Believe it or not, most women will miss their bump! Even if your pregnancy has been hard or your just don’t feel pretty, I promise you will miss being pregnant so make sure to document this amazing time in your life! Many women are blessed with beautiful thick hair and glowing skin and cute baby bumps; however, others are not. Don’t worry though, your maternity photographer’s goal is to tell your story in the most beautiful way possible posing you in the most flattering way. They will style and design every setup that you wish – from a mixture of high-designer looks, creative new designs, and timeless art pieces. They also should work closely with you on your ideas, and expectations and will make sure your vision becomes a reality. Each pregnancy is unique and beautiful as each expecting mama!
Most women are shocked at how beautiful they look during their session when they see a sneak peek from their photographer’s camera during the session. Being dressed in ways that accentuate your bump, having your hair and makeup done by a professional and even getting a mani/pedi can be just what you need if you are experiencing any pregnancy blues.
Another reason to book a maternity session is having your partner join you for the session can strengthen your bond. Not only between the two of you but also between your baby and them. Most women, instantly form a bond with your growing baby, but it can be hard for your partner to relate since they are on the outside looking in. Having them join you at the session can develop an emotional bond with your baby and reestablish a connection between you two as your family grows.
Lastly, as your child grows, it is so fun to reminisce with them and be able to show them how they looked in your tummy. As they grow older and start families of their own, having these memories is the greatest legacy a family can share. The old saying, a picture says a thousand words, takes on new meaning as the generations continue. So while you may not feel your best or think you’re not pretty at the moment, step outside of that frame of mind, pamper yourself book a maternity photographer you connect with and see in portraits what others are seeing of you- being a strong, beautiful mama- feeling proud of what your body can do and honoring it!
