As a photographer, I’ve had the honor of documenting so many moms-to-be, and I truly believe maternity sessions are an experience every expecting mother should have. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a mom say they regret not taking maternity photos during their first pregnancy. Which is why I am here to give you 3 reasons why you should book a maternity photoshoot to document your maternity season.

1. Cherish the Journey

Your pregnancy might feel like it’s lasting forever, but in reality, it’s such a short chapter in your life – which is why having these photos taken will help you hold and admire the journey your body went through. Maternity photos allow you to embrace and celebrate the incredible journey of pregnancy. It’s a chance to capture the beauty and strength of your growing baby bump. Imagine looking back at these photos and telling yourself “my body did THAT.”

2. Create Lasting Memories

Taking maternity photos creates lasting memories that you and your family can cherish for a lifetime. These images become treasured keepsakes—not just for you, but for your child as well. Imagine your baby one day flipping through an album, seeing the love and anticipation that surrounded their arrival. These photos will tell a story, one that will be cherished for generations – year after year.

3. Empowerment and Confidence

Pregnancy brings so many changes, both physically and emotionally. Some days, you may feel like you are glowing, and other days, you might not recognize who you are anymore. A maternity photoshoot can help boost your self-confidence and empower you by celebrating the incredible miracle your body is creating. It’s a reminder that you are strong, beautiful, and capable.

When to Book Your Maternity Photoshoot

The months leading up to your baby’s arrival are filled with so much anticipation and joy. Don’t miss the chance to freeze these precious moments in time. If you’re planning out your maternity photos, now is the the time to book. I always recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28-34 weeks. This is usually when your belly is beautifully round, but you’re still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session. Plus, if you’re planning to use your maternity photos for baby shower invitations or nursery decor, having them professionally done ensures you’ll have high-quality images ready in time.

Whether you’re dreaming of an outdoor session in nature or a cozy, intimate studio shoot, I’d love to help capture this special moment in your life. Trust me…. you won’t regret capturing these incredible moments that will last a lifetime. Click HERE to inquire, and let’s create beautiful photos together!
