I photographed this mama’s first maternity session and first baby a few years back. I was excited when she contacted me with the news that they were expecting their second! We wanted to involve the whole family in a studio session. During the winter months, the location options for maternity sessions are in-studio like this, a botanical greenhouse where we can keep warm and get the lush greenery like we do outdoors in the spring and summer months, or a lifestyle session in your home. Because baby was due around the holidays, this family wanted to incorporate a touch of Christmas into a few photos. We discussed outfit choices and keeping it simple, I wrapped a bit of greenery around my wicker chair and with the red and green colours in their clothing, it was perfect. I couldn’t resist taking a few images of just big sister in between sets. She was SO GOOD and listened just as phenomenally a few weeks ago when they came in with their new baby for newborn portraits. I’ll have to blog those soon because their sweet new son is beyond adorable.
Maternity sessions are best done between week 32 and 35 so if you are expecting and are wishing for maternity photos, be sure to contact me before then.
Here are a few favourites from this maternity session. Enjoy!
