Why maternity photography is worth it

Why Maternity Photos Are Totally Worth It (Even If You’re Not Feeling It Yet)

You Might Not Feel Radiant—But You Totally Are

Let’s be honest—pregnancy can be beautiful and brutal. You’re tired, uncomfortable (my round ligament was angry every pregnancy—what about you?), and maybe the last thing you want is to be in front of a camera. I get it. But hear me out: there’s something really special about freezing this moment in time. Your body is doing something incredible, and you’ll be so glad you documented it—and so will your kids.

I’m someone who’s always on the move, and if I’m not being productive, I feel guilty. My husband had to constantly remind me, “You’re growing a whole human—that’s enough.” And he was right. So yes, rest is okay. Craving chocolate cake is okay. And capturing this season? Definitely okay. In fact, it’s worth celebrating.

These Photos Aren’t Just for You

Sure, maternity photos are for you—but they’re also for your baby. Someday, they’ll look back and see how loved they were before they were even born. And honestly, you’ll look back too—maybe notice how young you looked or how strong you were—and be grateful you have those memories saved. My kids love seeing photos of me pregnant with them. It becomes part of their story, too.

You Deserve to Be Celebrated

So much of pregnancy is focused on prepping for baby—buying the gear, washing the tiny clothes, researching all the things. A maternity session is one of the few things that’s just about you. You get to slow down, dress up, feel beautiful, and actually enjoy the moment. And yes—if you want a little pampering, I work with an amazing hair and makeup artist to help you feel your absolute best.I believe SO much that maternity photography is worth it that you get a 2 for 1 booking fee when you book your sessions together. Go ahead and put yourself first and book these amazing memories now.
