Explore Maternity PhotographyBaby shower and Dohale Jevan coverage in Wanowrie — the function, and the kitchen it came out of.
Somebody made all this
Food being prepared, a room being decorated, somebody standing on a chair with tape in their mouth.
That work is usually done by relatives, frequently by the older women in a family, and it is invisible in almost every set of function photographs ever taken.
Arriving an hour before guests rather than at the start of the function captures it, and it is the part families are most pleased to have afterwards.
It also produces photographs of people who are otherwise only in group frames, doing something rather than posing.
It costs an hour of coverage and it is worth more than an hour at the end of the function, which is generally people leaving.
Ask for it when you book, because it changes the start time rather than the length.
It is worth photographing the food properly, not as decoration but as work.
Somebody cooked all of it, frequently over two days, and the usual coverage is a single wide frame of a laid table.
The dishes being made, carried in, and served describe the effort that a table shot does not.
It is also worth photographing whoever is not at the centre of the function.
The people in the kitchen, the ones managing children, the ones who arrived early to help. They are at every function and in almost no photographs of one.
Pointing them out beforehand takes a moment and it is what makes a set feel like a family rather than an event.
Getting ready
Ask us to arrive an hour before guests rather than at the start of the function.
That hour covers the preparation, which is invisible in almost every set of function photographs.
Send a group photograph list as well, for the function itself.

How the session itself works is covered in full on the main baby shower photography page.
Because hours of work go into these functions, usually by relatives, and it is invisible in almost every set. Families are most pleased to have it.
It changes the start time rather than the length. An hour before guests is generally worth more than an hour at the end.

Yes, so you do not have to explain it.
Yes, and home functions photograph well.
As long as you book. Tell us the window.
Yes, and best before the meal starts.
Never. Whatever you booked is the main part of the session and gets done properly. This is an addition, usually ten or fifteen minutes.
It does, and it stops feeling strange about five minutes in. That reluctance is extremely common and it is not a reason to skip it.
No, and preparing would defeat it. The point is the thing as it actually is rather than as it would be if it had been arranged.
Send us the date and what you have in mind, and you get a clear quote for the coverage you actually need.
The preparation is invisible in almost every function set, and it is what families most want back.
