When is the best time to be painted?

The bigger your bump the greater the impact. Depending on how you are feeling, eight months onwards is recommended.

Are the paints harmful to myself or my baby?

The paints are water based consisting of 2 elements - pigment and glycerine. There are no harmful chemicals and no side effects from using them. They are not used for any other purpose than to paint the skin and are solely purchased from make-up outlets. All make-up used is not tested on animals.

How does the paint come off?

The paint is water based and washes off very easily in a shower.

How long will the day be?

It is important to make yourself available for the whole day. We would usually start painting at10am and complete the photo shoot by 3pm, leaving enough time to wash off all the paint. Lunch, snacks and drinks are included throughout the day.

Will I be able to move about?

It's very relaxed. You can be painted in any position that is most comfortable for you.

Who takes the photographs?

I work with both male and female photographers who are highly experienced in the fashion and beauty industry.

Where does the body painting and photo shoot take place?

Most of the time Julia works from her studio in Brighton. However, shoots can also be arranged in London or elsewhere.

What does it cost to be body painted and photographed?

This package starts from £650 if a design from the Embody gallery is applied. The price increases depending on the complexity of a bespoke design, the quantity of prints you would like to order and the location of the shoot.
