Maternity portrait sessions are a special and memorable way to capture the beauty and excitement of your pregnancy journey. Here are a few reasons why you should book a maternity portrait session and how to prepare for it.

1. Document this Special Time: Pregnancy is a fleeting time in your life and booking a maternity portrait session is a great way to preserve and document this special time. You will be able to look back on these portraits in the future and remember this special moment.

2. Celebrate Your Body: Maternity portraits are a way to celebrate your changing body and the amazing things it can do. They can help boost your confidence and self-esteem, especially during a time when your body may feel unfamiliar.

3. Bond with Your Partner: Maternity portraits can also be a great way to bond with your partner and capture the excitement of your journey together.

   

4. Choose the Right Outfit: When preparing for your maternity portrait session, it’s important to choose an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Opt for loose-fitting clothing that showcases your growing belly, and consider wearing something that has personal meaning to you. Here at Leslee Shaw Photography, we have a client closet of gowns and robes you may choose from!

5. Timing is Key: Consider booking your maternity portrait session between your seventh and eight-month of pregnancy. This is a great time because you have a visible baby bump but are still relatively comfortable and able to move around easily.

6. Hire a Professional Photographer: A professional photographer can help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your session, and ensure that your portraits are of high quality. Look for a photographer who specializes in maternity photography and has experience in capturing the beauty of pregnancy.

   

By following these suggestions, you will be well-prepared for your maternity portrait session and ensure that you receive portraits that capture the beauty and excitement of this special time in your life.
