Maternity Photography

 

Maternity Photography

As a Raleigh maternity photographer offering my services in the Holly Springs, Cary, Apex, Fuquay-Varina, and surrounding areas, it is always a pleasure to meet parents who are expecting a baby! I love meeting new parents and also love my returning clients as I watch their families grow. To be a part of that and capture these beautiful pregnancy photos is an honor to me!

I really take my time to guide you through the process of a maternity shoot. I know for some, the thought of having pictures taken is daunting. There are many things expecting parents want to know about having pictures taken during their pregnancy. I am here to always answer any questions or concerns you have. I just want you to enjoy your photoshoot and leave it up to me to make sure you get gorgeous maternity pictures. I will guide you the whole way. I will help you with posing, being natural, and capturing both candid and posed shots. Let me guide you, much like a wedding photographer does. It is my job to make sure you are posed correctly, with the right posture, angles, and lighting. The lighting is essential and the angles I shoot are flattering. It is so important to me that you feel comfortable, and that you have fun and I capture those natural laughs and smiles, the way you look at each other, and the love you have for each other. I want you to see through my camera lens the love that shows between you. Especially during this exciting time of expecting a baby. Let me take all concerns away from you, and just get ready to have a lot of fun!

Maternity photography is a huge passion of mine. I truly enjoy the whole process of getting to know you and making sure you have the best photoshoot possible. This is why I offer a selection of gowns for you to use free for your shoot. This saves you time and money from having to shop for that perfect maternity gown. My selection of gowns is over 40 maternity dresses of all colors, shapes, and sizes. I am here to help you with the gown choices and also give any recommendations on what your partner or siblings could wear during the shoot.

When should I book my maternity shoot? This is a question I am often asked. I recommend booking your shoot as soon as you know you have found the right photographer for the job. Make sure you get on the schedule and have a few backup dates for challenging weather conditions. I do offer both studio maternity shoots and also outdoor maternity shoots. I personally prefer the great outdoors where we can have a variety of natural backgrounds. Maternity shoots are best done between 32-34 weeks.

Can my partner be in the shoot? YES!! Absolutely, I encourage your partner to join in the shoot. We will do a variety of poses that include just mom, mom and dad, mom and sibling (if you have a sibling), and then mom, dad, and sibling. I want to capture every single moment possible! And you can even bring your 4 legged best friends! Yes, you are welcome to bring your dog/s to the photoshoot! I promise you, we will have fun!! I promise you will laugh and feel comfortable with me from the moment we meet. There will be no awkward silences or standing around not knowing what to do. This is my job, I know what I am doing and I will make sure you have a great experience!
