Hello! Welcome to my little space. I absolutely love shooting women, especially during their pregnancy. Why? Simple, I believe there are few things more beautiful that a woman about to transform into a mother. It's pure magic and oh so important to document, here's why:
Timeless Moments: The Importance of Capturing Maternity Photos
Embracing the Beauty of Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time of magic, and profoundly changes you physically and emotionally. It is a time that's filled with anticipation, excitement and sometimes apprehension by not just you but your entire family. Maternity photos offer you the chance to embrace where you are and celebrate the beauty and power that is your body.
Creating Lasting Memories
It may not seem important now, but as time passes and memories fade, these photos will transport you to a time of before your little one entered this world. Maternity photographs of this time are tangible testaments to the power, resilience and love that defines you and your relationship as a mother and matriarch of your family.
When displayed proudly on your walls, they are daily reminders of what what truly matters (especially during those tough teen years). As albums, they are sacred family gifts you hand down to your child and the coming generations - proving the importance of their arrival into this great big world.
Empowering Women
In a world that places unrealistic expectations on women and their bodies, maternity sessions are the perfect way to celebrate the glorious female form. As pregnancy comes to an end, we are often at our most vulnerable and insecure moments. We feel so unlike ourselves: bloated, uncomfortable and out of balance. It is for these reasons that you should do a maternity photo session.
By allowing a professional to document you now, you can step outside yourself and see what so many others see... the beauty, the glory and the power of an expecting mother.
These shoots allow women to embrace the miraculous power of their femininity and celebrate the honor that only a woman has - the power to bring new life into this world.
Choosing the Right Photographer
Choosing to document your pregnancy is of the greatest importance and so is choosing a photographer. Choosing a professional photographer who specializes in studio portraiture turns your moment into an experience that creates timeless artwork you'll be proud to display for years to come.
Some things to consider when selecting the photographer for you are:
- Experience and Technical Expertise: Choose a photographer with experience capturing maternity portraits. There are some extra considerations to make when working with a pregnant woman and you want some who knows and understands a pregnant woman's limitations. Also, review the photographer's portfolio to see they have the skill and training to artistically bring about not just a photo but a piece of artwork that is meant to be displayed with pride.
- Style & Aesthetic: Each photographer has a voice and a style of their own. Choose someone whose work speaks to you and fits with what you have in mind for your home. You may love a photographer, but if their work doesn't blend in with your design aesthetic at home - you'll waste both your time and money on images you won't enjoy for long.
- Comfort & Connection: As I mentioned before, pregnancy has its limitations. It is of upmost importance that you work with someone who creates a warm, enviting environment. You also want to be sure you have a genuine connection with your photographer - it is the comfort level between you and your photographer that shows through in your photographs.
- Professionalism & Reliability: Choose someone who is professional, kind and reliable. Your photographer should be able to consistently deliver the level of imagery they display online and in their portfolio.
Finally...
Pregnancy is one of the most important transition stages in a woman's life. It offers a unique ability to transform not just you but all those around you. This should be celebrated! By choosing a talented professional who specializes in studio portraiture, you recieve timeless, elegant portraits that are much more that photos - they are works of art that celebrate your beauty and power as a woman. You receive, heirlooms that grow more valuable as time passes.
I promise, your grandchildren's children will thank you for such a beautiful treasure. I'd love to hear about your pregnancy and preparations for your little one.
