Let’s talk maternity photos! You might be asking - “What kind of maternity session should I do?” or “What style of maternity shoot is right for me?”
There are so many ways to do it, and it’s my goal as a photographer to make you feel as though we’ve captured this time in a way that’s just as special and unique as the experience itself.
Whether you want to do it solo, or with a partner or your family - it’s your body that’s growing and changing so how you want to document it is entirely up to you. 💕
Here are some options, along with some images from previous sessions, to consider:
in-home -
cozy, intimate
an in-home maternity session has more of a vulnerability to it. these sessions don’t require much as far as outfits, or styling, but really focus on the body and documenting the magic that your body is doing. there is a calm and a tenderness to these sessions.
lifestyle
in-home maternity can also be brighter and feel more like a lifestyle documentation of you in your home! on your own, or with your partner, it can document the space you’ll be bringing your new baby into.
in-studio -
bold, editorial
what your body is doing at this time is magic - so why not treat it like the art it is! an in-studio maternity session can boldly showcase the beauty of your growing babe.
relaxed, lifestyle
an in-studio maternity session can also feel more home-y. maybe you already plan on doing an in-home newborn session and want a different location. this can be your home away from home to capture these months of prepping for your new little one!
outside -
whether it’s somewhere special to you, or simply somewhere pretty
an outdoor maternity session can be as much of an adventure as you want it to be. maybe there’s a place you like to hike that you want to incorporate into this experience, or maybe you’re just a water-baby yourself and feel at home next to a lake. in minnesota, especially, there are no shortage of beautiful outdoor locations to shoot at.
fun options? yes please! -
make it a vibe! let’s go to the fair, let’s lounge by the pool, let’s dress up!
every choice is a good choice - just pick whatever feels most true to you 🌼
