Hey Mama’s! Are you looking for a fun, not traditional way to celebrate your pregnancy? Maternity boudoir is for any woman who wants to capture this amazing time in her life. When you’re in the thick of it, it seems like it lasts forever – but nine months in the span of our lifetime isn’t really that long. This exciting time flies right by in the blink of any eye. In a few months from the time you get that happy news you start to feel the little flutter of the first kicks. Then as you grow you see your tummy move. You start thinking about names for this new little life that will be joining the world soon. Aagh! It brings me to tears just thinking about when my daughter and I were one!
Oh don’t get me wrong, we all know there are difficult things about pregnancy too. Swollen feet. Morning sickness – which let’s be real, it should be called round the clock sickness. Doctor’s appointments with uncomfortable positions and instruments. The stress of thinking about everything you still have to DO. Hormones ALL over the place! It’s a time filled with all sorts of emotions, and it can definitely be overwhelming.
A maternity boudoir session is a day for you to relax. Be pampered. Enjoy some time to yourself before you have a little life clinging onto you every minute of the day. Time to be reminded that while you’re going to be a mother, you’re also a beautiful and STRONG woman!
Whether you have several kids and this is your last, or this is the first time you’ve ever been able to experience the myriad of emotions, a maternity boudoir session is a perfect thing to show off that maternal glow. Yep – cliche and cheesy, but true! You are actually glowing my dear! So get in here and let’s capture your amazing light so years from now you can look back on these images and smile remembering the most magical time of your life!
-Maternity Empowerment Muse Call-
Only a $300 retainer is required to hold your spot if you’re chosen which you can use as credit to go towards your collection! *Includes 12 edited digitals in a private online gallery for you to download, share and print. And the best part is you will have the option to put your entire retainer towards a collection on or before your reveal session!
Your Maternity Empowerment session includes:
-Up to a 1.5 hour professional Hair and Makeup Session
-A 2-2.5 hour Maternity Empowerment Photography Experience with Jennifer Lawless at Studio Varenna Boudoir in Agawam, MA with professional posing and facial expression guidance.
-Access to the client closet. I do have a small selection of maternity dresses and several options for wraps. You’re also welcome to bring your own outfits. There is no theme for this muse call so bring whatever makes you feel beautiful.
-A 45 min reveal session to pick your 12 included digitals ($720 value) If you choose to purchase a collection you will choose the images for your chosen collection in addition to your 12 included digitals at this time.
-Your next Empowerment Session fee is on me! Offer good for 1 year from the date of your session. This bonus session fee is transferable meaning you’re more than welcome to give the experience as a gift to a friend. But let's be honest…you’ll be ready for a break and some pampering before babe’s first birthday.
-My muse special deal is 50% off your chosen collection and additional edited digital images.
**Product design will not begin before the balance of your collection is paid in full.
**please note, for regular Empowerment and Luxe Sessions, a collection must be pre-purchased and paid in full at least 21 days prior to your empowerment session date. Ask me about my convenient pre-payment plans for your art collection.
*Muse Empowerment sessions do not require the purchase of an art collection however if you choose not to purchase an art collection your retainer will become null and void after your reveal session is complete.
What’s in it for me:
My muse calls are usually about advertising for upcoming themed sessions or mini sessions. Although sometimes it may also be to test out new concepts, practice with new equipment, or just to get my creative juices flowing again when I get stuck in a creative rut. This Maternity Muse call is specifically to get content to market my maternity empowerment photography sessions. Some of the images we create together will be used in advertisements and social media so you must be willing to sign a model release form. We’ll be able to choose the images I use together at your reveal. A minimum of 6 images must be approved for my promotional use or you will be responsible for the full cost of your services and products.
Products and perks included in this Muse Collection:
You will get to choose 12 fully edited digital images as well as the images for your collection if you purchase one from 50-75 quick edited images that I will be showing you at your reveal (a $720 value). After your reveal it may take up to 3 weeks to complete your final edits. This depends on how many regular sessions I have in my editing queue. It also depends on if you purchase a collection and how many images are included in your collection. *Regular sessions take precedence in my editing queue over muse sessions.
Once all of your images are fully edited, you will receive them in a private online gallery. You will have full print/share rights for your digital images for personal use only. **If you'd like to use your images for commercial use please ask about my commercial use collection options.
If you purchase a collection the edited digital version of each image you choose for your collection will be included in your gallery as a courtesy. Additional digital images are available to add to your collection with the special muse deal of 50% off. The regular price of 1 edited digital image is $60+tax so your price is only $30 per extra digital image.
You will have your next 2024 Empowerment Session fee waived- This offer only applies to the 2 hour Empowerment Session. **The rest of your art collection retainer on your session must be paid within 21 days of your next session date. *Offer expires one year from the date you give birth.
What I need from you:
✨If chosen you must sign your contract which includeds a full copyright release within 48 hours of booking. You must agree to have your face showing in the images that we choose for advertising/social media. At your reveal you will be able to pre approve a minimum of 6 images for me to use for advertising purposes. *If you change your mind after your session, you will be responsible to cover the full cost of the regular session fee and products.
✨All ages (above 21), body types, races and *genders (as long as you are pregnant) are welcome to apply but you must fill out the full application to be considered.
✨Muse calls are not first come first serve. The models will be chosen by me based on the answers you give on this short application. No partial applications will be accepted. In order to ensure I get a variety of faces to represent SVB, you must submit a photo with your application.
✨No previous modeling experience is necessary. In fact I would prefer it if you don’t have any modeling experience! However, you must be patient with me while getting the lighting set up the way I want it, adjust posing, and rework sets/props. You need to be able to follow my instructions and have patience with me as I work out the kinks. The purpose of a muse call is experimentation. It usually does take a bit longer but you’ll have more variation in your images than a regular session.
✨If chosen, you must pay your $300 retainer within 48 hours of booking or you will forfeit your time slot to the next muse in line. No sessions will take place, under any circumstances, without your full $300 retainer on the books. You will have up until the time of your reveal to decide if you’d like to take advantage of the 50% off muse deal on a collection. After your reveal session is complete, if you do not choose to purchase a collection, your retainer becomes null and void. However your 12 edited digitals are yours to keep forever to look back on and remember this most magical time in your life.
Act fast. Only 3 spaces available and once I've selected my muses there won't be another opportunity to score a maternity empowerment session at this amazing price!
If all this sounds great then what are you waiting for??? Let’s get that application in Girl!! See you in the studio!
