Pregnancy is such an amazing & exciting time & I'm so thrilled to be able to capture it for you! With maternity sessions, my primary focus is showing off the joy that pregnancy brings & the beginning to your new adventure as a momma! This session is designed to celebrate & document the precious new life growing within. This is one of my favorite sessions because it is a combination of glamour, beautiful big bellies & romance! I know that some mommas are hesitant about having maternity photos taken because they aren't sure how they will look in them. Your body is going through a transformation & you may not feel like your actual self. However, it is an absolute fact that carrying a child is one of the most beautiful things in the world & that oh-so-limited time frame should be documented before it's gone! I promise to pose you in a way that will accentuate your own beauty surrounding the joy of that growing baby & fully illustrate just how glowing and radiant you are! If you are concerned about stretch marks & feel a little bigger all over, I can remove any blemishes, including stretch marks and slim you down a little in areas where needed through flattering poses, camera angles & expert retouching skills, which are all apart of your session. Just let me know what your concern is & I'll take care of it for you! Xoxo

*Frequently Asked Questions:*

When should the session take place in my pregnancy?

I recommend to get photos taken when you are big enough to show off your beautiful baby bump, but still comfortable enough to move around & have fun with the shoot! I typically recommend the beginning of the last trimester & hopefully before 34 weeks. But again, it ranges for everyone! I just want to see that beautiful baby bump :)
What should I wear for my maternity shoot?

There are many different options that look absolutely beautiful in maternity pictures. Maxi dresses are great not only because they are comfortable, but they also cover up anything you don't want shown; but can also be pulled against the belly to show off your adorable baby bump! They also look amazing flowing in the wind, which can create a lot of movement & emotion in a still photo. A belt is also a great accessory to wear; it will pull in any loose clothing & creates a waist line that defines your belly. A belt can also look great with any shirt or dress, whether it's flowy or form fitting. Whatever type of clothing you choose to wear, whether it be a dress, shirt, cardigan, ect, wear solid colors for your bump to stand out the most. Since the main focus in your maternity shoot is your bump, don't let anything take the attention away from that, like a pattern or print. If you want to incorporate pattern into your shoot, have your hubby wear a patterned shirt instead, that can complement your outfit. If you feel solid colors are too boring, then bring in some fun, bright & bold accessories like a necklace or scarf.
What should I bring with me to my maternity shoot?

A few changes of clothes- Having options is always nice! Also, depending on the location, different outfits fit better with different backgrounds. It's always better to have too MANY options than non at all!

Props, Props, Props!- Props can be a fun way to add a personal touch to your maternity shoot. Some cute ideas can include; blocks that spell out your baby's name, a pair of baby shoes, an ultrasound picture, your favorite baby outfit, baby's first stuffed animal, balloons, flower headband, a chalk board sign ect.

Manicured Hands!- I know this may seem silly, but your hands play a large part in your maternity shoot! Whether they be resting on your belly, or holding up props, it's important that they are in tip-top shape!

Your family <3- Even if you plan on taking the majority of your pictures with just you & baby, it will still be important to include your hubby or your other children! Taking a few intimate, baby bump featured photos together is a beautiful way to share your joy with the rest of the world!
