I’m excited to capture these special moments for you in the beautiful, historic streets of Prague this autumn! To ensure your maternity photoshoot is as magical as possible, I’ve put together some tips and guidelines to help you prepare.

Outfit Selection

• Seasonal Colors: Autumn in Prague is rich with warm tones like deep oranges, reds, browns, and golden yellows. Consider outfits that complement these hues. Soft neutrals, earth tones, and jewel tones also work beautifully.
• Comfort & Style: Choose outfits that are both comfortable and flattering to your baby bump. Flowy dresses, fitted tops with long skirts, and cozy cardigans can create elegant silhouettes. Layers are your friend during this time of year!
• Footwear: Since we’ll be walking on cobblestone streets, wear comfortable shoes. You can bring along a pair of stylish flats or boots for the photos.
• Accessories: Scarves, hats, and simple jewelry can add a chic touch to your outfit. Consider bringing along a few different options to play with during the shoot.

Hair and Makeup

• Professional Services: If possible, consider booking a professional hair and makeup artist. They can help you achieve a look that complements your outfit and enhances your natural beauty. Autumn light is soft, so a slightly bolder makeup look can work well.
• Hair Styling: Loose waves, braids, or a sleek updo can all look stunning against the backdrop of Prague’s historic streets. If the weather is breezy, consider a style that will stay in place.

Props and Personal Touches

• Props: If you have any personal items that are meaningful to you, like a baby blanket, ultrasound photo, or a small pair of baby shoes, feel free to bring them along. These can add a personal touch to your photos.
• Seasonal Touches: Consider incorporating autumn leaves, a cozy blanket, or even a hot beverage like a cup of tea or coffee for a relaxed, seasonal vibe.

Timing and Lighting

• Golden Hour: The best time for photography is during the golden hour—just after sunrise or before sunset. The soft, warm light during this time enhances the autumn colors and provides a flattering glow.
• Weather: Autumn weather in Prague can be unpredictable. We may need to be flexible with timing, so keep an eye on the forecast. If rain is expected, we can embrace it with umbrellas or reschedule if necessary.

Location and Logistics

• Meeting Point: We’ll start our session at aggreed location. From there, we’ll explore nearby streets and landmarks, making the most of the historic backdrop.
• Travel Light: Try to bring only essentials. If you need to bring a bag, consider a small, stylish one that could even double as a prop.

Relax and Enjoy

• Comfort First: The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and at ease. Don’t stress about posing—I’ll guide you through everything. The goal is to capture natural, beautiful moments that reflect your personality and joy.
• Partner and Siblings: If your partner or other children will be joining the shoot, coordinate their outfits with yours for a cohesive look. Simple, neutral tones work best for them too.

After the Shoot

• Photo Review: I’ll provide you with a selection of edited images to choose from within 2 weeks.
• Prints and Albums: If you’re interested in physical prints or a photo album, let me know, and we can discuss options.

I’m looking forward to our session! If you have any questions or need further advice, feel free to reach out.
