Xavier and Alexa are fraternal twins, born on May 16th, 2016. Alexa is two minutes older than her brother Xavier, which was born at 5:14 pm. It was my first experience working with twins, taking way more time and was double the challenge. I absolutely loved it and I also love the final work.
Judge by yourself.

I firmly believe that there are times in our lives we should document, regardless of how we feel about our bodies. Maternity is by far one of those precious times that NEVER comes back. Many women during their pregnancy, feel very self-conscious and embarrassed about how they looked, especially in front of a camera. Most people think that cameras and great photography are just for top models or just for "good looking people," but this is simply NOT true at all. Because Pregnancy pictures are so fascinating to me, I have decided to give you 8 great reasons to have a maternity photo shoot before your lose this rare opportunity and end up in regret. |
Moms can remember that although pregnancy isn’t easy, it is an amazing time in their lives. Remembering what it was like when it was just the two of you (or three or more), to remember that the uncomfortable things in life can bring us the greatest joy. Overall, just to remember the miracle. Think of all the things that are going on inside that tiny little space in your body. You’ve grown a brand new person inside of you! Our bodies are miraculously built in a way that allows us to bring life into the world. We can carry a child within us as they grow and develop to the point that can safely survive in the world. |
2. Celebration...
We always take photos at wedding celebrations, at parties, and at any other special celebration. Why not celebrate this beautiful experience in a women's life. Maternity photos are not just about a "baby bump." They are a way for us to celebrate the baby we’re about to meet, to celebrate a new family member, and to celebrate the strength of our bodies. That "baby bump" is beautiful. As women, we need to take back our bodies and take back celebrating what we are capable of. Celebrate! Celebrate this beautiful moment is your life! |
3. Bonding Time
The fact is, you've got to hold these pictures very dear to your heart, because of the emotion, the experience, and the bonding that happens.
Looking at those photos you can bring yourself right back there to those moments, and feel so much love and appreciation for your partner, and other children in the family.
Feeling the love, looking into the eyes of your family members and making that special connection, and that special bond will always remind you of just how lucky you were to have those moments in your life.

It can be harder for a "dad-to-be" to bond with an unborn baby, since the baby is growing inside of you the mommy – and not him.
But he can’t feel it so he doesn’t know how wonderful it is.
By putting dad in the picture (pardon the pun!) you can help him bond with baby a bit more too, and it gives him some special memories of his own

If you have children already, they may feel really special by being in some of your maternity photos, hugging your belly, kissing your belly, showing their love, and bonding with baby. It can help them to feel important too, and it's a nice memory which they can look at one day and remember, "I was there when you were in mummy’s tummy!"
Some children may feel apprehensive about the new changes coming – what it will mean for them when the baby comes.
Pregnancy photos with your older children is a nice way to put a fun and exciting touch to your family's changes.

4. Even More Beautiful
Pregnancy is a thing of beauty, every time I see a pregnant women, I see the beauty in her.
Please ignore the cheeky gremlins in your mind telling you otherwise.
Believe me, some women surely feel envious and jealous of you too, remembering what a special time pregnancy was and/or wishing they were in your shoes!
By the way, if you don't believe it, just come to my studio and let me prove it to you.

5. Memories for a Lifetime
You might be unsure about it now, but if you don’t have a photography session while you’re pregnant, you’ve lost the chance to create once in a lifetime memories that you can’t get them back.
Photos also trigger memories, feelings, emotions and they help you remember them more vividly.
Even if you don’t care for the memory for yourself, I can assure you that when your children are older, they will be delighted to see the photos of their pregnant mamma, while they were growing inside of you.
This is a great opportunity for you to remember that although pregnancy isn’t easy, it’s an amazing time.
I believe our photos will provide all of that emotions in you for a lifetime.

6. Professional VS a friend with good camera
Yes, you could just take images at home, or get them done by a friend or family member.
But a professional photographer can create a work of art, taking into consideration the best angles, lighting, effects, focus and depth.
And they can totally transform what would otherwise be just a shot of you, into a story, a feeling, a work of art.
They can prepare any images you may want printed and give them a great finish that will ‘wow’ not only you, but your friends and family.
Images that relatives may want to purchase and treasure for themselves. Great photos make great presents too!

7. Creativity
Its important to do a bit of research or give some thought into ideas or themes you’d like for your pregnancy photos. If you find things on the web or in magazines, just save your favorite images to show your photographer. An experienced or talented Maternity photographer will be great at directing you and suggesting ideas, so its good to find out what they like to do in maternity shoots. Good research can help you to reflect elegance, fun, intimacy, and of course creativity in your Maternity pictures. Its important to mention that you can add your baby's name, ultrasound, or shoes, etc. and keep them for him or her with a picture next to it until he or she is old. |
I personally don't have any box of myself with memories, but my Mother-in-Law gave me one of my husband that I really love - especially the fact that at least one of us have something to share with our children.
8. Once is gone, Is Gone
There are only a few months in your life, per baby, that you’ll have a glorious, noticeable, round belly.
Sadly it takes months to show and you have that in-between ‘could be a squishy tummy, but could also be pregnant’ stage too!
Before you know it, the birth is over, they’ll be at school, or having their own kids, just like your parents will tell you.
And those dear moments of pregnancy will be but a distant memory.
Even if it’s something you do just in case you might want it later, I don’t know anyone who has regretted getting a pregnancy photo shoot – but I know plenty who regret not doing it. -

Then, when you see the beautiful photos created, you will see that what you criticize in the mirror isn’t so bad after all.
Sometimes we have to change what we’re doing before our thinking follows suit.

Tuve la dicha de conocer a la Familia Solis antes de que Ian naciera, cuando le tome fotos a de maternidad a Mami, Papi y su hermanita Melody.
Ian JS. nacio en un dia especial, un dia que solo tenemos cada cuatro años, 29 de Febrero.
Mami me preparo muy bien antes de esta sesion y me dejo saber sus ideas para las fotos que queria en la session de Ian. Entre esa ideas, una foto donde Ian estubiera leyendo su bibia, la cual es esta primera y una de mis favoritas de esta sesion de recien nacido.

Como Ian nacio en la temporada cerca del dia de pascua y su mami tuvo la idea de que parte de su seccion de fotos fuera dedicada a algo relevante al la fecha. Aqui les dejo las fotos que tome en honor al dia del conejo.
Porsupuesto las fotos con la familia no podian faltar. Ian es el principito que la familia esperaba.
