Why Maternity Sessions are So Special and Why You Should Do One
I hear from friends, family and clients all the time that they wish they had taken maternity photos. You don’t realize it in the moment, but pregnancy goes by SO fast, and sadly, maternity photos are time-sensitive and not something you can “just do later.” I want nothing more as a maternity photographer in Orange County than to be able to make sure you are able to preserve the memories from this special time.
Whether this is your first baby, second, or your last, you are going to want to remember this time in your life. Each baby is so special, each entering into your family with his/her own story. That’s worth celebrating.
With your first, you don’t know what to expect. Everything is exciting and the days of it just being you and your partner are coming to a close. But, with that comes the most exciting adventure. Celebrate the love you share and all that comes with anticipating the arrival of your firstborn!
If it’s not your first, you know. You know just how fast it all goes and how much you don’t want to forget what it was like. Take this time to celebrate your family dynamic as it is, and create memories with your older children. Their whole world is about to change, so having this special time with Mom and Dad before their baby brother or sister arrives is so special.
It may seem like maternity photos are more for you right now and not necessary, but years from now, they will be such a priceless gift for your son and/or daughter. I promise you’ll never regret taking them.
Kennedy Family Maternity Session
These three could not be more excited for their baby girl to join them! We met up for an outdoor maternity session in Irvine. It was a beautiful night with a golden hour sunset that did not disappoint!
Big brother, Greyson, is SO sweet and truly just the happiest little boy. He was all smiles, making my job pretty easy! I cannot wait to see him with his sister soon for her newborn session. We’ll be documenting her first year, adding to her first-year album after each session. I’ve been designing more and more albums lately and I love it!
Hair and makeup were provided for Mom and wardrobe for the family borrowed from the client closet.
