From the moment you see a positive pregnancy test you begin to dream about the day you’ll meet your newest family member. You have all kinds of feelings, from being excited to nerivous. Of course, not everything about pregnancy is pretty, as some women have morning sickness or body swelling or nausea, but it is still a beautiful time in your life and I feel it’s one of the most important moments to remember forever. You have a long long journey ahead of you but the time goes incredibly fast.
As a maternity photographer I encourage moms-to-be to contact the photographer they love into their second trimester and to not miss that opportunity of capturing that special time in your life. I truly treasure and love my maternity photos so much.
Here are 5 reasons you should schedule a maternity photography session!
1.As Your Child Grows, You’ll Love Looking Back on Your Maternity Photos
You know how fast they grow! Wether you have one child or more, you’ll love showing your photos to your kid(s).
2. Your Child Will Be So Happy To See Themselves In Your Maternity Photos
Mamas-to-be don’t always feel beautiful however, I promise you, your child will treasure your maternity photos for a lifetime and see you as a beautiful woman you are. I don’t have any photos of my mom pregnant with me as at that time it wasn’t popular to have maternity photographs and I wish I had those photos to look over through. Your child won’t see the tiredness or swollen ankles, they will see love and excitement you had for them growing inside your belly.
3. You Can Show As Much Or As Little Of Your Belly As You Want
There are many ways to be photographed while you are pregnant. Some of my sessions take place in both at home and outside, which gives you an opportunity to do some sexy photos, or change of an outfit. Whatever you are comfortable with, you will feel and look amazing in your maternity photos, as it is MY job to make you look your best!
4. You Are Amazing!
Growing a human is no small task! All the moms that I get to photograph for their maternity photos, they are amazed at what they see. Turing the camera on them for once reveal an incredibly beautiful moment in their lives. Although I did not feel like that at the time, but by looking back at my photos I am in awe of how my body did all that work!
5.The Focus Is On YOU
Even though my husband is also a photographer, he gets to do it so much as a job that he often forgets or doesn’t prioritize taking photos of me. So, I am always the designated photographer for my family. As a maternity photographer I know how to make you feel beautiful and what positions to put you in while also having fun. Soon, you will have tons of photos of your little one but as moms we are often behind the camera. Take the time to have an incredibly beautiful experience captured because once it’s gone, it’s gone.
