like any other pregnant mommy, i'd want a professional to capture images of me and my tummy. but, i thought to myself, why not make my own photoshoot?
so i did. :D and you can do it yourself, too!
here's a list of what you need:
a good camera
tripod
room with wide windows
time (between 9am-11am)
cloth (big enough to use as costume)
cloth (bigger enough to use as background)
masking tape
and last but not the least, an assistant a.k.a. your photographer (in my case, my niece - who was also my hair stylist)
i fixed my room a bit and turned it into a makeshift studio. prepped everything then worked on me - took a quick bath, put on make-up (while my niece was braiding my hair), wore my bandeau and cycling shorts, then figured out how to wear the cloth.
one quick tip before you do this: check out some pegs. i didn't get to see any inspiration before we started so it was pretty much an anything-goes shoot. but it turned out great! i just need to install photoshop and edit the pix.
check out the unedited photos from my diy shoot!
and here i am with my niece ayel, who was really helpful and game!
the pix just need editing and they're good to go! whatcha think? :D
total cost: php20 for the white cloth (the bigger cloth is a blanket, hihi).
