This is part two of the videos I made from this branding session I did with West River Cakes 🍊🦢🌸
Yesterday I posted the set up of the giant cake I made. And today it’s all about finishing the decorations of the cake and doing the shoot. So enjoy and follow along. As I was making this video, I realized how much we were all giggling and laughing. This is exactly why I love what I do. They say if you love what you do, you never work a day of your life. And I truly feel that way, especially when I have super fun sessions like this. It feels like a creative outlet and hanging out with friends. The best!

Do you own a small business or have you created a brand for yourself? Let’s chat. I would love to create some unique photography for your brand that will help your dream client stop scrolling and pay attention to you! Nothing says stop the scroll like a life-size cake taller than you ha ha.

Ever wonder what a photographer does on their days with no photo shoot? Usually entails more work than an actual shoot day lol. This particular day I was prepping for a branding photography session with a Baker. And of course I had the crazy idea of building a giant life-size cake that’s taller than us lol. I don’t know why I do this to myself ha ha! But my client was down for the idea so I said let’s go!
if you enjoyed watching all the behind-the-scenes fun from this, then give me a follow. I’ll be posting tons more behind-the-scenes videos and not to mention part two of this video where you’re gonna see how we did the final decorations of this cake and the actual photo shoot itself. It’s so fun. You’re not gonna wanna miss it!

Ever wonder what it would be like to do a maternity session with me? Come along as I show you my five step process to every maternity photography session that I do.

Step 1: discovery call. It’s my first touch point with you. We chat on the phone and I get to know you a little bit better and listen to ideas you might have and your dreams for your photo shoot.

Step 2: zoom planning call. After I book your session I schedule a Zoom planning call with you. This is where we get down to the nitty-gritty. We pick out the colors, themes, backdrops, wardrobe, all the things!. This is how every one of my sessions goes so smoothly. Because everything is preplanned and ready to go before you ever step foot in my studio.

Step 3: the photo shoot. So much fun! Because everything has already been planned you get to just show up and be pampered and get a lot of laughs along the way. I have so many reviews on my Google business page of mom‘s raving about how much fun the shoot was and how comfortable they felt with me. I take that as a my badge of honor. I take maternity sessions in my studio located in Pasadena Maryland or outside at various gorgeous Maryland landmarks.

Step 4: zoom planning call. I sit down with you together on Zoom and go through all of the photos. I guide you in making print decisions and digital decisions as well. I never leave you alone to make decisions throughout this entire process. You have me every step of the way.

Step 5: everyone’s favorite, photo delivery! I hand edit every single photo that you choose until they are polished and perfect. I have worked with so many families and it’s my greatest joy to deliver photos that brings tears to their eyes.

So mama, what the heck are you waiting for? Schedule your free discovery call with me today to start the planning process for your maternity photography session.

I only take on four clients per month to ensure extreme quality control over every single session. For that reason, my schedule books quick! Fall and winter maternity sessions are already booking. Message me to reserve yours.
