Family from the beginning
Great news! If you are looking at this page because you received one of our
mailers for either Bump 2 Baby or My 1st Year, then you can claim your free
photo sessions by calling our offices now or by texting BABYPHOTOS and
your name to 07595 286162. Spaces are limited and because they are free,
they fill up fast, so don’t delay - book now!
Don’t worry if you did not receive one of our flyers, you can still book in and
receive a photo package - just call the studio and we’ll get you registered.
What is Bump 2 Baby?
We think that the maternity “Bump” portrait photo’s are the ideal start to
your child’s picture portfolio. Bumps are photographed in an artistic
style to showcase the beauty and elegance of the miracle going
on inside you.
This is followed up with a baby photography session, which takes
place within the first two weeks after he/she is born capturing the
unmistakeable newborn look.
Bounty pack mums, who receive and respond to one of our mailers are
offered these two sessions free of charge.
Husbands, partners, siblings and other family members are always
welcome to join in and pose with the bump or you can come alone if you
wish.
The sessions are fun, but relaxed and informal and a dressing room is available
to fix hair and make-up prior to the shoot.
When should I come for my bump photos?
The best time for a maternity portrait is around six weeks to a month before you
are due to give birth. If you are registered with Bounty, we will contact you
directly, using the details that you provided when you registered.
If you are not registered with Bounty, please give the studio staff a call.
What should I wear for my bump photos?
That’s entirely up to you but I would recommend wearing something that shows
off the bump, because hiding it under layers of baggy clothes defeats the
object. Some mums choose to wear smaller clothes to make the bump look
bigger. Nearly everyone goes for maternity leggings with t-shirts and roll them
down/up respectively to show off the bump still further.
Some choose to keep the bump under wraps and others go wholly the other
way - we are comfortable with anything that you are but that is up to you to
decide.
You should feel free to discuss your options and how you would like to be
photographed when making the appointment.
It’s your bump and entirely your decision as to how the bump is to be
photographed. Our aim is to get some great looking pictures of the bump in a
relaxed, informal and fun atmosphere. We will guide you with some options
and some poses that work well but we will not pressure you into anything.
Do you do artistic poses?
Yes, we have a variety of poses that we will endeavour to achieve with you.
Some require your partner to be present but yes, is the simple answer to that
question.
What about stretch marks?
A lot of pregnant mums-to-be ask this question because they don’t want to
show off any stretches or blemishes in the pictures. Don’t worry about this at all
- We will fix up your photos so that stretches and blemishes are practically
invisible.
What is My 1st Year?
The first year of baby’s life contains many milestones and stages of
development for your baby, including crawling, learning to sit, sitting up
unaided, standing with or without assistance and sometimes even walking!
Babies grow up very fast and so capturing these moments is essential and that
is where the My 1st Year offers provide simply unbeatable value!
Set in our studio we create a pleasant environment for you and your baby and
we aim to try and make the sessions fun and something to look forward to.
We will take photographs of your newborn during his/her first year. There will
be portrait sittings, at newborn, 6 months and just before the first birthday,
capturing a variety of gorgeous portraits, documenting that very special time
with your new baby.
We have oversized teddy bears and props for your baby to pose with and you
are welcome to bring your own.
If you have other family members who would like to participate in the photo
session, we are happy for them to be involved. It’s great to get grandparents
involved too, which makes the image really special because it has two or
maybe even three generations in it.
What about the competition?
Each year the Click Group, in partnership with Bounty, run a “Bump 2 Baby”
photographer of the year competition. Photographs from these sessions are
automatically entered and there is a prize fund that includes £500 for the mum
and baby to share, so if I win, you win!
You are not obligated to participate in the competition and may opt out if you so
wish.
Please note that only photographs taken as part of the Bump 2 Baby
promotional offer can be entered into this competition.
How much does it cost?
The organisations that we work with have asked us to offer a free maternity and
baby photo shoot for their registered mums. We are proud to work in
association with them and if you registered with Bounty, you can enjoy some
great free offers and other discounts with us.
We also offer other packages to our new mums or mum’s to be. These start at
just £99 and include 1 hour with the photographer, an 8”x12” unmounted print
and a professionally made boxed DVD with some or all of the photographs on
disc, as both a presentation and in print-ready format for you to print or upload
at your leisure. That’s terrific value.
Of course, you may want to purchase other images from your sessions,
enlargements, photo books or photo gifts - ideal presents for family and friends
at Christmas, Mothers day and so on. We also offer beautifully produced
canvasses at substantial discounts.
Booking
Please remember that sessions are by appointment only and subject to
availability. Free sessions do fill up fast and so we recommend to call as soon
as you receive a letter from us to avoid the disappointment of missing out.
If you are interested and would like to book your child in for his/her first photo
sessions, please call our lead photographer on 07595 286162.
