put into herself and we wanted to truly show that in this take of a boudoir photoshoot. She had brought in tons of beautiful fabrics and clothing that we utilized to create the perfect, effortless look. Stay tuned for these jaw-dropping results.

These looks truly brought about the essence of elegance and beauty while keeping a toned presence. Above all, this shoot was beautifully executed and I can’t wait to work with Taylor again in the near future. Make sure to book a boudoir photoshoot with Luela Kaba Photography!

Pregnancy can be a trying journey, especially on the woman’s body, and it’s imperative that we acknowledge that.

What Goes On Behind the Scenes with Luela Kaba

By Blog

Behind the Camera, How Does It Work?

 

The end result of a photoshoot only shows so much of what’s really going on while on set. When engaging in a maternity or motherhood photoshoot, there’s many aspects that we have to consider: comfort for our model, hair, makeup, and when doing a motherhood shoot specifically, comfort for the baby. Above all, we ensure a fun and safe experience for the model and child. Take a deeper look at the video below to see a bit of what life is like behind the camera!

As shown above, it’s all about testing the waters. With each client, we love to try something new by mixing stunning fabrics with matching backdrops to make for the perfect shot. When taking another peek at the video above, you can see how the model used two different looks; both contrasting in aesthetics, but equal in style. Along with that, there is time and dedication put into making sure that every client feels, unlike the rest. How else should one do that other than through an all-custom photoshoot?

In addition to keeping an eye out for the right fabrics, background, hair, and makeup looks, it’s important to note that Luela Kaba’s photography is entrusted with young toddlers and children of all ages, including newborns. Experience in motherhood has made photoshoots run smoother as we are prepped for any and all possible mix-ups or messes. Having experienced team members is beneficial to the all-around atmosphere on set. Creating a judge-free zone we intend to make sure all women feel completely comfortable in their own skin.
