You’re pregnant – congratulations! You see that gorgeous belly of yours? It’s going to look FABULOUS as your baby grows, and I know many moms will miss that bump once the baby is born. I know I miss mine, that’s for sure.
I often ask moms if they woud have their maternity bump photographed for lovely memories. Most say “no”, and then sadly regret passing up the opportunity once baby is born. Wait until the next baby? Maybe…but what if it’s your last?
When I was pregnant with both of my boys I had maternity sessions done, and I was SO GLAD I did. I loved how much I seemed to be radiant in the photos! And so I offer pregnancy photography portrait sessions for expecting moms. It’s such an exciting time to capture, and you can look amazingly beautiful.
I arrange your session to be around 35-37 weeks, when you’re at your “fullest”, so that we can really enjoy and celebrate your baby bump. Sessions most often take place in your own own home for comfort, though if you have anywhere else in mind (a field full of flowers? A magical forest? Your local beach?) I am always up for new and exciting ideas. I steer towards what one might call trendy and edgy, rather than soft focus, but you can always talk to me about what style you would like.
Pregnancy photography sessions are £75. What does that pay for? Well it gives me the chance to tell you how gorgeous I think you are for up to 2 hours. As well as that, you get a gorgeous online gallery (which of course can be password protected if you’re not feeling confident about showing off your bump) and a selection of low res images for you to use on Facebook, or twitter, or just to show off to your friends and family. If you would like to book a session, all you have to do is get in touch before you get to 32 weeks. This just gives me time to make sure I can cram you in my diary as we only get one shot at it! If you’ve gone past 32 weeks and still want a session, give me a shout anyway and I’ll do all I can to help you out!
If you already have little ones and/or a partner, I actively enc0urage them to get involved. Also, you might want to check out booking a newborn photography session at the same time for a discounted price.
Until then, have fun showing off that beautiful bump of yours…!
