Are maternity photos worth it?
Maternity photos; are they worth it? Your pregnant belly is growing, excitement is building, and you can feel a profound love for this new addition that is about to enter the fold.
But you just aren’t feeling maternity photography.
Maybe you have not enjoyed pregnancy.
Maybe you look in the mirror and have difficulty recognizing yourself.
Maybe you are not feeling confident or that you are “glowing.”
Maybe you have seen gorgeous maternity photos and desire them, but feel this is not possible for you.
While it is important to make a decision that is right for you and your partner, maternity photos are something you won’t regret and do not have the opportunity to redo if you change your mind later. Here are my top reasons for investing in professional maternity photography to preserve this beautiful new chapter.
Celebrate (and document) the journey
Pregnancy is an exciting time in your life, but it may not always feel enjoyable. As your body grows and changes, you may not want any photos taken of yourself; it can be a challenge watching your body change so much. Things get bigger (or smaller), and you’re not feeling like “you.” It can be easy to forget just how miraculous pregnancy and your body is. Maternity photos capture the strength of you and your body, and I do this in a way that flatters and celebrates each mama to be. Maternity photos will forever remind you of this joyous time as you and your partner eagerly await your child’s arrival.
Bond with your partner
A maternity session provides the opportunity to not only celebrate, but to reflect on the life you and your partner have built together - to focus on how much has changed since the beginning of your relationship. Maternity photos are a great way to mark the next chapter in your lives, as you both transition to parenthood together. So, snuggle up, it’s time to celebrate the two of you and the life you have created.
Maternity photos are an excuse to get dolled up!
Not feeling your best? Get the photos! I know that seems like a contradiction, but maternity photos provide an excuse to get dressed up and feel beautiful. I have a client closet of dresses that you have access to with every booked session, so half the work is done! This session will remind you of your inner and outer beauty, and what gal doesn’t enjoy a good hair and makeup session after months of wearing whatever is comfiest. Pregnant bodies are beautiful - I want to help you see that.
Have images worth displaying
So many couples have images of their engagement or wedding day hanging on the walls in their home. Imagine being able to display photos of every stage of your family’s growth. Maternity photos capture a moment in time that is just as special as your wedding day. You’re welcoming a new life into the world - what is bigger than that? Pregnancy is just as deserving of professional photography.
Remember, we only regret the things we don’t do.
