Mommy & Me Model Call Preparation

Hi mama, if you are here, it means that you have been selected for the Mommy & Me Model Call experience. I am so happy for you because you will be able to refresh your photos with the kiddos without having to explain to your partner how to take a good photo 😅

Now let me tell you something, this session is for YOU! You are the star of the show, so if you need to go out and get yourself something that’s going to make you feel like goddess that you are, I encourage it 😉 (but don’t tell your partner I got you out of the monthly budget lol)

In this page, I will leave you some helpful info like photos of the location so you can start feeling the vibe, the colour palette and references of the outfits for you and the little ones, and some tips for the session in general, so we all have a great time and the session runs smoothly.

Location

The session will take place in Mirale Studios (Imane room). The boho decor filled with textures and muted colours is the perfect background for this cozy session. We’ll have plenty of places to play and experiment with poses.

Bright, airy bohemian living room with woven furniture, plant, pillows, and decorative mirrors.
Bohemian-style interior with peacock chair, cozy pillows, arched niche, woven basket planter, and decorative wall art.
Bohemian-style living room with rattan chairs, woven pendant lights, potted palm plants, and a textured pouf.

Poses

I want you to feel comfortable hugging, kissing and cuddling your little bundles of love! This is the moment to squish them hard 😅! Tickle them, praise them, smell them and show them how much you love them (they will love that and so will the camera)!

Colour Palette

Think Spring/Summer collection marries Morocco. We get a mix of textures and neutral colours with some nice vibrant pops of colour.

Colorful dried flowers with color swatches for yellow, orange, pink, lavender, and teal on a green background.
Color palette with six sections: Homebody (orange), Tequila Sunrise (light pink), Spring Water (sky blue), Tropical Breeze (aqua), Flamingo Pink (pink), Florence (peach). Each color includes hex, RGB, and CMYK values.
Color palette featuring blush pink, lime green, yolk yellow, ceramic off-white, and diner red with hex codes.

Outfit Inspiration

I’m looking for boho or cozy casual. Think flowy and light dresses or jeans with an oversized sweater. Here you can see some references. If you need to, you can change in the studio, just get there earlier so you have time to do it calmly, we don’t want a stressed out mama!

Once you have selected the outfits for you and your kiddos, I would really appreciate if you run it by me. You can send a photo to my email at jenblancophotography@gmail.com

Outfit Inspiration for the kiddos

Use these as inspiration. You don’t have to stick to them strictly but they will give you a sense of what I am looking for. Please, don’t dress the kids all in the same colour or pattern, variety is key to create some depth.
