Congrats! You're expecting a new addition to your family! What an exciting season of life!
Let's be honest though, pregnancy can also feel overwhelming, chaotic, and exhausting. As a Philadelphia/South Jersey maternity photographer, I've heard just about every reason why moms-to-be don't want to book maternity photos.
"I don't feel pretty."
"I'm too tired."
"I've gained too much weight."
"I'll just wait until the baby gets here."
Trust me...I get it.
When I was pregnant with my oldest, I was completely against the idea of maternity photos too. I didn't feel like myself, and stepping in front of the camera was the last thing I wanted to do. But looking back, I wish I had documented that season!
Pregnancy is only a small chapter in your story, yet it's one of the most transformative. It's the season where you're growing not only a tiny human, but also becoming a new version of yourself.
So if you've been making excuses, consider this your sign. Here are my top 3 reasons why you SHOULDN’T skip out on these.
You’ll be surprised how stunning you look!
I can’t tell you how many times I hear WOW THAT’S ME?! Hiring a professional maternity photographer is different from taking your photo in the bathroom mirror. You don’t have to know how to pose or be a professional model. We know how to use light, focal length, and natural posing to capture you at your most beautiful! I even offer a studio wardrobe collection full of gorgeous dresses that photograph well and flatter my clients.
You (AND your kids) will love looking back at your Maternity Portraits!
My kids love looking at photographs of me when I was pregnant with them! . For them, it was exciting to catch a glimpse of life before them and preparing for them. When I looked through these photos with them, it gave me time to reflect on my body’s incredible work during those long months of pregnancy. I found that I valued these few pregnancy photos and appreciated my pregnant body in a new way!
Your South Jersey Maternity Session will be EASIER than you think!
Many of my clients are relieved to hear that their maternity session will take just 60-90 minutes. My Maternity sessions don’t require elaborate costumes or props (unless you WANT to use them) You can choose to do your own hair and makeup or hire a trusted make up artist to come to your home before the session. I have a gorgeous selection of maternity dresses and robes in the studio collection, so you won’t even need to go shopping. Most importantly, I give you constant direction throughout the session so that we get flattering and natural portraits, and you are never left wondering what to do in front of the camera!
