Pregnancy is a thing of beauty, awe and is by far one of the most precious / exciting and overwhelming time in a woman's life . A pregnancy photography session is a stunning way to capture this momentous life-changing event. Maternity photos are not just about a bump , they are a way for you to celebrate the baby you are about to meet, to celebrate your current partner or family, and to celebrate the strength of your bodies . You might be unsure about it now, but if you don’t have a photography session while you’re pregnant, you've lost the chance to create once in a lifetime memories – you can’t get them back.

Photos also trigger memories, feelings, emotion which help you remember more vividly. Even if you don’t care for the memory for yourself, I can assure you that when your children are older, they will be delighted to see the photos of their pregnant mother, while they were growing inside of you.

It can be harder for a dad-to-be to bond with an unborn baby, since the baby is growing inside of you, moving inside you, having hiccups inside of you – and not him. You might feel all warm and fuzzy when those things happen, but he can’t feel it so he doesn't know how wonderful it is. But putting dad in the picture can help him bond with baby a bit more too, and it gives him some special memories of his own – aside from you yelling at him for bringing you a cheese and tomato sandwich when you asked for a cheese, cucumber and pickle sandwich!

Yes, you could just take images at home with your phone / camera, or get them done by a friend or family member. But a professional photographer can create a work of art, taking into consideration the best angles, lighting, effects, focus and depth which can totally transform what would otherwise be just a shot of you, into a story, a feeling, a work of art. Your pregnancy photographs will be graceful ,intimate and capture perfectly your excitement, apprehension and hopes for your new baby.
