During the 28 to 36 week window, the pregnant woman typically still feels quite comfortable and standing or posing for photos is less stressful. It is also late enough in pregnancy for the belly to appear clearly nice and round.

This is a very natural and normal feeling that most mothers-to-be experience, especially with their first pregnancy. A little baby is growing inside your body, and with it comes a lot of changes in your body. Through my lens I see these changes as absolutely miraculous and beautiful, and my number one priority as a professional pregnancy photographer is to make you feel and LOOK beautiful in our time together. So be sure you’ll see a difference.

I encourage it! Please bring your husband/partner and any older children to your session. Having your family be a part of your session will allow me to create more family-oriented images where they can show their love for your unborn baby. Intimate photos of just you and your partner should also be considered. I suggest you bring an extra adult to keep the kids occupied while I take you both away, so you can relax undisturbed for the best results.

Plan to remove tight clothing or clothing with elastic at least two hours before your session to avoid marks on your body. Try wearing a loose-fitting dress to keep your skin smooth. This is especially important if you plan to have nude or semi-nude portraits. You are welcome to bring different pieces of clothing. Anything that accentuates your pregnant belly is suitable. Elastic materials or lace are perfect.

The truth is – no one on my site is a professional model, and everyone comes in with the same concern “what should I do?” “So you know I’m awkward, good luck!” I’ve heard it all! I work with you every step of the way, directing you into poses to make you most comfortable during the session, and I guarantee you’ll leave my studio with beautiful pregnancy pictures.
