MATERNITY PHOTO-SESSION AND PHOTOSHOP

Pregnancy without questions is one of the most important part in a woman’s life. While you may be lucky enough to enjoy some perks, like glowing skin, beautiful hair, and a cute baby bump, you’re also going to see the downsides of pregnancy – swollen ankles, stretch marks and stripes on your body, dark spots on your face and a rollercoaster of mood swings:( Since expectant moms often aren’t looking or feeling their best, they may question whether they should take maternity photos at all.

If you don’t feel like you’re rocking this whole pregnancy thing, you should still have maternity photos taken. I can promise you an amazing experience during your session with Liliya Lubenkova Portraits and stunning images to remember and cherish your memories about this time.

First, my talented makeup artist will do her best to cover or improve any skin imperfections you have, and from there I will be working with studio light and posing to bring out the most flattering image of you.

As the final step, Photoshop will be used in postproduction to touch up small details.

Let’s talk about editing today ❤️what is too much skin/body editing? Where is the line between too much and not enough ?

For me it is always a client’s decision. I do my regular skin retouching for everyone - removing small skin imperfections, veins and etc. Some clients want to have it more - so skin is perfect and glowing.

Some clients prefer to have it natural by keeping stretch marks, veins and under eye wrinkles non-retouched.

Which one is better? Which one is a must have? To be honest, both are ok! I will follow my client wishes whatever they like more ❤️ my goals are to make them happy and satisfied with the final photos. Give them something they will cherish for many years ahead and proudly show to their friends and family ❤️

What do you think? How do you like photos: more retouched or natural looking?

Even though pregnancy can have its less-than-enjoyable moments, your body is doing magic by creating a new human right in this moment. You’ll never regret documenting it with maternity photos and I will be happy to help you look and feel gorgeous during your session in my Vancouver studio!
