Make Your Maternity Photos an Enjoyable Experience

Here is How You Can Make Maternity Photos an Enjoyable Experience

The process of pregnancy is truly beautiful and unique. It also goes by so fast. There are many new things to experience and enjoy and think about.

Making memories during this life-changing experience is essential as you don’t want to forget about what it was like being pregnant or having a newborn.

This period of your life can also be very challenging. This is why having a photoshoot and booking a professional for your hair and makeup is the best way to celebrate your journey without unnecessary stress. 

Photoshoots are a wonderful way to celebrate your new body and capture the essence of your pregnancy. They can also be a great boost of confidence.

Pregnancy is a tough period for every woman. Not only does your body go through big changes, but you also need to take care of one more human being.

It is extremely important to find time for yourself and invest in your self-care. Organizing a photoshoot can help you to enjoy the experience of being a mom while allowing yourself to feel cherished and beautiful.

As photo shoots require a lot of preparation a great way to make them more enjoyable is to book a professional.

You can turn this day into a pampering session for yourself. Book a skilled makeup artist and you won’t have to worry about doing your makeup right.

Experts at Polished have experience with hair and makeup for photoshoots. Team Polished also ensures that our clients feel beautiful and empowered. 

By booking a hairstylist and makeup artist from Polished for your photoshoot you won’t have to think about finishing your hair and makeup in time for the photo session.

Makeup artists here at Polished use airbrush makeup that looks natural and lasts all day, which is perfect for photos. Making the hair look elegant and modern on camera can be demanding, which is why leaving it to the professionals is freeing. That way you get to relax and enjoy your day. 

To ensure you get the best photos on the day of your photoshoot you want to prioritize making it a fun and enjoyable experience. Leave the stress and worries at home and take it one step at a time.

We are breaking down the 3 different hair and makeup looks we did on Diane for each of her photos family sessions.

We were there for those life capturing photo sessions with Diane from her maternity photos then newborn session and now recently her 1 year photos.

It’s a joy getting to be part of such happy memories with such a lovely family. Time flies when your experiencing so many amazing moments like becoming a mommy!

If you are on the fence about whether you want to take  photos for all 3 life events, we say DO IT!!

Check out all 3 sessions and see how cute they are!

These moments will pass by faster than you think, so having these memories to look back on will mean more than you know.

Braids in Different Ways

Diane loves braids so we did a different styled braid for each photo session.

For the outdoor maternity session we decided to go with an up-do, because who are we kidding? This is Texas and it is H-O-T so an up-do to keep Diane’s hair off of her neck was the perfect way to go. 

For the sweet newborn and 1 year photo sessions we played with some fun boho braids, one of our favorite styles to create! 

Diane’s boho braid for her newborn photos was whimsical and flowy, she didn’t mind having hair on her neck since these photos were indoors. 

For her 1 year family photo session, we went a little more playful with a tighter braid, and how cute are those mini pigtails! This style is perfect for chasing around your little one.

Natural Lovely Makeup

Our goal as your makeup artist is to create a look that makes you feel confident and fabulous, and we totally hit that goal with Diane!

She wanted to feel like herself, like the fun and loving mommy she is, so we kept her makeup natural and neutral.

We accentuated those beautiful eyes and kept her lips soft with a different nude-pink for each photo session.

I know everyone’s pregnancy is different, some can be tough and others seem to be a breeze but one thing is for sure, all mom’s and expecting mama’s deserve to look and feel beautiful!  

So why not capture that special memory so you can look back and remember that beautiful time of your life?  

There are lot’s of places you can take your maternity pictures but Galveston, TX is definitely one of our team’s favorite spots! If the beach isn’t your thing, there are lots of neat areas hidden in plain sight that don’t give you the Texas beach vibe.  

So let’s talk hair and makeup, on the beach. First thing that comes to mind? It’s windy!

Have you ever gone to the beach with your hair looking cute and then about 5 minutes later its up in a topknot because you can’t stand it blowing all over your face?

Yea, I know, that wind can really screw up that super cute down style, so we made sure to pin the hair back out of Taylor and Brenda’s face. 

Want to know my top tip for wearing makeup at the beach? Don’t wear gloss and your hair down, talk about a bad combination!

Honestly, I wouldn’t wear gloss at all to the beach, just thinking about that makes me think of sand sticking to my lips, gross.

Brenda’s Maternity Photo Session

Brenda's Maternity Photos

Here’s Brenda! We have worked with her numerous times over the years and I can already tell you, she is going to be a super-mom!

I love that we get the chance to share different life events with our clients, bridal photos, birthday shoots and now her maternity photos! 

Brenda loves makeup so we went with a more bold look to fit her personal style. Our team members Julia and Faby absolutely killed this look!

Julia incorporated eye liner on the upper and lower lash line to intensify her eyes and added a toned down mauve lip color to balance out Brenda’s features.

Can I just say, Brenda can really rock eyeliner! 

Faby created a beachy half-up half-down hairstyle, with twists to keep Brenda’s hair from flying in the wind, then a flower crown to top it off.

Flower crowns are one of our favorite hair accessories but here it’s a double whamy!

Super cute and it helps keep her hair out of her face, what more could you ask for on the beach?
