The MUST BRING LIST.

Sometimes, especially in the hot unforgiving Alabama sunshine, it's hard to feel pretty when you are pregnant. But no matter how crumby you may feel, you have that one outfit that you just know is perfect for all occasions. It is also perfect for these portraits. Wear it to the studio. Make it the first thing you get photographed in. Wearing something you feel comfortable in is always a great place to start your session. Daphne Ellenburg also stocks a ton of gorgeous maternity gowns. When you book in for your maternity portraits at Ellenburg Photography, Daphne will give you the option to be photographed in her custom gowns.

Sonograms make a nice portrait addition for your maternity portraits. A great belly shot holding that sweet portrait of your new baby will be a real show stopper for your maternity portrait album. The sonogram is easily worked into your session with just Mom, Dad or siblings. Just grab it off the fridge on your way to the studio.

Becoming a big Brother or big Sister is a BIG deal in South Alabama. Parents are making custom t-shirts and onsies to spread the word that your family is growing. With this kind of excitement, they really NEED to be included in your session. A big belly hug goes a long way to creating something special that your new baby will cherish. Bring those new t-shirts too.

New Mom, as much as you KNOW this shoot is about you, Dad will argue it is about him too. Why even fuss about it? Bring Dad along. It's a perfect opportunity to get wonderful cuddly portraits of the two of you before you become the three of you. It's also a GREAT time to show off Dad's excitement about your growing family. 

The maternity portrait shoot is all about the belly and drawing attention to the belly. Hands are used to accentuate that baby over and over again during your session. Having a GREAT fresh manicure will go a long way to making you fall in love with your Maternity portraits. Daphne recommends a nice neutral paint color for your nails. Think nudes, creams, pale pinks to make the most of your shoot. And it's everyone loves the pampering of a nice manicure. While you are there, get your toes done too. You deserve it.
