The entire shooting was inspired from the Great Gatsby era, all glamorous, shiny and fashionable. I really wanted a maxi dress, but all I found were too casual. After some online research, I found this nude Asos maxi sequin dress, who checked all my expectations. Really comfortable, but classy as well, it hugged the bump like a sparkly dream. The garden smelled like heaven, with all the beautiful flowers and green decor, no wonder it is one of the most spectacular places in Bucharest to shoot. 
It is all about lighting, talent, location, love. And perfect props. I chose just a couple of customised symbols, such as the all leather giant E sign studded, and the Emma-Chloe vintage garland I ordered on Etsy, for a memory to be treasured forever. The entire nude vibe was well placed into the vibrant green background, surrounded by artsy decor. 
The second part of the shooting was more fun, still glamorous, due to another Asos piece, one my favourite light pink dresses: the holographic pink number. We moved the party inside, where in all honesty, I’ve never seen anything like it. And I thought I saw it all in terms of decors, with all the events I’ve attended so far. Talented people transformed an old mansion in the middle of Bucharest, to resemble a green oasis, taking floral art to the next level. No wonder this place has become the hottest location in Bucharest for events and floral decors. 
I’ve just picked a few images from the amazing maternity shooting we’ve had, and it was really hard not to upload the entire session. Both Emm and Clau are beautiful people, genuine, kind, and extremely talented, I can’t recommend them enough! I hope you like our adventure so far into pre-parenthood, can’t wait to see baby Emma and enjoy our extended family.
