Arrival and Preparation

Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled photoshoot time, especially if you’re bringing toddlers along. This allows time for everyone to get settled and comfortable in the studio environment. Toddlers often need a few extra minutes to warm up to the surroundings and the photographer.

Involving Grandparents

If you’re considering including grandparents in the photoshoot, they are more than welcome! Grandparents can help with babysitting duties during the session, allowing you to focus on capturing beautiful moments with your family. Additionally, grandparents are encouraged to join in the photo session if they wish. If they’re unable to attend, please arrange for a babysitter to ensure the smooth running of the session.

Pre-Shoot Communication

Before your photoshoot, please send us any special images or ideas you have in mind via email at gsrstudio@gmail.com. This helps us tailor the session to your preferences and ensures we capture the moments that matter most to you.

Personal Preparation Tips

Please come prepared with your partner, ensuring hair, makeup, and nails are well-groomed. For makeup, we recommend a naturally matte finish to avoid shine in the photos. Feel free to bring along any hair accessories you’d like to incorporate into your shots.

Personal Grooming

Prior to the session, please ensure you’ve epilated your legs, underarms, and bikini area using a method you’re comfortable with. Stick to tried-and-tested methods to avoid any unwanted surprises. Additionally, don’t forget to brush your teeth for a bright, confident smile that shines in your photos.

Wardrobe Selection

When selecting clothing for the photoshoot, consider the following recommendations:

• Avoid tight clothing or underwear for a couple of hours before the session.
• Camisoles are preferable to bras, and long dresses are recommended over maternity pants.
• Tight socks can leave marks, so use a towel in the car to prevent this.
• Bring two sets of underwear: one in a natural (nude) color and one in black.

Clothing for Partners

For partners, opt for plain solid colors or coordinated palettes that complement your preferred colors. Keep in mind that the studio offers a wide variety of dresses, colors, and styles to choose from if needed.

Accessories and Additional Details

Please bring your clothing on hangers, ensuring they’re washed and ironed beforehand. Remove labels from clothing and avoid items with large logos or lines. Plus-size couples are welcome, and we have the skills and experience to ensure you look your best.

Additional Considerations

Feel free to bring baby shoes and accessories, as well as your favorite music to enjoy during the session. If you’re involving a toddler in the photoshoot, coordinate their outfit with yours, considering color matching for full-color prints.

Special Touches

Lastly, bring along the baby’s ultrasound image and prepare for a fun and memorable experience. You’ll have the opportunity to view stunning maternity images in real-time on the big screen, boosting your confidence and capturing beautiful moments to cherish forever.
