3 reasons to have a Petite Maternity Session | Seattle maternity Photographer | Brooke Holliday Photography
Petite Maternity Sessions
Maternity Photography may be something that you aren’t considering on your journey to welcoming a new baby into the world. Some things that may be weighing on you is how you look or whether you can spare the expense. Maybe you are experiencing a hard pregnancy or are at high risk.
I had a high risk pregnancy myself and I also didn’t see the need for photographs until a few weeks before delivery. I know what its like to have obstacles when it comes to capturing this special time in life. So I wanted to talk about some of these obstacle and how to avoid them.
How to feel beautiful during a Maternity session
If we are being honest here, and I am, I felt fat during my 4th trimester. This is usually when your photographer will plan to schedule your session. The key to feeling beautiful is finding the right clothes. Ones that make you feel good. No there is no getting around your big belly but girlfriend that belly is holding and protecting your precious cargo. I have suggestions on what to wear to your maternity session here.
Another thing you can do to feel beautiful is having yourself pampered. Get a mani pedi, your hair done and make up if that feels right. Make your self a queen for a day and give yourself all the self care/self love that you deserve. This will for sure put you in the right mind space to rock your Petite Maternity Session.
My Jos as a photographer is also to capture you in a flattering way so trust that I can make you shine. See my portfolio to see more Maternity examples.
Having a Maternity Session while navigating a difficult pregnancy
Like I said before I had a high risk pregnancy and felt really uncomfortable during my last trimester. Petite Maternity Sessions are meant to be shorter to accommodate mamas that can’t go a full hour of shooting and walking. These sessions are flexible as well. We could do a whole session from the comfort of your own bed if you are on bed rest. We can spend the session in the best positions for you and with as minimal movement if that is what you need. Your session needs to fit your needs.
There are a multitude of way and possibilities to make you the most comfortable.
Having a Maternity Session on a budget
I completely understand working with in a budget especially when you have a few years wort of diaper expenses in your near future. Kids are expensive and photography can seem like a luxury sometimes. I would ask you to consider a Petite Maternity Session in this instance.
Petite Sessions are shorter and get to the point while providing you with beautiful photos of yourself while you are carrying your child. This time in life is only a blip on the radar of our lives. It does deserve to be captured, documented and shared with your children.
Perfectly Pairs with a Lifestyle Newborn Session.
