I had the honor of capturing Emily, Addison, and Mila’s family maternity portraits during the dreamiest Summer sunrise in Atlantic Beach, Florida.

After having my 3 babies, one of my biggest regrets is not capturing my own maternity portraits. Pregnancy is such a surreal and beautiful experience, that I think every momma should be able to look back on and cherish.

Below I’ll be sharing 6 benefits of booking a maternity portrait session.

1. Capturing Memories

Pregnancy is a special and fleeting time in a person’s life, and a maternity session allows you to capture beautiful, artistic photographs that you can look back on and cherish for years to come.

2. Documenting Your Pregnancy

A wonderful way to record your pregnancy and capture the physical changes your body experiences during this time is with a maternity session. Additionally, it’s a wonderful chance to capture your relationship with your partner and your other babies as you get ready to welcome your new child.

3. Celebrating Your Body

A maternity session can help you celebrate and appreciate the changes your body is going through throughout pregnancy, which can be a period of mixed emotions. It’s a chance to appreciate the incredible work your body is doing as it develops and supports a new life.

4. Building Confidence

A maternity session helps increase your confidence and make you feel beautiful and in control during pregnancy, which can sometimes be a time of self-doubt.

5. Creating Heirlooms

A maternity session can result in stunning, beautiful images that can be handed down as keepsakes for later generations to treasure.

6. Bonding with Your Partner

You and your partner (and your littles) may enjoy a maternity session as a way to connect and mark the beginning of your family (or the addition to your family!). It’s an opportunity to bond and think back on the incredible trip you two are now on.

A maternity session is a wonderful way to remember special moments, record your pregnancy, celebrate your body, increase your confidence, make heirlooms, and strengthen your relationship with your partner. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the incredible work your body is doing in nourishing and growing a new life, as well as to capture the bond you and your spouse are developing as you get ready to welcome your new child. These pictures can be kept as treasures for future generations and cherished for years to come.
