Pregnancy is a time of anticipation – you are about to hold your sweet baby, and are fully aware of how much things will change. Maternity portraits are a sweet document of this time of waiting, of wondering. Capture the stillness, the fleeting nature of this moment. You are pregnant for less time than your baby is an infant. Showcase this super power that you had before the transcendence of motherhood, which is its own super-talent.
The greatest moment I often witness in these sessions is a future supporting partner, standing in awe of what their wife is about to do. How special it is to to tell this child how excited everyone was for their arrival, by pointing to a print on your wall? Bring your children to the session and document their wonder, silliness and innocence in the face of becoming an elder sibling. Of course, they may not understand at first and you can cherish that when they aren’t sharing their toys.
