Fall maternity photos are ALWAYS a good idea if you’re expecting a winter baby. This fall I had the pleasure of meeting up with a family whom I’ve gotten to know so well over the last 20 months (see here!). Charlie has had my heart and is a total sweetie, now he’s going to be a big brother!!! In honor of his little bro joining the family we met during Columbus Day weekend for gorgeous foliage photos. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day.
In these photos, this momma is about 30 weeks. If planning to do Maternity photos I usually suggest to clients anywhere between 28-34 weeks based on how they are feeling. This timeline will vary based on how the pregnant mother is feeling, and what season or style they’d like to do these photos in. I have done maternity photos for clients who went into labor the next day, needless to say the mom felt pretty large and uncomfortable – so planning ahead is always key to a great session.
Maternity photos are honestly beautiful in any season, even indoor in the winter. I love the idea of a pregnancy session in your home as your prep and prepare for your new addition. Maternity photos are a great idea to not only celebrate the new life coming, but to honor the family unit you now have for one last time before the rest of the photos include your new addition. As many of us with multiple children know, that cherished time with just one child is coming to an end. The bond you built is so special and as they become a big brother or sister, capturing your love for them is great. It’s like a mini date-night with your little love!
Reach out around 20 weeks or before if you’re hoping to plan ahead to add a maternity session to your newborn photos! More information here.
