Bump photography all began when 'Demi moore' posed naked with her bump & nothing but diamond earrings for 'Vanity fair' magazine in August 1991. Since that issue came out society seemed to accept this style of photography for expectant mothers much more. It has continued with its popularity ,with more and more celebritys such as Claudia Schiffer frequently posing with their naked bump for some of the most prestigious fashion mags such as Vogue. Now in the 21st century this ever popular beautiful keepsake is becoming more popular than ever. During our MATERNAL MOMENTS sessions at Dreamscape, we always aim to make you as an individual and/or couple feel totally at ease, as these type of photos are very intimate and personal moments. We use a wide variety of natural poses to show off that beautiful bump! Often mums to be choose to involve the new babys siblings in the bump photos and dad/partner too. Where we can create some stunning shots of siblings kissing/holding 'bump', or dad/partner with his arms around bump, amongst other poses. Some ladys choose to document their pregnancy with the photos by having monthly photo sessions which document their beautiful bumps growth. Other familys decide to have just 1 session closer to the end of their pregnancy. BUT (theres always a but isnt there!) many ladys who have contacted us all have the same worry..the dreaded STRETCH MARKS! Now, not every lady will develop stretchmarks, & for some ladys stretchmarks are simply their 'baby marks' ,a signs that their belly has had to stretch and grow to bring a little life into the world, after all were all different in our own unique ways! However for alot of women stretchmarks make them feel paranoid, body conscious & definatley not something their wanting to show to the world. Many ladys ive spoken with have said their very keen to have a maternal moments session done but are extremeley conscious of stretchmarks,scars, or the 'linea nigra' (darkened pregnancy down the tummy). So with this blog I just wanted to assure those ladys & any other ladys that it is entirley possible to remove scars, stretchmarks, scratches rash's etc! Below I have includes a before and after shot of a bump unedited showing stretchmarks and the after shot with editing. So as you can see ladys we can make your beautiful baby bump silky smooth looking if it is just those stretch marks, scars or linea lines holding you back :) Below ive also included not only the before & after images but also two icons showing you the vanity fair mag edition of demi moore and claudia schiffer showing off her baby bump in vogue! Ive also added in a couple of clients images from my maternal moments sessions.
I hope this blog has put any expectant ladys minds at rest that yes stretchmarks are a part of pregnancy for some ladys, & for some their totally accepting of that and why not?! pregnancy is beautiful after all, However there are some mums who dont have that level of body confidence during pregnancy and in this situation im sure a little bit of soft editing here & there will help reassure them greatly :)
Lots of lovley 'maternal moments' packages available feel free to contact me for further info :)
