They only have one pair of brown lashes. They dont actually look brown once they are on your eyes but they look more natural since they arent as heavy. If you want black I like #7 by MAC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557892 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 11:17:27 +0000 Sammyfab 557892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: ummm...wow!

I don't have any advice as such but I wanted to say that you are absolutely beautiful in that photo and you will be absolutely beautiful in your maternity shoot. Your outfit sounds perfect. Have a lovely time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557708 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:41:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: so do your makeup as you normally would. Eyeliner/shadow, whatever. Then curl your lashes and even put a bit of mascara on. Put a thin line of glue on the lash. The key is letting it dry a bit and get tacky before you put it on your lid. Like wait 45 seconds or so? They come off suupppeerrr easy. Just peel them off and then peel the glue off the false lashes and then you can use them again! they look great in pics. Oh and touch up your eyeliner after you have put the lashes on and the glue has dried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557706 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:36:34 +0000 Arden 557706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently trying to play with contouring to give me the illusion of a chin... I have a super weak chin and it's always my least favorite thing in photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557705 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:35:16 +0000 Arden 557705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Is it hard to take them off? Do they look real? Are there any tips you have for putting them on? Do you put them on before or after applying eyeliner/eyeshadow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557704 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:34:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I wore them! I wear them for all photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557703 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:32:41 +0000 Arden 557703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey, did anyone wear false eyelashes for photos? I've never worn them but I have some, and people keep telling me to do it for photos. I'm scared of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557702 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:30:54 +0000 Arden 557702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Yup. My sleep schedule is whack. I was asleep until 4PM today.<br /> I asked my midwife how to go about fixing my schedule (since if I don't stay in bed until I wake up naturally, I end up falling asleep standing up leaning against the fridge or something), and she said "Don't. Just sleep when you can, as much as you can. It's going to get screwed up with the baby anyway. Don't worry about it." lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557701 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:29:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: haha! How rude! My neighbor asked me that when I was only like 20 weeks pregnant. I think people are just awkward and can't think of anything else better to say.</p> <p>By the way...isnt it 1:30 am where you are? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557700 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:27:35 +0000 Arden 557700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I think the dozens of people asking if I'm SURE it's not twins has not helped... sheesh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557699 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:23:35 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I grew wide and not out.... :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557698 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:22:35 +0000 Arden 557698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's grown straight out front since that photo. I don't feel fat or unattractive, just SO pregnant! I think it's a cute belly, but awkward. I keep bumping into things and losing my balance... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557697 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:22:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: are you freaking kidding me?

I look flat chested. It's hilarious (and sad). </p> <p>I'm carrying so far out in front that I look really weird and clothes don't hang right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557680 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:06:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: my shoot was only 20-30 minutes and we still got at least three that were frame-worthy.</p> <p>I did it at 37.5 weeks. Scary! SO.BIG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557677 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:03:34 +0000 Arden 557677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing a mini-shoot with a professional (that was all I could afford) and then a longer shoot on Sunday with a young budding photographer trying to build a portfolio. </p> <p>Hopefully between the two I'll get some good shots. :)</p> <p>I'll post them here when I get them back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557672 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:58:51 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 557672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just have fun.

Let me try to find it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557647 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 23:55:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 557647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>did you see my post about my shoot? I had a lot of good tips.</p> <p>good luck and have fun!!! Are you doing them with your DH? I loved that because all we had to do was talk, hug, hold hands and kiss like we naturally do and they came out looking natural and we avoided posed and fake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557595 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 22:38:45 +0000 luckypenny 557595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just have fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557532 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:30:10 +0000 pl0508 557532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do s silhouette shot !!! I adore the one I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-maternity-photos-tomorrow-any-tips#post-557530 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:28:24 +0000 Arden 557530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had taken them a little sooner, because I'm feeling rather giant at almost 35 weeks, but I still want to make the best of them.</p> <p>It's a mini-session (only 30 minutes). I'm planning on wearing a white lace mini-dress (belted) over skinny jeans, and I'm also brings a few other outfits with me - but honestly nothing really fits properly at this stage. </p> <p>Any tips, or things you wish you'd done at your sessions, or things you did do and loved? </p>
