Achieving a Dream Maternity Look: A Special Session for a Longtime Friend’s Sister

At Shutter Surprise by Nani, we believe that every maternity session should be a personalized, luxury experience that makes expecting mothers feel their absolute best. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a special client—my longtime friend’s little sister—who traveled all the way from Austin to Dallas for her dream maternity photoshoot. She knew exactly what she wanted, and I was honored to help her achieve the perfect look.

Bringing Her Vision to Life

From the start, she expressed concerns about looking bloated or puffy in her photos—something many expecting mothers worry about. But with the right combination of expert makeup, strategic lighting, and careful editing, anything is possible! We meticulously planned every detail to ensure she looked and felt stunning, from selecting the perfect outfits to using soft yet sculpting light that enhanced her natural beauty.

The Power of Correct Makeup and Lighting

To ensure she looked radiant and confident, we collaborated on a makeup look that defined her features while maintaining a soft, natural glow. Professional contouring, careful foundation choices, and expert blending helped highlight her best features while minimizing any puffiness.

In the studio, we used advanced lighting techniques to create flattering shadows and depth, giving her a sculpted and elegant look. Soft, diffused lighting helped maintain a delicate, ethereal effect, while backlighting added dimension and grace to the images.

A Seamless Editing Process

While our goal is always to capture stunning images straight out of the camera, a touch of editing helps refine the final look. With careful retouching, we enhanced her natural glow, smoothed out minor imperfections, and ensured that she looked as breathtaking as she felt. The result? A collection of maternity portraits that reflected her true beauty, elegance, and confidence.

A Session Worth Traveling For

Traveling from Austin to Dallas for a maternity session was a big commitment, and I wanted to make sure it was worth every moment. Seeing her reaction to the final images—filled with joy, confidence, and gratitude—made it all the more rewarding.
