“Before you were conceived, I wanted you
Before you were born, I loved you
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you,
This is the miracle of Mother’s Love…”
Maureen Hawkins
Having a baby is one of the most amazing moments of your life. Using a professional maternity photographer is a great way to save them. It is so close to your child’s birth, you can feel its every move. It’s nearly like holding your baby in your own hands. Technically it will be your first family photograph!
Every pregnancy needs and deserves the same amount of attention. A typical pregnancy shoot will last around two hours (with as many breaks for you as the baby dictates!). We are pretty loose on timings to make sure everybody stays relaxed.
Recommended time to book maternity portrait session about 4-6 weeks before your due date. This will give us a decent sized “bump” to show, but it won’t be too big so you will feel fairly comfortable. If you book maternity session too close to due date we might end up with newborn session at the same time.
Don’t worry about stretch marks, most women have them when pregnant, everything is captured digitally and these can be airbrushed out so you’ll have a beautiful maternity photo to show off!
