Celebrating Your Journey to Motherhood: Why Maternity Photos Matter

While weddings are one of life’s biggest celebrations, the other is pregnancy. This time is filled with excitement, nesting, and nerves. Lots of nerves. Between setting up the nursery, attending doctor’s appointments, and managing those pregnancy cravings, documenting your growing bump might not be top of mind. But trust me, these photos become treasured family heirlooms and the perfect start to any family photo album!

What to expect for your photoshoot:

  • Best timing: Schedule between 28-34 weeks when your bump is beautifully pronounced
  • Wardrobe: Make sure that you are comfortable when heading into a pregnancy shoot.
  • Location: Don’t push yourself to travel far. Some of the best pregnancy shoots I’ve seen have taken place in and around the home. 
  • Duration: 1-1.5 hours to keep you comfortable

Pro tip: Many parents combine maternity sessions with newborn photography packages for a complete story of their journey to parenthood.

Remember, pregnancy is fleeting but photographs are forever. Let’s capture this beautiful chapter of your life in a relaxed, comfortable setting that celebrates you and your growing family. If you’re in the tri-state area please reach out!
