Exclusive Interviews

Hi Fans! We are starting to post our Exclusive interviews with our attendees of the Northern Utah Shoot out we are hosting in the next few weeks. The First two we are posting about are Belly Beautiful Portraits and Paulina Martinez Photography. ENJOY!

Gown: Courtney 

Karen of Belly Beautiful Portraits knew she wanted to go into photography as a child and into her high school days. Prior to being a full time photographer she was a newborn and maternity nurse. During this time she discovered her love of newborn and maternity photography. Looking at her beautiful pictures you would never guess that behind the scenes is organized chaos. There is only so much planning you can do when babies are involved. She says sometimes you schedule several shoots in a month then all the babies come the same week. While this can be crazy she wouldn’t have it any other way. Karen isn’t inspired by one particular thing, instead she finds inspiration all around. The recent loss of her mother has inspired her to capture mothers with their children, she says “One day those children are going to be looking at those pictures when their mothers aren’t around”. Karen started using Sew Trendy about a year and a half ago, she states it was the best business decision and investment she could have made. She loves all the gowns she gets, each one fits her clients body and style in a unique way. Her personal favorite is our Samantha gown in Blush Pink.

Gown: Erin

Paulina of Paulina Martinez Photography got her start in photography by going to school for it, while she was in college getting her degree she learned how much she really loved it. Her passion for maternity shooting is because she thinks it’s the best moment for a women. Paulina is always trying to come up with new ideas for photos. She even goes so far as to state she is a “Propaholic”. Her studio, located in Ogden Utah has many props as well as 22 maternity gowns. She loves to capture every type of memory possible. The biggest inspiration in her life is her family. Paulina started using Sew Trendy about 3 years ago. Her favorite and actually first gown is our Rachel, it has a beautiful train that makes amazing pictures.
