Maternity Sessions Couture Maternity Sessions

I N T R O D U C T I O N With my oldest daughter in college and my youngest girls in middle school, I S T I L L cannot believe I was able to create these little humans and bring them into this world (I suppose I have to give my husband a little credit, too.). Since I'm talking about it, I mine as well admit something. Maybe you can relate? While I was SO thankful for being pregnant , I was ready to have my body back to myself by the end of the 2nd trimester. I was ready to be able to reach the ground again, paint my own toe nails, get rid of the restless leg syndrome, not have those crazy cravings, have a glass a wine when I wanted, and to be able to sleep comfortably. I felt fatter than I really was and my face, hands, and ankles were so swollen.

My point? Because I didn't think I was pretty and felt super bloated, I avoided all pictures. For someone who looks at things with the glass half full, I did not embrace my pregnancy more and realize I need to just appreciate my body doing this miraculous thing! Now, I have little to show for it. I have one image each of the end of my pregnancy--in front of a door. (To cut myself some slack, maternity sessions like the ones I offer did not exist then like they do now.) So, I hope you can trust my forth coming when I tell you--- you can only regret NOT taking pictures. Oh yeah---the ONE picture I do have---all my girls LOVE looking at it, knowing they were inside that belly!

VLP provides you with your color choice of soft knit, elegant maternity gown. The maternity gowns are off or on-the-shoulder, maxi dresses with extra length for that couture trend. Current hues to stay within my signature retouching style in the collection include: Orchid (deep purple), black, creamy white, and beige. (More colors and styles will be added as new styles come out.) You can wear your own gown/outfit if you'd prefer.

Tim + Krista. I've been on their journey since they were engaged!

The sessions are done in the city of Chilton about an 60-90 minutes before sunset. You can decide on the location type you'd like (or I can decide for you). Location backdrop choices include:

  • Open field (depending on the season--tall grass, wheat, oats, etc...)
  • Lake Winnebago water backdrop with sunset. (If the water is safe, you can step in the water at the end of the session.)
  • Forest
  • Railroad
  • River and damn water backdrop
  • Your location option or idea

Couture Maternity Session

  • 60 minute session
  • On-Location, outdoor session just before sunset in/around city of Chilton.
  • Spouse and children are encouraged to join your session for no additional fee
  • Your choice of gown in VLP's collection that is dry cleaned and steamed for your session or your own maternity gown.
  • Your choice of images for fine-art retouching.
  • One hand-selected image of your choice for Fine Art Post Processing. This portrait is fine-art-edited with a different process unlike any other. This process takes 4-5 hours to perfect, process, and prepare for print. (One example of the retouching is making your gown 'float' in the air.) All retouching for this image is included in the price.
  • Personal, password-protected gallery for viewing, sharing, and ordering.

What makes this session different from other maternity sessions with other photographers?

I TRULY feel that embracing this moment in photographing your pregnancy ---YOU being pregnant---is a miracle and is JUST as important as photographing you in your wedding gown on your wedding day. Seriously, just think about that for a moment. That's why this is different from my other sessions, from other photographers. I know I'm asking you to trust me to get you a piece of art that you will cherish for life, but I promise, it's worth every second--and penny. This is an experience you will NEVER forget....or regret
