Our opinion : an exceptional contribution to the photographic heritage of this new family, as long as we avoid the pitfall of kitsch! For that, exit the stagings pulled by the hair. In short, we remain natural!
A pregnancy time lapse: nine months in stop motion
In pro language, a time lapse is a video made from photographs taken at different times to present in a short time the evolution of the object photographed over a long period. Applied to the pregnancy, the principle is simple: to be photographed regularly (ideally several times a week) and thus its belly round up all along the video.
A project that of course requires to do it from the beginning of the pregnancy, with a minimum of unity for a successful result: the same background, the same outfit (predict wide and comfortable from the beginning!). Over the months, we can add small bonuses: a sign to indicate the month of pregnancy, echo photos, the revelation of sex ... and at the end of the short film, the boiling baby !
Our opinion : without question the most modern idea! To stand out and have a really personal result, bet on music or better yet, a small scenario.

Inspired by the Blessing Way, a ceremony inspired by the Navarro Indian tradition, the belly molding helps to keep a tangible trace of her belly. pregnant.
The impression taken, ideally made in the 8th or 9th month to have a well round can, lasts about thirty minutes, and is, according to the pros, using plaster strips or alginates (a natural product to algae base), both methods being hypoallergenic. You can mold breasts and belly, one breast and belly, just the belly, one or two hands on the belly ... Once the molding dry, two possibilities: leave it natural or do it decorate with paint, collages.
There are also now ready kits (at Tim Baillou or at Baby Art, about 25 euros). Ideal to share a moment of complicity with the future dad!
Our opinion : a nice idea for lovers of the visual arts. Be careful, however, not to fall in bad taste: it will avoid exposing the molding to everyone, above the fireplace for example ...

This particular piece of art is immortalized during a short photo shoot. A photo that some parents do not hesitate to use for a very personalized invitation, or as a decorative element in the bedroom. baby.
Our opinion : we love the hippie reminiscences of body painting and the ephemeral side of this beautiful artistic tribute to this little being to come.
