MONA MARANDY
"I am passionate about Maternity and Motherhood photography. Pregnancy is magical to the world but to the one who is pregnant, it simply is not. The truth is, it is a difficult process, and to most women during this time, they feel their worst physically and emotionally. My goal (and slight obsession) during my artistic process is to capture the true beauty, the elegance, the grace, and most importantly, the powerful beauty they all truly possess during this time in their lives."

OUR STYLE
During a photoshoot, we focus on capturing elegant poses, genuine emotions and graceful beauty. All women are beautiful, and our goal is to bring out that beauty with timeless and classic sets. We use strategic studio lighting to create shadows, in order to accentuate the natural beauty of the female figure.

OUR STUDIO
We understand the sensitivity and the necessity to feel relaxed during a Maternity, Motherhood, Beauty or Boudoir photoshoot, which is why we provide a home studio setting in in Los Angeles Ca.
The entire shoot is created to cater to your mental and physical comfort. We provide snacks and refreshments. Our team consists of only females. Usually you will be alone with your photographer for Beauty and Boudoir shoots, unless an assistant is needed. For the Motherhood and Maternity shoots and depending on availability, you and the photographer will be assisted by Lisa Marandy, a certified Labor specialist.

SCHEDULING
Maternity sessions are best captured between 32 and 34 weeks. We recommend that you contact us well in advance, to schedule your preferred date. It will give us the opportunity to track your bump's growth rate. Depending on the artistic nature of some shots, a smaller belly is sometimes ideal and we want to do whatever it takes to make this experience comfortable and magical.
