Word of Mouth and Why It’s So Important

Any business owner knows the importance of a close-net community. That’s why we like to create a close connection with our customers ensuring that they feel supported and pleasant throughout their experience with Luela Kaba and her creative team. Without the continuous reviews, shared experiences, and recommendations, a business is as good as gone. Products may be great, and a skillset maybe amazing, but what is it without an audience to showcase it all to?

In maternity, motherhood, family, or boudoir photography, it’s easy to drown in the sea of photographers, especially in such a populated area like Scottsdale or Los Angeles. That’s why we rely on our customers and their genuine excitement! To truly get a good review to our name, we have to perfect our customer service. Perfect it to the point where they’d willingly go out of their way to rave out of excitement how much fun they had as Luela Kaba’s model. How do we do it? We make you feel special. Out of all the clients we’ve had, each one can easily remember the day they had a maternity, motherhood, family, or boudoir photoshoot with Luela Kaba. It took up hours, meaning they had to clear a whole day’s worth of scheduling so they can focus on themselves. Do you know what most people call that? Self-care.

That’s the word. Self-care. It’s the reason why anyone spends too much money buying clothes, or eats some yummy, but slightly unhealthy, food. You do these things to treat yourself. And hopping along happily is Luela Kaba’s maternity, motherhood, family, or boudoir photo shoot. This form of self-care has been recommended by many upcoming mothers and even some competing companies. Don’t believe me? See for yourself at Luela Kaba’s praise page!

Let’s Talk Gender Reveals

By imani armandBlog

Gender Reveals:
Are You a Minimalist or an Extremist?

Working with aspiring parents, we admire the opportunity to watch a family grow right before our eyes. Between Luela Kaba’s family, motherhood, and maternity photoshoots, it’s bittersweet to watch a client go on to live a beautiful life with their new family! However, Luela Kaba and her creative team are one big family; and our clients are our extended family. With that being said, revealing the gender of a bun in the oven is one of the biggest moments of soon-to-be parents! So here are some ideas as far as how creative you can get.

When it comes to gender reveals, it can go two ways, (1) a minimal gathering with close family or (2) a grand kickoff with the whole crew! But in this case, let’s start with the first.

Minimal, Small, Meaningful:

For a small gathering with family only 10 people are really necessary. This makes room for easy flowing conversation, lots of photo opportunities, and isn’t too difficult to cater to. You could reveal the gender by doing any of the following:

Cut a cake! The filling of the center would be the color designated to each gender.
Pop a balloon! There could be confetti with the designated color within it.
Set a smoke bomb! Have a friend who has previous knowledge of the gender decorate the smoke bomb so that there are no spoilers.

Grand, Plentiful, Dramatic:

Having a huge party for this kind of announcement seems like loads of fun! So many loved ones would be there to celebrate, mingle, and welcome your parenthood with open arms. Lots of candids would be taken and that would be the perfect opportunity to tell your little one “That’s your third cousin! That’s your fifth auntie!” and so so so much more. The atmosphere would be through the roof and as parents-to-be, you would be surrounded by endless support and love. You could reveal the gender by doing any of the following:

Fireworks! As the sun goes down, this would be a perfect opportunity to see some beautiful visuals while finding out the gender of your baby.
Team games! Have the guests split up into teams and engage in an activity that would reveal the gender of the baby.
Pinata! Use a huge pinata and have that release party confetti in the color designated to each color.

Hopefully, this helped open up a whole new world. If not for the memories, do it for the amazing photography that could come from it! Don’t forget to book Luela Kaba for maternity, motherhood, family, or boudoir photography.

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.

What Makes a Great Maternity Photographer

By imani armandBlog

What To Look For In Your Maternity Photographer

When it comes to choosing your maternity photographer, there are lots that a mother needs to take into consideration. It’s a mission to try and find the best photographer that can capture the beauty of a woman’s pregnancy in a way where they feel supported and sexy. While a maternity photoshoot is about pregnancy, what goes into it is way more than that. As a maternity photographer, it’s important to be able to create a welcoming environment where pregnancy coincides with confidence and sexiness. Combine these elements, and you’ve got yourself a glamorous photoshoot.

Luela Kaba and her creative team have a special outlook that makes for an open-minded experience when preparing for a maternity photoshoot. This makes for a clear communicative relationship between the client and the photographer, making sure we establish a solid relationship and can find the perfect vibe for a maternity photoshoot.

With that being said, when looking for your maternity photographers, make sure it is someone you know you can trust. Ensure that you will be able to have open communication with your photographer so you can get the best results possible. The last thing any mother wants is to spend money on a photoshoot that you don’t like! Make sure you have a photographer that is clear with their rates, understands you, and can work with others. Luckily, Luela Kaba does just that.

Dance & Photography

By adminBlog

Dance, the way to my soul. It started when I was 5. I fell in love it from the very beginning. Every beat just made me move. I continued dancing all the way through college. I loved every minute if it I just wish I would have gone further, but that takes me here to this blog. Today here at Luela Kaba Photography I got to work with a young dancer here in Phoenix. Her grandmother reached out and wanted to gift her some photos as a Valentine’s gift. I was so excited to work on this project. I started dreaming from the very moment she reached out. What poses, what outfits and lighting. I knew I wanted something delicate and beautiful. Found the most beautiful pieces for her. We worked together in the studio to achieve all the different looks and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The fabrics and lighting was everything I had imagined in my mind. Put dance and photography all in one and we are in for a long session of art making. It doesn’t get any better.

Extra Look on Mother & Baby Photoshoot with Luela Kaba

By imani armandBlog

Mother and baby stunning photo shoot with Luela Kaba

The term maternal is to be defined as denoting feelings associated with or typical of a mother. Its synonyms are protective, nurturing, devoted, compassionate, and warm. Characteristically, mothers live up to every name. It’s the first touch a new beautiful baby knows and clings to. The connection between mother and child is one like no other. It’s a result of the ability to create life paired with the feeling of overwhelming love. Luela’s lens allows for transparency and clear emotion, an aspect that is evident in this elegant photo shoot. In this shoot, in particular, Luela Kaba played with dark and light styles. All while coupling this with weightless fabrics to keep the focus on the subject. Browse below to indulge in precious moments caught beautifully through graceful movements.

As stated before, the portraits above and below this caption present contrasting styles. One light, one dark. Seeming to represent the highs and lows of motherhood. Essentially creating one large love, no matter the chaos. With a subtle floral addition, the breathability within these photographs continues to prove the selflessness all parents undergo.

Less is more. Motherhood photography is an art form reserved for resilient women. Specifically, those who can exert the power and strength needed to protect and raise a child. Its very purpose is to express the grit and grace presented in every obstacle to come. In some eyes, it’s poetic. “I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is,” said Oprah. Embracing a new chapter in both a mother and a newborn’s life is an event that should always be celebrated. Schedule a photo shoot, contact Luela Kaba today!
