Maternity Portraits
Ocean Eyes Images can provide you with treasured images of your bump as it develops. Both glamourous and personal, maternity portrait sessions can include partners and siblings, or just the mother-to-be.
Our female photographers will make you feel at comfortable and relaxed in our studio, keeping you refreshed for the session, or we can come to you if you prefer.
Changes of clothes are encouraged, and black and white images are our specialty in this field.
If you are having a maternity portrait session then it is advised to book your session for about 6-8 weeks (34-36 weeks) before your due date.
On the day of the shoot make sure you have something to eat and drink to avoid faintness, and try to avoid tight clothing that may leave elastic marks on your skin. We recommend plain clothing, in simple colours with no logos or patterns in order to emphasize your bump. If you are bringing your partner and / or other children, try and have their outfits colour co-ordinating with your own.
Whether you choose to opt for a 'Demi Moore' style pose, or to display your bump fully clothed, we will capture some stylish shots you will treasure for a lifetime after your baby is born.
The cost for a maternity portrait is just £45 to include a complimentary 10"x8" print of your choice. This entitles up to 5 family members to take part, but we recommend keeping the shoot participants to immediate family for the best effect.
The shoot will last approximately 1 hour in the studio, but allow an extra 40 minutes if we come to your home for equipment set up and break down. We can use a choice of backdrops, and as mentioned previously, several changes of clothes if desired.
Additional reprints, enlargements and / or canvas prints of your images are available at an additional cost.
Images are available for viewing within 7 days of the session, when you will meet with your photographer and be presented with a computer slide-show of your images and details of a password protected online gallery of your images.
Any reprints / enlargements that you order will then be delivered to you within 14 days of the payment date. Canvas prints, acrylics and mounted / framed prints will be delivered within 28 days of the payment date.
Copies of the DVD slideshow will be available for purchase should you wish to keep a digital copy of all images taken on the shoot as a momento. Or if you prefer, you can purchase printed index sheets of all the images instead.
Ocean Eyes are currently taking bookings for 2008 and 2009. Please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your date.
We can travel within a 30 mile radius of either Birmingham or Redditch. A request for us to travel to locations outside this area will incur an extra fee for travelling expenses, and if necessary, an overnight stay.
Gift vouchers for new mums are available.
