SPOKANE MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER: Why should I book a maternity session with my newborn session?

In-home Maternity Session in Spokane, Wa

Maternity sessions go so well with newborn sessions for preserving the memories of these fleeting times. Pregnancy and the newborn phase really do fly by in kind of a blur with all of the lack of sleep and hormone fluctuations. Having pictures taken really helps preserve the memories so that you can always look back on this period in time.

Booking a maternity session with your newborn session has other perks as well, especially when both are booked with the same photographer. A maternity session allows me to get to know you and your family prior to your newborn session when things can be a little more raw and emotional. Maternity sessions give me an opportunity to connect with your older children so that they aren’t thrown off by my presence and I’m not a complete stranger when the newborn photos take place later on, this is especially useful for households with toddlers.

So many women hide from the camera while pregnant (I did it too!). Pregnancy is a time to honor all that your body is doing as it’s changing over nine months and then beyond into postpartum with your new baby. A maternity session is an opportunity to have beautiful pictures of your pregnancy for you and your unborn child to cherish later on years down the road. You’ll be glad to have the pictures once you’re not pregnant anymore. You also may find that the pictures give you more confidence as your pregnancy progresses- kind of like a reminder that your are beautiful and what you’re doing is amazing even when you may not feel like it (that was my experience anyways!).
