Maternity photos are often over looked when it comes to documenting milestones in the motherhood journey. I encourage all women to have a beautiful portrait of their growing belly to look back on and to few treasured images of what this life was before you welcomed a new baby into your world.
Lifestyle maternity photos capture what is now and bring you back to life before baby.
Though there are beautiful gardens and greenery in the Philadelphia area for maternity sessions outside, I believe whole-heartedly that your home is the best backdrop. This is where you live, where you grow, where you do. the. work. This is where you bring your babies home and raise your children. Maternity photography also helps to start the story of your motherhood journey when paired with lifestyle newborn photography.
Maternity photos are a way to show what life has been and what you are waiting for, in a natural, intimate way. We start with lifestyle maternity photography in your home, on the porch, or around the yard. Siblings and pets are around and we are collecting slices of your life as it is. The second part of our in home maternity photo session, we show off your belly and get lots of skin on skin. This is time for woman to feel sexy, celebrated and loved by their partner. We play music, dance and wrap arms around bellies. You will get a moment to breathe and connect with your partner, enjoying an evening together.
If you are thinking about having maternity photos taken, do it.
If you are expecting a baby this year, a guideline for maternity photography sessions is between 27-33 weeks, but always working with the comfort of the mother. Here is a post about when to book your maternity photos.
