[@phanterleo]

Which month / pregnancy week would you recommend scheduling a maternity shoot? Obviously you want to be far enough along for a nice bump, but also pregnancy gets really hard towards the end (lack of sleep, balance, ect.) and it’s a little unpredictable wether you go into Labor +/-2 weeks before your due date. Also your Model is absolutely stunning! I hope she and her baby are happy and healthy.

[@kseniaprophoto]

You're absolutely right! I talk about it in these videos - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipjZXolpg9WXfdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpWudqSed7SWjas short answer - between 28-36 weeks, but 30-33 weeks is THE PERFECT TIME for most women

[@phanterleo]

@@kseniaprophoto thanks for your reply :) I will check out the other video you recommended.

[@giovisana89]

I learn a lot from you! You are amazing!! CAn you share how to adjust the resolution and measures for ig, Facebook and blogs please , i always got problems to adjusting the resolution for ig

[@kseniaprophoto]

You're welcome! I'm no expert really, I just do 72 dpi for any online uploads, you can do it in photoshop under Image - Image size

[@pikipiki9913]

I love your work

[@kseniaprophoto]

Thank you appreciate your support 🙏

[@carito1]

These are excellent tips.. do you like sharing which lens and distance did you use for it.?

[@kseniaprophoto]

See links in the description. I mostly shoot with Canon 24-70 mm 2.8, Sigma 35 mm 1.4 and Sigma 50 mm 1.4

[@KD_Diary]

I love this❤️ I am new to photoshop that is my biggest struggle. It would be awesome if you could post your editing for this maternity session it looks so natural 😭❤️

[@KD_Diary]

I saw that you have one with all the steps! Thank you. Sorry 😭

[@danyexzea9963]

Thank you so much this was very helpful, please which lens did you use or which lens would you recommend for maternity shoot ?

[@kseniaprophoto]

It really depends on the space where you're shooting. Indoors/studio I often use 24-70 2.8 and 35 or 50 mm 1.4, for outdoors I can go up to 70-200

[@olawaleosoba2884]

Good Job.Please which tripod did you use in this video?

[@kseniaprophoto]

this one amzn.to/33HbCiq - it's a video tripod

[@destinyszedon7416]

With the windows so bright, how to you keep her bright as well? Do you use a flash?

[@kseniaprophoto]

When it's bright outside I just bump up the exposure (make everything brighter) until the skin tone looks bright enough. But you can use flash too, it just doesn't look as natural and totally depends on the look you're going for

Which month is the best shape in maternity photoshoot?

[@kseniaprophoto]

I recommend doing a maternity session between 28-36 weeks, but THE best time is usually around 30-33 weeks

[@lymao8158]

Hola que buen video , que flahs usaste por favor

[@kseniaprophoto]

Hi! I mostly shoot with 24-70 2.8 and 35 mm 1.4 at small indoor locations

[@streetx4817]

what focal lenth did you use here? 24mm? Thank you!

[@kseniaprophoto]

I used my 24-70 mm lens at appx 24-55 mm depending on the composition. I try to shoot at longest focal length possible, unless it's a wide shot that needs to have a lot of negative space

[@jokimwastudio5053]

I love your channel.

[@kseniaprophoto]

Thank you for watching!

[@liliam9889]

Beutifull. What lens did you uso for this session?

[@kseniaprophoto]

Canon 24-70 2.8, but you can use 35 or 50 mm depending on how much space you have

[@liliam9889]

That's my problem, I don't have much space, my 50mm doesn't help me because I need to go back and I can't more. I don't know what lens can I use. I am using my 18-55mm lens but I would like a better lens to use.

[@kseniaprophoto]

27-70 2.8 will be a good choice, but it's an investment
