I love it when my clients bring their whole selves to a session and truly let THEIR personalities shine….. creating a maternity session that feels uniquely YOU is all about embracing what makes you feel most beautiful, authentic, and connected to this special journey.
Here are some suggestions I offer to make sure your maternity photos reflect YOUR personality and story:
Choose a Meaningful Location: Think about places that hold a special significance—maybe it’s a cozy spot at home, a favorite park, or even a hidden beach. Being somewhere you love will bring an ease and familiarity to your photos.
Wear What Makes You Feel Confident: Whether it’s a flowing gown, jeans and a simple tee, or something bold and colorful, choose an outfit (or multiple!) that lets your personality shine. You don’t have to follow trends; focus on what makes you feel strong and radiant.
Bring Personal Touches: Incorporate items that mean something to you and your family. A sentimental piece of jewelry, instrument, or even a cozy blanket or jumper for those softer shots can add depth and personal significance to your photos.
Include Your Loved Ones: If you’d like, invite your partner, kids, or even pets to join you. Their presence adds authenticity and brings your family’s unique energy to the session.
Communicate and be open with me Your Photographer: Put extra effort into the responses to the questionnaire I send out. Collaborate with me and share your vision and any specific ideas ahead of time. They can help bring your personality into the session with where I can think of prompts, angles, and lighting that make you feel like YOU.
Embrace the Moment: Remember, maternity photos are all about celebrating this moment in time. Let go of expectations, and don’t be afraid to laugh, be playful, or get a little emotional. The more you can lean into how you’re truly feeling, the more your photos will reflect the real you.
Creating a maternity session that’s uniquely yours is a chance to honor this part of your journey in a way that feels personal and true. Whatever you decide, let it be an expression of YOU and your growing family’s story.
