Why I recommend maternity photos to my clients

Do you wonder if you should get maternity photos taken?


I strongly believe that every expectant mother should have a maternity session scheduled to celebrate that life you are are growing. Being pregnant isn’t easy, it’s hard work! And there are so many less than ideal/photo worthy moments during those 40 weeks. But taking the time to celebrate your pregnancy is something that no mom will regret.

Here are 5 reasons why I believe you should schedule a maternity photo session

Celebration   

Pregnancy isn’t easy, but you are growing a little human! Celebrate this short lived miraculous time in your life with a photo session.

This is a gift to the child you are carrying

The photos that you take while pregnant will be heirloom treasures for your baby. They will want to see when they were inside your womb when they are children, and later when they’re becoming parents themselves. Having these photos to share with them will be a true gift.

Capture the now of your family dynamic

Whether this is your first pregnancy or you already have children, your family dynamic is going to change. Take the time to document the quiet moments of you and your spouse awaiting the arrival of your first born. Also celebrate your children with your bump. When they pat the baby, read to them, or give them kisses, these are moments to treasure before adding another kiddo to your family. Seeing a mom holding a toddler with her baby bump just melts my heart every time.

To Remember

So many things we think we’ll remember, but as time goes on the crispness of the memories fade. With maternity photos in hand you will be able to go back in time to how it felt celebrating and anticipating your little ones arrival.

To share with loved ones now

*Also, during the time of Covid-19 we are all unfortunately unable to see many extended family members. By beautifully capturing you while you’re expecting, you can share your pregnancy with those family members you can’t visit right now. 

I encourage you to schedule a maternity session with me in Portland Oregon, or another one of the amazing photographers in our area! You won’t regret it!
