M + S Studio Maternity Session
Ahh, studio maternity sessions. I always enjoy these. Call me the jealous type, but since I only offer Maternity Sessions in my Bump To Baby Plan, I can always look forward to meeting a new baby a few weeks later.
This maternity session was lots of fun to shoot in my new studio, which is located in Sherwood NW. I love having an entire closet of maternity gowns for my moms-to-be to go through and choose the gowns they'd like to wear for their sessions.
This wonderful couple was expecting their very first baby girl and I could tell how excited they were to meet her. Mom & Dad were fantastic for their session. I know that being in front of a camera can be a little bit of a vulnerable place. But they did great, and I was easily able to guide them into beautiful poses that turned out gorgeous!
Putting together their gallery was sugar for my soul. There were so many beautiful images to pick from and such a great variety of poses and setups! They loved their maternity photos. I could see the excitement glitter in their eyes as we started chatting about the newborn session and how they couldn't wait to meet their baby girl! It would be long before this duo became an adorable trio...
*sigh*
Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my job?!

Why Should I Book A Maternity Session?
"I'm not that photogenic."
(Girl, but you ARE!)
There is just something so special about expecting your first baby. I remember when I first found out that I was pregnant with my first. Those little pink lines showed up on the test and I felt the world shrink around me. Oh my goodness!
It was excitement.
It was fear.
It was "oh my gosh, I'm going to have to be responsible for a teeny, tiny, pooping, eating, crying, human being. I'm going to have to do the adultiest adulting thing ever and raise a human."
Scary. Intriguing. Exciting. But scary.
But as the belly grows, so does the anticipation and excitement. You kinda sorta start to figure out what to expect but at the same time, you have no idea what to expect. But you imagine meeting your baby for the first time and as that due date draws closer and closer, you can't help but get more and more excited.
Maternity Sessions are such a beautiful way to capture that excitement. A lot of first-time parents who come to the studio for their maternity sessions talk about how they feel a little bit nervous about having a baby. But, I can always see that excitement overpower that fear. There's that glow. THAT glow.
A Maternity Session will:
... make you feel great about yourself when you see stunning portraits of your incredible self.
... get you excited and ready to meet your baby.
... bring closeness between you and your partner as you both dwell in a moment of anticipation together.
... create the longest-lasting keepsake of your pregnancy you can ever have (aside from your baby - haha!)
These are the powerful moments worth capturing. Let's do it together!
