You\u2019re counting down the days until your little one arrives! Depending on how you feel at this stage of your pregnancy, you may be unsure about whether you want to invest time and money into professional maternity photos. Maybe you\u2019re self-conscious about the way your body looks or maybe you\u2019re just not sure about the cost of a photo session. While it\u2019s most important to make a decision that\u2019s right for you and your personal needs, there are many reasons why maternity photos are definitely worth the investment and are a choice you won\u2019t regret.\u00a0<\/p>\nCelebrate your pregnancy journey.
\n<\/b>Pregnancy may not be a phase of your life you enjoy, especially in the last few months. As your body grows larger, you may not want any photos of yourself taken and wouldn\u2019t want to share images with friends and family. It can be a challenge watching your body change so much, and it can also be easy to forget just how miraculous and incredible pregnancy really is. A maternity photo session allows you to focus on the new life your body is working so hard to create, instead of the way you look, and can remind you of the excitement and joy that comes with bringing your child into the world.\u00a0\nCapture the joy and anticipation.
\n<\/b>No matter how you feel physically, pregnancy is a time of looking hopefully and delightfully toward the future. In the months and years to come, as you focus on raising your new child, you may forget what it felt like to be eagerly awaiting their arrival. Maternity photos can serve as a reminder of those feelings in the years to come. After all, most women only experience pregnancy a few times in their lives, and chances are you won\u2019t regret having a memento of that special time.\u00a0\nMark this moment in your family\u2019s growth.
\n<\/b>I\u2019m a firm believer that you can never have too many photos of your family. So much of life passes by in a blur, and we often forget more than we remember. Whether this is your first child or your fourth, your pregnancy is a great time to get some family photos with not just you and your partner, but your other children as well. If you take time to do photo sessions on a regular basis, you can chart the growth of your family over the years\u2014something your future self and your children will definitely be thankful for.\u00a0\nReveal the sex or name of your child.
\n<\/b>A professional maternity session can be a fun way to announce either the sex or the name of your child\u2014or even both! There are so many fun and creative ways to announce your little one\u2019s name or sex to the world with photos, and your photographer would be more than happy to help you make that announcement. Scroll through Pinterest for ideas or think about the interests or hobbies you and your partner share as inspiration for telling the world your news.\u00a0\nHave an excuse to get all dressed up.
\n<\/b>Let\u2019s face it: during pregnancy, most of us don\u2019t feel our most beautiful. You may spend a lot of time wearing whatever is most comfortable and a lot less time on your hair and makeup. But maternity photos are the perfect excuse to go all out on your beauty routine, whether that means doing your hair yourself or stopping into a salon to get the perfect hairdo. Pregnancy is a time in many women\u2019s lives when they really need to feel beautiful because they so often don\u2019t. A maternity session allows you to revel in your beauty and strength and to remind yourself of how absolutely stunning you are.\u00a0\nTake time to bond with your partner.
\n<\/b>One of the coolest things about maternity sessions is the interactions between couples as they celebrate the new life they\u2019ve created. Your maternity shoot gives you and your partner a chance to reflect on the life you\u2019ve built together and how much has changed in your relationship since the beginning. Plus, maternity images are a great way to mark a major shift in the life of your family and in who you both are as you transition to parenthood.\u00a0\nGet images worth displaying.
\n<\/b>A lot of people have their wedding photos hanging on the walls of their home, but imagine having images on your walls from every stage in your family\u2019s growth\u2014from marriage to your first child all the way down to when you become grandparents. Maternity photos capture a moment in time that\u2019s just as important as your wedding day. You\u2019re welcoming a new child into your lives and your home\u2014that\u2019s huge! It\u2019s definitely a moment that deserves professional photography, just like your wedding day.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
