Bellies to Babies! Bemidji Maternity Photographer Trish Barthorpe

8/25/2017

 
Recently I've been very busy playing with my creative side! I've been custom sewing my very own maternity gowns for my lovely mommies-to-be to wear for there maternity session. They don't have to worry about trying to find something in their closet that looks amazing at 7 plus months pregnant. I have to admit it has been a rather comical journey with my sewing machine. I've done everything from sew things on backwards and inside out to having tug of war matches with my machine when it eats my fabric! Over all I love the final results.
Here is one that I made many mistakes on but in the end I love how versatile it is. I've used this dress on several of my sessions now and it looks great on every single one!

I love this black maternity gown I made! It's so elegant.
I also have a few new gowns that show a bit more belly. I love the bare belly shots! This is a dress I created to really show off that bump. When I saw that bottom fabric I fell in love with this material and  had to make something out of it. I only had a few yards so I had to be pretty careful! I was torn between a maternity skirt or a dress for my Kiddie Couture line.
I decided to go with a maternity skirt with matching top.
The great thing about that is the skirt also works for my little girls!!!

A princess for the day!

I've been busy working on my fall/winter collection of maternity gowns! I am looking for mommies-to-be that are 7-8 month pregnant to receive a complimentary studio maternity session using some of my new creations. No purchase is required, however I do need permission to use them in my  marketing to show them off! Prints and products are additional and if you bundle it with a newborn session you can save even more!

Little newborn boys can be challenging. There seem to be less things that work well with boys. I always love a challenge though. There are many ways I've found to keep it fun and fresh for all my little handsome baby boys. In this image I absolutely love the soft plaid blanket paired with my favorite little teddy bear. I must confess I use this set up all the time! In fact I might have used it for my last  blog post!

Snug little newborn boy.
Another way I love to make it more unique for my babies is to use some of my many custom handmade newborn outfits. It's so fun to see the delight in mom's eyes as I show her all the many options that we can use to dress up her session. Most newborn clothes are too big and just drown out the baby. My outfits are made specifically for this type of thing so they look great. Below is another sample of little Declan sporting one of my little hoodie outfits.

I love this soft color with the blue background.
I've been working on some new newborn boy outfits for the upcoming fall and winter season I can't wait to use them. I even have a cute Mossy Oak type hoodie I can't wait to use on the next little hunter. Don't forget that we have a fantastic Newborn Special  going on right now! Tell all your pregnant friends! There is a small window of time once the baby is born that we can get him/her in for this. Many of my moms contact me before they leave the hospital to ensure a spot on my schedule.

I know I've probably said this a million times but I love  being a professional newborn photographer in Bemidji Minnesota. The ability to create such amazing art for all of my newborn clients using the thing they love most in the world is truly humbling. To think that in the years to come, when the fog of being a new parent wears off, they will have such sweet memories to decorate their home with, fills me with joy.
Incorporating themes from their nursery or drawing from mom or dad's career are just some of the ways I try to include the family into the session. Take for example this image below,
Mom mentioned that her son's room was decorated with maps. I ran into my house to grab the globe my husband had in his man cave. It paired nicely with my little leather sofa and formal backdrop.

I often wonder what these little ones will become? Will Mr. Lucas become a world traveling adventure seeker? His whole life ahead of him with so many possibilities!
Even at this age they have so much personality. Although I prefer to work with them when they are sleeping, some newborns just refuse to do so. Below is my favorite image from his session. He seems to be saying "Fight the Power" resisting sleep at any cost.

Eventually though he did see it my way and I was able to get him snoozing away in my cute little newborn boat prop. I haven't used this one in awhile. I have probably four of five different little boats! (yes I have a problem)

After 20 years as a professional newborn photographer in Bemidji, I have acquired a large stash of props to compliment any session. While some parents have ideas, and props of their own, others are lucky to show up with matching shoes on and their hair combed!
I got you covered one way or the other.
Leave it all up to me, relax and enjoy the experience.

This sweet little girl was super cozy on my rabbit fur rug. I wish it was big enough for me to curl up on.
