Why You Should Add On a Maternity Session

I know being big and pregnant can be exhausting, to say the least. Maternity pictures may be the last thing on your list. But they are just as important as newborn or wedding photos!

You are growing your baby inside your belly for 9 months! This is such a great milestone to capture in your life and part of your baby’s life. Here are some reasons why you should add a maternity session to your list! 

1. Makes you feel beautiful

This is a great opportunity to get ready and feel beautiful. These past 7 months, you are just focused on feeling the most comfortable, but a maternity session is the best excuse to show off yourself in a gorgeous dress with your makeup and hair done! Some women may not feel their best during pregnancy, so this is the time to show your strength as a woman and show off how beautiful you are! 



2. Mark your growth in your family

Whether you have no kids or three kids already, this is a part in your life where your family is growing. This time in your life deserves to be captured, so you can have it forever. This is such an important milestone in your life that you will not want to miss out remembering.

So much of your life goes by fast. We want to capture as much as we can because as much as it doesn't feel like it now, your pregnancy will be over in just a blink of an eye. Let's face it though… you can also never have enough pictures of your family :) 


3. Displaying images

This is such a great opportunity to start your picture wall in your house. Having photos of your family growing is one of the best decorations you can ever have. This is the best way to show how your family is growing and where you all began. Maternity pictures are almost just as important as photographing your wedding!
