The Wet Look: an absolutely stunning 🥵 way to finish off your Maternity Portrait Session here at The Pod!

We save this one for the end. After all the beautiful, perfect, glam portions of the photoshoot, we get messy! Wetting the hair, the sheer white fabrics, and playing with some moody lighting! Pregnancy never felt so sexy!!

Sesame Street: But make it a milk & cookies bathtub 🛁🥛🍪

For Enzo’s “halfway to one” portrait session, mom was so excited to do a bathtub for him! We usually do the tub as the second set of a , but it ended up being so darn cute at this age!! He was all smiles and loved being in the warm water, chowing down ons some chocolate chip cookies!

What’s the secret to wrangling a rambunctious toddler while also having Grandma look fabulous and stress-free?

This session was full of some of the biggest challenges, yet we somehow are always able to work our magic. Between language barriers, a toddler walking off set every 2 seconds, and a few wardrobe malfunctions, we did it!

The secret to happy toddlers?
Make everything seem like it’s their idea. They need something new and exciting every few minutes (or seconds 😅), so you gotta stay fresh with ideas!

Language barrier getting in the way?
Try posing as an example. Mirroring your client and showing them exactly what to do by doing it yourself is very helpful. Hand gestures, body language, physical direction and smiles go a long way. So much of language isn’t even through words!

Wardrobe issues?
First of all, a two-year-old will never leave a shirt tucked in. Embrace the untucked look! 😂
For adults, if buttons are popping, fabrics are stretched, pants are scrunching funny… there’s only so much that can be controlled the minute a toddler comes flying into your lap at full speed. So, do what you can in real time, then have an amazing retoucher on hand (like we do!) to fix up little details in post. 💪

to this perfect first birthday portrait session! Triple C made his big one year appearance in the arena, with the ultimate smash-down on some cake! 💥🥊

It’s so interesting to see what babies will do for their cake smash session. Some leave no crumbs, while others are more like, “what the heck is this thing?” 😂

A few tips and tricks to help your baby’s first birthday session go smoothly:

1. Plan your photo session around baby’s nap time. Sleepy babies are mad babies, and well-rested babies are happy babies!

2. Do a trial run at home! Grab a little cupcake from the bakery at your grocery store and show them that it’s food. Get baby used to the feeling of frosting on their hands and the funny feeling of messy frosting in their fingertips!

3. Have small snacks on standby. If they’re totally uninterested, having a little cheerio or yogurt melt nearby to put on the backside of the cake is one of our secret weapons! They’ll recognize the familiar snack, and while they put that on their mouths, it looks like they are eating cake! 🤭 avoid giving them a huge cracker all at once lol

There’s plenty of more tips and tricks we’ve got up our sleeves, whether that’s for a one year old photoshoot, a newborn baby, a rambunctious toddler, or a sassy teen 😆 We’ve totally got you covered!

When your best friends are having a baby and you’re the only one who knows the gender, there’s a lot of pressure to not slip and accidentally reveal! 😳

This Gender Reveal Photoshoot was so incredibly special.

Their 16 year old dog (and let’s be honest, their first baby) means absolutely everything to them. And so when planning their gender reveal, we thought “how can Zoey be the one to tell them the news?”

Luckily, she didn’t float away with the balloons! Little love bug 💕

Thank you, Carlos & Roxy for trusting us with this incredibly special milestone. We can’t wait to meet your baby girl and continue this journey with you!

💕💕💕

The best time for Gender Reveal Photos is, well, now once you find out the gender! 😆 And that happens around 15-20 weeks. Just make sure your doctor don’t slip up - and give the information to someone you can trust - like us! 😉
