I had a casting call for expectant mama's who are in their 2nd-3rd trimester pregnancy because I wanted to expand my maternity portfolio. In return, they'd get a free photo shoot and 6 photos with a print release. Not only that, but they get to wear a maternity gown that I bought from http://www.sewtrendyaccessories.com. I got a ton of  emails who wanted to take on this opportunity, but to be fair, I had to choose the first 2 people and Laura was the 2nd person who contacted me in regards to doing this maternity session for me. But, thank you to everyone who emailed me, and I truly thank you all for all the sweet emails, comments, and support.

This is my 1st casting call and the overall experience and session went very well. I'm going to have to do another one as I will be adding more maternity gowns from Sew Trendy Accessories to my maternity clothing wardrobe for photo shoot purposes. I absolutely love their collection. That way, when a mama to be book a maternity session with me, they can just choose whatever gown from the collection that I have and that way they don't have to venture out and buy their own for just a one time event. So far, I have two maternity gowns. I still got a long ways to go to build up my maternity wardrobe for clients, so please bare with me.

Prior to Laura's maternity session, I was checking for the weather days in advance and prayed that it would not rain because we got a lot of rain fall that week; but thank god it didn't. We followed through with the session and I was even more happy that mother nature gave me gorgeous lighting that late evening. It didn't even take me long to post process the photos and I used my two favorite lens during this session, 50mm and the 70-200mm lens, no flash and of course all 'natural' lighting to capture these photos...

If you are an expectant mom and would like to do a maternity photo shoot, please feel free to contact me to book a session.

Love, Choua
