TIPS | DIY MATERNITY PHOTO SHOOT- 5 EASY SHOTS! 

Thanks! I love her! She's so natural in front of camera-- will definitely reach out!

Thank you!! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a less than compliant picture counterpart. Congrats on your impending arrival!!! xx

It is a remote control! You just have to change one setting on the camera and it syncs right up, very cool.

I'm in the EXACT same boat!! Photoshopped mixed with originals messes me up as well. I'm going to try to find a better solution!

Thanks Irish!! Congrats on your little "pumpkin"--- so cute!!! You are in store for so much fun. =)

I love watching these videos I just found out I'm pregnant with my first at 22. Just told my family and my fiance is soo excited.

they are so so cute

No, he's gets that every once in a while when we are out!! He'll loved this comment. =)

Awesome, thank you!! That's a great idea to do albums every year.

you killed me when you said "i look like im proudly showing off road kill" hahaha!!

You are the 5th person to mention this-- will definitely check it out!! I'd love to get a bit more organized before the new one comes.

Ha! I will post it right away! I just had to wait 2 years to find the right home for Presley's. =) Thanks so much for watching! xx Elle

I am a professional photographer and blogger and I use Lightroom to organize, sort, and edit my RAW files. After I have exported my Lightroom edited files as .jpegs, I do any additional Photoshop editing. Then, I upload my final edits to Smugmug for additional online storage, sharing and backup. I also upload to Flickr sometimes as well. And like Mary Fielder said below, I also organize and name by date, importing new images into folders YYYY-MM-DD-Event/ClientName. BTW, my identical twin sister introduced me to your videos - and I LOVE you! You are fabulous!

Awe....Nathan has a some competition! So cute. =)

It's just good, natural light!! I'm telling you it makes all of the difference. I look exhausted in "real life".

2:24 "Proudly showing off road kill😂😂

Awe-- best compliment, thank you!!

My favorites were the silhouette and the partner!!

"Proudly showing off road kill" LMAO

I swear Elle never ages she’s so beautiful🥰 I remember when she first posted this vid I’ve been watching for many years and WUM has only gotten better and better and can’t believe how big the kids are now☹️

HA! The "proudly showing off road kill made me santa belly laugh. I say that because I'm 32 weeks pregnant (with a little boy this go round) too! We were pregnant with our little girls at the same time as well. In fact, we're also both brunette vloggers too buuut the similarities stop there though. I don't have the production talent and creativity that you have in your pinky toe. :) Love your videos (and swiping your billiant ideas) I'll be doing a maternity selfie shoot soon. Thanks!

Not yet! Although I'm just a few days away from "full term" at 37 weeks.

I organize my pictures by year and occasions such as holidays/birthdays/even seasons! Love your videos'! I've been following you for years and love seeing all the changes!

Thank you my mom is pregnant and she loves those photos thank you give me the right ideas your channel is awesome

Let's hope!! =)

Ahh Presley is so cute!

Love this !!! Has given me ideas as I am 33 weeks and wanting photo's of belly too 😍 Its my first to so excited to a mum 😊💖

These are so cute! Kindness is the best accessory, Rebecca

Adobe Lightroom is the best! Copy as DNGs that way you're keeping them a higher quality. It automatically save the imports into folders based on date but you can always rename. Oh and it allows you to make some adjustments like you would with camera RAW!

Presley is such a pretty name , where does it come from

Good luck with your new baby boy! Love the kids they are so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so cute you are a great mother! The videos you make are good!

I love photography and I've found that Picasa is AMAZING!!

Thanks Kandy! Do you do this in a program, or just on your hard drive? And yes, the clicker made such a difference!

Totally helps, thank you!!! I will check it out... I don't mind making an investment to solve this problem, it's worth it!

These are really great ideas! My dad is a photographer and has a friend who wants maternity shots. If he decides to do the photo shoot I will definitely show him this video for inspiration.

I have I have seen this video before I gave birth. I am a new mom, my little pumpkin is now 6weeks old. What I just take a belly photo for my first baby. Yes, its true-- " it can be someone's belly." I wish I have thought of that. Now, After seeing this video ... Hope years from now, I have good and amazing ideas popping up in my mind. Your channel works for me, It lets me a lot specially I a new to this a whole thing. Thank you Elle, You are truly real and amazing. Keep it up! xox

OMG! I totally fell in love with your channel and your family ^^

A really good one is to USB those to your your phone and get an app for collages

Such a good idea! And so much cheaper than a professional one. Great video :)

My husband HATES having pictures taken. This might be a good solution for us to get in some maternity pics before baby girl arrives. Thanks for sharing as always Elle! Your pics are adorable!

Thank you!! I'm sure his photos will turn out much better. =) Would love to see them...

If you have a macbook then you can make folders in I-photo and organise you photos, I have been doing it for years and love it :)

You're amazing mom! I just love this channel!

My mom actually used the laundry basket One . It worked so good my mom loved it

I'll check it out Picassa -- thanks for all of the suggestions you guys!! Is there anyone here that thinks iPhoto is *enough*?

There was a what's up mom ad right before the vid

Make sure if you have any questions about pregnant make sure you choose this is the best video

I save/organize my photos on my hard drive, external hard drive, and snapfish the same way first a folder for each year, then each month then if necessary subject within the month. I scrapbook so it helps with that too!

Presley is so cute😆😆😆😆😆

Editing one right now! I think later next week. =)

Love this, thank you for doing! You're so cute and made for TV, very charismatic! Best of luck to you!

You're family just makes me smile :)

You van put the family photos in a thumb drive and name that drive family and all other photos in a different thumb drive and name it others. It really helps.

How to make a remote to take of ross' hat 1. Get his hat 2. Stick one end of a thread to his hat if you want to make it clear thread or dental floss 3. Stick the other end to a remote 4. Pull the thread to take off his hat

Great tips! I'm definitely doing my own photo shoot this time around. Don't want to spend the money and don't want to have to schedule it. I want it to be more impromptu.

hi i know im only little and not a mum but i love your vids my dad split with my mu and i have to entertain myself most days but watching you i get great ideas for me and my brother. an also presley is sooooooooo cute

These were so cute!! It would've looked better is Presley didn't have a marker in her hand and if the little tags weren't covered in marker. 😂😂

LOL!! Best comment and follow-up comment combo ever!! OK, will ping you in a bit. xx E

All of your shoots came out great!

I am 8 years old and english and I love to see your hacks and sometimes I try them :) 🤩

Thanks!! Great idea to organize by occasion-- out of curiosity, where do you store them?

so cute!

I am sure you have already chose a program, but it looks like you have a Mac! I LOVE iPhoto!! It might just be me, but it allows you to tag people and organize in so many different ways!

I do photography and I keep each individual photo shoot in its own folder on my computer :-) nice job!

Does press like the photo now

In 2:08 Pres looks like tess

My favorite photo organizer is Aperture. I have over 10,000 photos and can easily sort by face, date, or most recently uploaded. Along with folders that I put them in

i cant help but smile on everyone of your videos :)

Thank you!!! And please don't sell yourself short, I just checked out your channel and loved it!! I would love to connect-- do you have an e-mail?

Adobe bridge is AMAZING

Elle is my favorite mom out of all of them

Hi, just had to make 700 comments

HA ooooh internet. Only here is the sentence "been following you since you danced alone in a hotel room" ever uttered with the best intentions. Whoops. Sorry about that. yeesh.

Hi Elle I'm a photography student and I use Lightroom to organize my photos. With lot you're able to group your photos by day, subject and even by location.

I always name all my photos and put them in different folders. It takes a while, put, it makes thing SO much easier to find! ;)

my mom is pregnant

Give me a thumbs up for having the same birthday as Presley

Im glad I found this video because you helped me get some ideas to do photos for my girlfriend and our 3rd child its the first time ill have an actual camera instead of a cell phone

Elle!!! Your silhouette looks GORGEOUS😍❤️

Every time I take photos I make a specific album for them, then will put all related albums into one. For example, my puppy. I have a folder titled "Gandalf" then when it's opened there is multiple folders like "first day home" "playground fun" etc. that way specific photos are easier to find

I organise them by writing the date and event for each folder :] hope it helps. Hope the little one arrives soon!

Did you get some good advice about organizing photos? They do accumulate when you're constantly photographing little ones! It would be great to see a video with your recommendations and also info about your camera, editing program, etc. Also, do you use a different camera to vlog and keep with you when you're out with the kids? I'm trying to research cameras cause we have a toddler plus another on the way and I want to document their life with something other than my iPhone! I love your videos and your humor!

Elle, I've used both Faststone Image Viewer (free) or ACDSee (about $80, but there is a free trial) for viewing and organizing. As a photographer myself, I use these programs daily. They both allow you to tag pictures you like and ACDSee let's you tag them with 5 different levels. ACDSee is available on both Mac and Windows and Faststone is only available on Windows. I hope this helps.

Great tips! We'll definitely be taking away a few ideas from this vid.

amazing photo shots love it

Aw, Elle you're glowing!!

Your pictures look great. I'm hate taking pictures of myself so there are precious few of me pregnant, but I do love taking pictures of my kids. I will admit though, even though I look awful - the pictures I have right after my kids are born are some of my favorites. I like to use Shutterfly to make those cute 8x8 books.
