Pregnancy is called the best at times in the life of eachwomen. Although it is often accompanied by an eerie toxicosis, swelling, excess weight and other "delights", it does not happen all 9 months, you will agree. When the tummy grows up and you can not hide it with clothes, the surrounding people suddenly change their attitude towards you: they smile broadly, treat as the greatest jewel. And then it's impossible not to experience the buzz from what is happening to you. Then something appears in my head: "Stop, moment, you are fine."
Our Lena on the pictures of Kate VestisPhoto: Kate Vestis And you also want to press the pause, to stop this time, to keep yourself forever. And I dreamed of beautiful photos that would not be divided into "expectations" and "reality." Well, that is, it would not work: I imagine myself such a fairy, and in the photo - all wrinkles and swelling. But everyone was dissuading me! Parents said it was money to the wind. The girlfriend advised simply to do as much as possible self, fixing all the changes occurring in appearance. Another recommended to ask her husband to shoot in the park. Like, it will not be worse, and a round sum for the services of a photographer and stylist is better spent on a good stroller. I thought. Of course, the issue of money is often decisive. When I started to look through the profiles of different photographers specializing in pregnant shootings, I was to put it mildly, shocked: the cost of some works reached 60-80 thousand rubles! And others asked 10-15 thousand. Whence such a dispersion? First, immediately specify what is included in the cost. Some write a price only for their work, that is, shooting and processing. And where you will be shot, in what - it is already your concern, as a rule, requiring additional expenditure. Those photographers who have higher prices take these questions for themselves: they pick up the studio, offer their own rental of dresses, which greatly simplifies the task. Secondly, decide what you want. Classic photo shoot with a teddy bear, photos of uzi and booties? These are inexpensive. Joint shooting with her husband? More expensive and more difficult - at least the outfits will have to be selected for two.
A photo: Kate Vestis I wanted beautiful pictures of myself. The fact is that all my life I treated myself very strictly, I was always unhappy with something: my thighs are thick, then my hands, my cheeks. I had to get pregnant in order to finally love myself! I never liked myself as much as I did at this time of waiting. I wanted to capture myself from all angles without any complicated scenery and distracting attributes. After much searching, I chose photographer Kate Vestis, in the pictures of which all the women in the position look like goddesses. In addition, she has her own rental dresses and body for pregnant, which, in my opinion, very convenient: relieved me of the need to painfully resolve the issue with outfits for a photo shoot. Plus Katya was mobile and not tied to one familiar studio. My imagination required pictures in the bathroom against the background of a huge window, and the photographer herself picked up and offered me the location. Even now, I understand what mistakes I made, so, in order not to regret spending money in the future, I formulated several tips based on personal experience.
Photo: Kate Vestis1. Do not choose a photographer only for pictures in social networks or the site. Ask for a personal meeting, during which you can discuss your wishes. In the end, you are going to shell out a small amount, and it will be insulting to find out already during the shooting that you speak different languages. I was scared at first that Katya turned out to be a young photographer, but later it turned out that she has a huge work experience - she started filming already in the first year of the institute, she earned a professional technique herself, she trained herself for everything - I am impressed with such purposefulness in people. At the same time, she has her own opinion and opinion. She immediately indicated that I can not show her my archive of saved images: she does not copy the work of others, she does not offer you classical ways, on the contrary, she is for experiments, for flying fantasy. Her pregnant women are removed even with wild lions and foxes! At will, of course.

Those same works of different photographers, pictures of girlfriends, note those poses and angles that you like. And practice by the mirror. Of course, a professional photographer will tell you how to stand up, and in three counts will determine the so-called working side, but you will feel much more comfortable in this position if you know that you are looking from the side in the way you want. I must admit that I was a little is upset that in all the photos I have the same facial expression. During the shooting, I, apparently, so went into the image of the goddess, forgetting that I'm not a supermodel, that I absolutely forgot to smile. A couple of cozy frames, on which I would have been just pregnant happy Lena, such as I am at home every day, I did not have enough.

The photographer will catch a successful camera angle, then he will process the frame and you will get a picture of the dream. And if you are thinking hard, where you have what hangs, you will get the perfect shot with a stiff face and an unnatural pose. All your wrinkles will clean the photoshop, but your internal state, alas, no newfangled program can not change. Do not more than one professional shooting for pregnancy. Up to a maximum of two. By myself I know: I want classic and gentle images, and with a bear, and vamp, and in nature, and "naked" pictures. It is clear that in one shot you can not keep everything, so you start saving on the photographer, enough to make five different shots. Believe me, it is better to make one expensive photo session, focusing on the topic that is closer inside. According to the experience of all my friends, you will choose a maximum of five favorite frames, and print one. And let it be luxurious!
Photo:Kate VestisIn general, girls, in my opinion, you need to do a photo shoot during pregnancy. Nine months fly by so quickly, and then you miss your belly and carefree times so much! And who knows how life will turn out, whether you will go for a second/third/fourth. If you want it now, if such thoughts arise, you need to pamper yourself. It is much better than a piece of cake.
