Pregnancy is a time in a women's life where, at times, you just aren't feeling your best. I know and have totally been there too! So much is going on and so much is changing. However, this shouldn't stop you from documenting the most kick-ass thing your body will ever do and the amount of strength you will soon discover that you have. You are a wonder and creating a little life that is beautiful and amazing. Maternity shoots should celebrate the warrior that you are!

Every maternity session has a uniqueness and power. Mama to be, you are so beautiful and strong and I hope you see that every time you see your photos for years to come.

Timing- Capturing that sweet bump without feeling totally huge or exhausted? Aim to shoot towards the end of your second trimester OR the beginning of the second when your bump is super adorable and you still feel comfortable.

Style- Coordinate with your photographer on what outfits to wear and color choices. Try on your outfit(s) in advance so you know you'll feel comfortable.

Pampering- This shoot is a treat to yourself! Pamper yourself with a facial, hairstyle or whatever makes you shine. There is no doubt that you deserve it.

Props- Include things that are special to you. Whether it's a tiny pair of booties you bought for baby or your furry family members. These special treasures are things that bring meaning and you'll love looking back on these sentiments after baby arrives and for years to come.
