Utmost Couture Maternity Session

If anyone had to ask which type of photo shoot is my favorite, I would have to say Maternity Sessions. The mamas usually come in wearing comfortable clothes and shoes and after they wear the maternity gowns, they’re transformed into beautiful maternity models.

The majority of the mamas always choose the Coco couture dress for their Couture maternity session and every mama wearing that dress look and feel amazing and everything comes together. From getting their hair and makeup done to posing, their Maternity images look stunning. And an amazing example to showcase this was Renee’s session.

For her maternity session, she chose the CoCo ivory dress, which is a designer ruffled tulle gown. These types of designer dresses are known for their showstopping appearance, showcasing tons of ruffles and their fullness. The second dress that she chose for her session was a very sleek black dress that had a short turtleneck and had a teardrop opening at the upper back. I really liked the idea that she chose two different styles for her session, one for being whimsical and a princess feeling and the other dress for a modern feel.

Dee's Maternity Session

Dee wanted a maternity session to capture herself and to capture her with her entire family. We scheduled the session in November at Clove Lakes Park, which is located in Staten Island, NY.

The dress that she chose to wear was a light pink, long sleeve maternity gown that had a sweetheart neckline. She looked gorgeous posing on the pathway and on the bridges. She also posed with her beautiful family on the stone bridge.

Maternity Session at Snug Harbor

I always love to photograph at Snug Harbor, especially in the fall time because the area has beautiful grounds. When Sabrina scheduled her maternity session, she was excited to be photographed at Snug Harbor in Staten Island, NY. She chose to be photographed in a black slim maternity dress with lace on top that I have in my closet. Her second choice for her dress was a modern beige calf length dress with black boots and a black hat that she brought in. I love the looks that she chose on her.

I first photographed Sabrina and her husband at the garden grounds and at the Arch using the black lace maternity gown that she chose. She looked really elegant and gorgeous. I also photographed her at the another flower garden adjacent to the Arch and the Gazebo. Then she changed into her modern maternity dress and we walked towards the bigger houses with pillars. I loved how the images came out and the look of her maternity photo shoot.

Uma's Maternity Session

I’m very honored that my clients travel from Bayonne, NJ to Staten Island for their maternity session. Uma and her husband traveled from Bayonne NJ to capture their maternity session. Their session took place at Snug Harbor Cultural Center in Staten Island and it was such a beautiful session.

For my maternity clients, I offer my expecting mama’s to wear a dress from my client closet to wear during their session. Uma already had a Rose Gold chiffon and sequin dress that she wore for her session. So she chose to wear a Steel Blue maternity gown from my client closet.

At Snug Harbor, we started the session with Uma wearing her Rose Gold gown and it was GORGEOUS!! She was soo elegant and glowing. I photographed her at various locations at Snug Harbor. I enjoyed capturing their love for each other and the excitement that they’re felt while their little one was soon to be arriving.

After about an hour or more capturing them in different locations at Snug Harbor, she changed into the Blue maternity gown to be photographed in front of Connie Gretz’s garden. She loved that the gown had a different feel compared to her Rose Gold gown - she was able to play into the poses while feeling like a Diva. Both her and husband had a great time with this part of the session.

I’m very grateful that Uma hired me to capture her Maternity session - it was great to get to know them and we all had soo much fun while enjoying the different sceneries at Snug Harbor.

Christine's Maternity Journey

I am soo happy and honored that Christine asked me to photograph her Maternity session. We were supposed to photograph at Clove Lake Park in Staten Island however it was raining that day. So we decided to do a studio session and it was a great photo shoot!

I met her husband and they looked amazing for their Maternity pictures. Christine brought in two dresses which were gorgeous. One was a blush velvet A link dress was very unique. And her second dress was boho-style gown which was elegant and relaxed at the same time. Christine looked radiant I can’t wait to meet her little one in a couple of weeks for their newborn session.

Mayra's Maternity Session

I am honored to have photographed Mayra’s Maternity session at Snug Harbor. She wore a gorgeous maroon dress for the first half of her session and she was beautiful in it. Then she changed into a Chicaboo pink dress, which totally changed the feel of the session. She was graceful and was radiant in it.

Please enjoy the images from her session.

*Pink Chicaboo dress is available for my clients to wear for their sessions*
