I decided to write a post about this topic because Mother’s Day is coming soon and what better way to celebrate Motherhood from the very beginning when a woman is about to become a mother!

Maternity photography is getting more popular.

When Demi Moore showed off her nude belly in 1991 on the Vanity Fair cover there was some rumour about it, but after that more celebrities and women wanted to be portrayed during this special time. If you are reading this you are probably pregnant and interested (or at least intrigued) in having a nice maternity portrait session. However, I know a lot of you are still a bit reluctant and unsure about this type of photography. I have been there too so I know how you feel, I know your body is going through a lot of changes and you might not feel great but I want you to consider a few things that can help you make up your mind 🙂 At least I hope so!

So why Maternity Photography?

1. Create a special and unforgettable memory. 

You are living a unique experience: growing inside yourself a little baby and carrying it for 9 months. It’s all about the mum-to-be and her big belly, having some nice images of this moment and having a story to tell to your children when they are older. My daughter is only 3 years old but she often looks at my belly photos in the album and says “There is Amy in here”, or “Mum and Amy here”.  And it truly melts my heart when I hear that!

Maternity photography freezes this fleeting moment in time, allowing you to create tangible memories that you and your family can cherish forever.

 2. It’s a unique opportunity, once in a lifetime.

I know you can have a few children and be pregnant again and again, but your maternity portrait session is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Every pregnancy is different and special. You will look different every time. Your belly could have a  different shape or different size, you could have another age. With your first baby, you can have an intimate session with your husband. With the second or third you can have the other children involved in the session too, so it’s more of a family shoot.

   3. Embracing Your Unique Beauty.

I remember someone once saying to me “I can tell if a woman is pregnant just looking at her eyes because they have a special sparkle”. I laughed at first, replying “What? Are you a kind of magician?” But you know what? It’s true. Pregnant women have a particular glow and even if they don’t feel such they are radiant! Let me show your beauty.

Just have fun! Belly or not, it’s all about being themselves, having fun and celebrating this time with your loved ones 🙂

Seeing the stunning images that result from the photoshoot can provide a profound sense of empowerment and self-assurance. It’s a visual affirmation of your incredible journey into motherhood.

So, if you’re considering whether to have maternity photos taken, I encourage you to embrace this moment and create memories that will be cherished for generations to come. Your pregnancy is a work of art, and maternity photography allows you to frame it beautifully.
