“Tommy is very personable and an excellent photographer!! He made our shoot super easy by giving us ideas before the big day and took images that made us look and feel like superstars :-). He chose two great locations and allowed us to have two totally different looks that matched our personalities. Our pictures came out great and we are definitely going to have him do another shoot for our baby’s first birthday. I highly recommend him if you want photos that will speak volumes days and years after they are taken.””

“Thomas has an amazing eye for capturing the beauty of women and the glow of pregnancy. With his eye for dramatic lighting he was able to capture some stunning maternity portraits of me. Thank you Thomas!”

Sometime, we have to toot our horn, or at least brag on our clients, and we have to say that we have the best clients ever! They are imaginative and creative in their own rights, and they allow us to come up with creative solutions to their ideas, or they willingly put themselves in our hands to come up with our own ideas.

Whether in studio or on location, Studio Three wants to give you a fun session that provides you with amazing images.

“On this day, your beauty, your glow, is the most important element. Capturing them as the lead-up to the arrival of your precious gift, is what we do.”

“This was not my first photography session with Mr. Thomas. His creative mind is extremely impressive when shooting. I had an idea for my maternity session and Mr. Thomas did an amazing job with capturing the whole concept, as well as adding his own creativity!

I received sooo many compliments and praise. My pictures pretty much went VIRAL! He is the absolute BEST & I will definitely use him again!”

M OM S 2 B E P H OTO G R A P H E R / C R E AT I V E D I R E C TO R Always with a camera by his side, Thomas Colvin, III, spent almost 20 years as a figurative painter who depicted the human condition through light, form, gesture, expression and color. His thoughtprovoking impressionistic imagery often left viewers in awe.

These are the same elements that are evident in his photography.

Thomas Colvin, III

A life-long artist, Thomas began creating images and doing sculpture about the age of 7. With the support of his family, he pursued

his

passion and plunged into opportunities as a creative individual. As an artist, Thomas has his own unique style of “seeing,” one that has been developed through years of investigation into being human…the human being.

“In this new genre, I believe that everything has come full circle for me.

The beauty, the “glow,” the confidence of women is on full display in our maternity sessions.”

“I have always had a passion for seeing beauty.

As I’ve gotten older, it seems to be much easier to see the potential in a person long before they know it exists. This is both a challenge and an absolute joy.”

Preparing for Your Maternity Session

This season, your season, is an exciting time in every woman’s life. It is a time for love and passion about new unborn baby even before they have met. The feeling of growing new life although often followed by pains and aches, makes every new mother glow and shine. What better time and way to capture the joy and excitement than a maternity portrait session.

I like portrait photography and I love working with an expecting mother and her husband or partner to craft beautiful and artistic pregnancy portraits. I feel like each mother deserves to have these moments captured and recorded in framed prints to remind her of the day when she was so in love with her unborn baby.

While we will cover these in the consultation and planning session, I prefer to have them here for you to refer to.

- Know Your Season It is recommended that you plan your session between weeks 31 and 34 of your pregnancy. This is an optimum time as your “bump” should be clearly visible and you will not have arrived at the point of losing any comfort. During that time, you should have a lovely round shape. The transformation of your body is both beautiful and at the same time interesting to capture on photos.

- Consider Including Family Members Don’t be afraid to bring your husband, partner, parents or older children to your session. If you plan to have them both, plan to have your children photographed first and arrange for someone to take them home after that. Having others be part of your session allows the photographer to create more family like images and it is a great time for your older

children to show the love for your unborn baby. You would need the privacy and quiet time for more images with your husband or alone. More intimate maternity portraits require you to feel relaxed and undisturbed, so privacy is something to consider when planning your session.

- Be Creative in Your Concepts/Ideas Spend some time on Google or on Pinterest to see if someone has done something that peaks your interest. If not, give us a call and let us help you come up with something unique.

- Your Experience is Unique: Whether this is your first or fifth, THIS experience will be something new. Make sure that in the consult with your photographer, you put any ideas that you have on the table. Often times, photographers are

able to come up with concepts that will perfectly fit your idea or offer some variations that you may not have considered. Be open and talk to your photographer until you are both on the same page with what will take place and how.

- Plan to Have Your Hair and Makeup Professionally Done Spend some time on Google or on Pinterest to see if someone has done something that peaks your interest.

- A Manicure and Pedicure are Essential Spend some time on Google or on Pinterest to see if someone has done something that peaks your interest.

- Bring a Few Snacks and Water Spend some time on Google or on Pinterest to see if someone has done something that peaks your interest.

- What to Wear Be comfortable. For a studio session, you will be able to change in private. If its an outdoor session that requires a short walk to get to the location, be sure to dress for the walk and change in the provided booth once you have reached the destination.

- Be Punctual It’s always best to arrive just a bit before your scheduled start time. If hair and makeup are to be done on site, you will need to allow for at least 2 hours for that to be completed. For more elaborate work, more time is necessary. If you have decided on an outdoor session, specific times of day matters, unless arrangements are made ahead of time. _________________________________________ 7. Clothing Does Matter: CHANGE 9. Different Looks Are Interesting: CHANGE Plan to bring different clothes and outfits to your session. You would spend at least one hours and you most likely wouldn’t want to appear in the same clothes on all of your images. Having different outfits in your pregnancy photos is a good idea. It will also give you a chance to catch your breath and try different styles. In general, fabrics which adhere to the body shape are best choice so your round belly can be well visible. Stretchy fabrics and clothes which you can

slip into and unzip easily are the best. Another idea is to bring wraps, scarfs or fabric to wrap around your body for more artistic look.

6. Try to Relax and Enjoy the Process: EDIT This is the most important and yet most neglected advise I can give to my clients. Sure you will be excited and would do anything in your power to look great in your images, but if you are not relaxed or uneasy, then this will show into your final photographs. So take a mental not to yourself and plan to relax before the session. Try not to schedule anything to close of too hectic before the session. Go to your favorite spa, pamper yourself with manicure and pedicure, have your hair and makeup done in a salon instead of you trying to do everything before the session. Taking a short nap is another way to feel relaxed and well rested.

Once in the studio and during the session, let the photographer take care of the details. Enjoying the moment and sinking into the excitement will make you look and feel great. This is all what the maternity portrait session is all about. You are beautiful and your maternal glow is amazing. It is great to be mother and you should enjoy every minute of it. You hired a qualified and skilled photographer. Let him take care of the photo shoot.
