Spoiler alert:
THERE ARE NO REASONS NOT TO DO A MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION!
Seriously, there really aren’t any reasons you should not do a maternity photography session! Instead, I’ll go ahead and give you a host of reasons why you SHOULD do a Maternity Photography Session.
Growing a life inside you is one of the most physical, emotional and life altering experiences you will ever go through. It is a time to be celebrated. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, each pregnancy is unique. Not only do I recognize that as a photographer, but also as a mother myself. Entering into a maternity photography session in my Richmond, VA studio is a beautiful and perfect way to honor this moment in time.
1. Honor the Journey into Motherhood
Your body is powerful. Carrying a child is POWERFUL. Pregnancy is full of all sorts of new moments—some will challenge you, some are magical, that literally and figurativel shape you forever. These sessions allow you embrace, celebrate, and reflect upon the transformation you are going through. Maternity photography sessions are so much more than pretty pictures; it’s about honoring your experience. While it’s true that you may not like all the ways it is or will change your body, one day you will miss this moment.

3. Create a Legacy for Your Child
Do you ever flip through old family picture albums. Can you imagine your child one day going through old pictures and seeing just how deeply loved they were before they even took their first breath? My maternity photography sessions are designed to tell a story—your story, their story from the beginning. It’s a gift they never knew they wanted and would cherish so fondly.

You already know that pregnancy changes you in incredible ways. What if you could see yourself with fresh eyes? You would see the strong, radiant, and beautiful woman whose body perform miracles that I see.
