***Accepting applications until Friday, 1/9/26 at 12pm***

I’m partnering with local photographer Arkady Brown to create some updated branding imagery that reflects the heart of the care I provide through prenatal massage.

We’re looking for two pregnant mamas to join us for a calm, intentional photoshoot on Wednesday, February 4th, mid-day. This session will focus on capturing the peaceful, nurturing experience of massage during pregnancy.

These images will be used across my website, social media, and print materials to help other mamas feel seen, supported, and empowered to care for their bodies and babies.

What we’re looking for:
– Around 30–36 weeks pregnant as of February 4th
– Comfortable being photographed in a professional, modest, and supportive setting
– Willing to sign a model release
– Based in or near Oakland County, Michigan

We are especially hoping to feature a diverse group of mamas, so all backgrounds, body types, and lived experiences are welcome and encouraged to apply.

As a thank-you, each participant will receive a complimentary prenatal massage from me, with love and gratitude.

If you’re interested, please click the
Prenatal Massage Model Call Questionnaire link in bio.

Feel free to share this with someone who would be a great fit.

Warmly,
Kristen

Your emotions shape your physical experience during pregnancy. 💫

When stress builds up, your body holds tension. This can lead to:
• Back pain
• Headaches
• Poor sleep
• Digestive issues

But here's the beautiful part - when you feel supported and calm, your body responds with:
• Better circulation
• Reduced swelling
• Improved mobility
• Deeper relaxation

Your mental state isn't separate from your physical well-being. They work together.

What's one thing that helps you feel more grounded during pregnancy? 💭
