Maternity Pictures Inspired By Lithuanian Culture

A look into Lithuanian culture and you’ll quickly see Lithuanians are fond of nature, folk music and national traditions. Influenced by urban traditions, the national costumes of each region have their particular weaving technique,pattern, color, accessory ornamentations, style of tailoring and manner in which they are worn. Women’s outfits consist of a shirt, skirt, bodice and apron. Amber necklaces were highly sought after accessories . Head-dresses worn were either a kerchief, cap or the popularized floral wreaths with ribbons, usually adorning a braided hairstyle .

Our pregnant mom to be depicts all the traditional feels yet modernized to show off her beautiful baby bump . The mood, tranquility and nature surroundings makes you feel like you were back in her motherland . Embracing the beauty of culture and the beauty of a pregnant mom is what this is all about.

The Cultural Maternity Series is a project that four creative women started. Our team consists of a photographer, makeup artist, hairstylist and designer. Together, we research, plan and put our own spin on the chosen culture we are doing. It is about woman empowerment and embracing the culture where they are from and showing off the beautiful journey a mom’s body goes through before having her child .
