Our Fav Shoots and How We Do Them: Part Two

If there’s anything we’ve learned from our past shoots, there are lots to cover with each client. Even more so since there’s no chance of getting the same personality twice! (A quality we admire, might I add.) Let’s look at our next shoot and analyze the ins and outs of our beautiful mother and her stylistic wants & needs. As usual, we will be looking at fabrics, tones, and our model. Let’s dive in.

Fabrics. Fabrics, whether noticeable or not, is the first thing a viewer notices when looking at model photography. With this particular client, it’s clear that they were leaning especially towards a sheer and sexy look. To do this, we wanted to implement a see-through fabric with beautiful rhinestones. This matched the rest of the photo beautifully, keeping up with the connection with the backdrop and the mother’s makeup.
Tone. Notice the color palette of the backdrop and how it compliments the fabrics used in this shoot. This enhances the communication between the various elements of this maternity photo shoot. Everything seems to keep a nice monotone aesthetic. Making for a glamorous but clean look.
Our beautiful mother. As mentioned before, there is an evident flow between all 3 elements, and fulfilling this flow, is our model. As you can see her beauty make-up matches the nude and shimmery feel. This completes the connection thus creating a stunning photoshoot.

Maternity Photoshoots: What to Consider

By imani armandBlog

Things To Consider When Doing A Maternity Shoot

When joining in on a maternity shoot, there’s lots to take into consideration. The photographer, the outfits, the makeup, the prices, and much much more. With that being said, preparation is the best thing a person can do to ensure feeling content and satisfied with their experience. As always, we preach communication and transparency between clients and ourselves, to be able to provide to you the absolute best service. With that being said, let’s get into a few things that any person who is looking into a maternity photoshoot should look into.

For starters, the very first step to engaging into a maternity photoshoot is finding your photographer. This is usually done through a recommendation or online research. Make sure to look at customer reviews to get a thorough analysis. There, you’ll find a given community of mothers that know what experiences they’ve enjoyed and what experiences they haven’t. Next, it’s good to have an idea of what kind of photoshoot you want. Are you looking for something glamorous? Something subtle? Something dark and sexy? All of them would look amazing! Once you’ve found your photographer and aesthetic, it’s important to make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to pricing. Communication is key! Once you’ve gotten past these minor checklist “must-do’s” you’ll be set and ready to go.

Like what you see up there? Attention to detail is the best thing a customer could ask for. Maternity photography is an art form that requires a characteristic that you cannot teach: knowing your audience. Luela Kaba and her team makes every photoshoot seem like a personal experience.

Client Customs and Why We Do Them

By imani armandBlog

Fabrics, Backgrounds, and Tones:

Why does it Matter?

When it comes to photography, Luela Kaba keeps a keen eye on what a perfect portrait must look like. Finding and keeping harmony between fabrics, backgrounds, and tones is the secret to pleasing the viewer. Keeping a clear, flowing connection throughout the photo makes for a complete and satisfying photo, leaving the photographer, the model, and anyone who sees it on a very happy note. Throughout a maternity photoshoot, it’s important to establish a continuous aesthetic throughout the session. This is when we acknowledge and implement the preferred style of the model, or in most cases, the mother. While encompassing effortless beauty, maternity photographer Luela Kaba praises the method of communication. We choose our models’ fabrics, backgrounds, and tones based on what they’ve expressed to us and what vibe we pick up.

Based on our analysis and rundown with our model, we then come to a conclusion about which types of fabrics we will use, what colors they will be. All of this and more begs us to ask the question “What do we want the audience to feel?”. Depending on the answer, we pick between flowy fabrics or still fabrics and covering fabrics or revealing fabrics. Once we’ve gotten there, next up is the color. What tone do we want to set. Are we looking for a dark and mysterious tone? Let’s put our model in dark eyeshadow, dark lipstick, and maroon flowy fabrics. Looking for a light and airy tone? Let’s put our model in a natural look, paired with nude lipstick and white minimal fabrics.

Why does it matter? Our clients satisfaction is very important to us. Covering maternity photoshoots, motherhood photoshoots, family photoshoots and boudoir photoshoots, it’s important to know the wants and needs of every client, and down to a personal level too. Book Luela Kaba for your next session, and let us get your custom fabrics, backgrounds, and tones.

Prepping for a Maternity Shoot? Here’s How

By imani armandBlog

How to Prepare for a Maternity Shoot

As a maternity, motherhood, family, and boudoir photographer, it’s incredibly common that our clients feel the need to go overboard with preparation the day before. While there is some that you can do, there’s no reason for anyone to lose sleep over it! So, fear no more, the following words will teach you how to properly prepare for a maternity photoshoot.

For starters, it’s important that you are in the right state of mind. Don’t forget that this is a form of self-care and it is imperative that you realize that we are doing this for you! It’s alright to get cold feet, but I assure you that our team is welcoming and so excited to get glam with you! Play some music and get yourself in the mood, after all, this is a day meant for pampering. Once you’ve gotten yourself hyped up and ready to go, go ahead and get your nails done. Make sure any tiny imperfections that you’d want out of sight, are handled! This includes manicures, pedicures, and unwanted body hair. We want you feeling pristine!

Next up, pack your bags! Make sure you have anything and everything you might need, especially because these are long sessions, so you want to be set. Bring some comfy maternity clothes and make sure you’ve brought any vitamins, or medication you might need so there’s no personal stress. If you want, bring some personal support with you. If our team isn’t enough of a hype team, then you can bring your partner: a built-in DIY hype team. No matter what, don’t forget to remember your worth, and then add tax. 😉

Analyzing Our Favorite Shoots

By imani armandBlog

Our Fav Shoots and How We Do Them

Growing up, we were all told how unique each of us are. How each and every person is different from anyone else, bringing different qualities and personalities to the table. When it comes to maternity photography, there is a different perspective that goes with each and every client. Creating custom fabrics, backdrops, and tones for each shoot, it’s important to be able to tailor to the wants and needs of the mother. In today’s blog, we will be analyzing the ins and outs of each client and how we satisfy their wants.

In maternity photography, and specifically this one, it’s vital to pay attention to the 3 most important aspects: fabrics, tone, and the mother.

Fabrics. As you can see here, after some meddling, we decided to settle with some semi- bright tones to counter our client’s rich complexion. This complemented the subject of the photo and brings the eye to a focal point. Matching the fabrics with a headwrap brings together the whole photo as well as captures the mother as the centerpiece. This makes for a beautiful full-circle moment.
Tone. The tone, or mood, of a photo is especially evident based on the colors of the fabrics as well as the backdrop. Using warm colors, we create a welcoming setting, a feeling that newborns all tend to call upon when first feeling the touch of their mother. Whilst creating the perfect combination of the two, it’s imperative to make sure they don’t swallow the light for the subject.
Our beautiful mother. In the photos above, we wanted to capture the mother’s grace and poise. We set the fabrics to be draping elegantly behind her, making for a regal aesthetic. We take the pure beauty standing in front of us and simply tailor the accessories to fit her. Showing off a stunning side profile, we take all of the best angles that perfectly highlight the perfections of each and every client of ours. These same aspects go with any other maternity, motherhood, family, or boudoir photo shoot.

5 Ways To Feel Your Best During Your Maternity Session

As a little gift to all of our moms, whether you’ve experienced a photoshoot with us or not. Here’s some advice on how to feel your best when taking your maternity photos, from yours truly.

Pre-shoot Prep!

When it comes to any photo shoot it’s important for the model to be prepared and thus feeling her best. Make sure you’ve taken any necessary steps. If preferred, some might include a manicure and/or pedicure, a trip to the hair salon, and even a body hair removal! Remember, these are all suggestions, and all mothers must do what they feel is necessary to prepare themselves for their photoshoot.
Communication!

It is super important for a model to feel understood during their photoshoot. The best way to ensure this is through full transparency and communication. If there’s something you want to be changed, let us know! If you want more of something else, tell us! Maternity photoshoots are meant to be a result of teamwork, and (just like parenting) it takes patience! 🙂
Come in comfortable clothing!

Being in glam isn’t easy. So it’s completely okay to come in comfortable clothes and let us do the rest. A photoshoot with Luela Kaba makes for a comfortable and enjoyable experience, so once you’re on set, you’re in our hands. Relax!
