When Whitney contacted me to book her maternity session, she knew she wanted to shoot in the field. She was thrilled to be expecting a little boy, and wanted to document her pregnancy since this baby will be her only child.
Whitney came to the studio with her own mother for her maternity fitting two weeks before her session, and we chatted about all things pregnancy and childbirth, and then started going through wardrobe selections. Whitney was excited to use one of the flower crowns in the studio and chose two dresses from the studio wardrobe. Fresh flower crowns are also an option as I have a couple of fantastic local resources available to clients to have one made for their session!
Our session together was so much fun! Whitney was a great sport and told me to have her do anything that would make a beautiful image. At the end of our time together, I asked if she'd be game for lying on the ground. She said, "I'll do whatever you ask because I trust you!" My favorite kind of answer - creativity license makes for the BEST and most fun sessions. When I have a maternity session with just mom participating, we don't have couples photos and as much help to get down on the ground and back up - I remember all too well what it was like trying to get up and down with a pregnant belly.
Whitney loved her images and chose several for wall art in her home and to gift to her mother and grandmother. Here are a few of my favorites - isn't she absolutely gorgeous?!
If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Be sure to view this short 1.5 minute film to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!
