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.

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!
Don’t forget to set time aside

A photoshoot session with Luela Kaba can take up to four hours, so make sure you don’t have a jam-packed day. We want to make sure everyone is in a positive mood so everything can run smoothly.

Remember to take it easy on yourself. When it comes to self-love we have to embrace our imperfections and remind ourselves why we are doing this. When you look back at these photos, all you’re going to see pure happiness and overwhelming love and excitement, so enjoy it!

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!
