La Rousse Photo

Fun fact: La Rousse means “the redhead” in French — though I’m not a natural redhead! ❤️😘💋

These fine art n**e maternity portraits feel like a natural extension of the bo***ir work I’ve been doing for the past 10 years. Maternity became part of my offerings after I opened my studio in Elysian Park in April 2021.

This type of image will never get old to me. I love the simplicity. I love the quiet strength.

The other day I saw a reel where a woman said she booked a maternity shoot because she had FOMO. And honestly… I kind of hate that phrase.

I get that marketing based on scarcity or urgency (things like “don’t miss out” or “last chance” or “HURRY!”) tends to work, but it’s just not my style.

Yes, maternity shoots are time sensitive. No, you won’t be pregnant forever. But that doesn’t mean you should do something just because everyone else is doing it or because you’re afraid you’ll regret it later.

Forget the FOMO. Do it from a place of love. Do it because you want to. That’s my motto.
