3 Reasons to Book a Professional Maternity Photographer
Pregnancy is a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, anticipation, exhaustion, and everything in between. For many women, it’s not always a time when they feel their most beautiful. But here’s the truth: you deserve to be celebrated, and a professional maternity photographer can capture this incredible chapter in a way that makes you feel truly radiant. My maternity sessions in San Francisco and Marin in the Bay Area, are some of the most special shoots, whether that be in my studio, in-home or outdoors at one of my amazing locations like the session being highlighted here.
Here are three of my top reasons to hire a professional…
1. Expert Posing That Makes You Look and Feel Beautiful
Booking a professional maternity photographer means working with someone who knows how to guide you, even if you’ve always felt "awkward" in front of the camera. I specialize in posing that highlights your natural beauty, making you feel comfortable and confident—no stiff, forced smiles here. I pay attention to the details, from hand placement to flattering angles, ensuring you look your best. And because I’ve worked with so many moms who say, "I’m so awkward in photos," I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to bring out your most genuine, joyful expressions.
2. Pamper Yourself for a Confidence Boost
My sessions are designed to be stress-free, and I encourage you to take some time for yourself. Whether you choose to get your hair and makeup done professionally or keep it simple, it’s an opportunity to feel refreshed. Great lighting and thoughtful styling can make a world of difference, and I’m here to guide you through every step. We can choose outfits that make you feel like yourself, while also highlighting your bump in a beautiful, timeless way. You deserve to feel gorgeous, and sometimes a little pampering is all it takes.
3. Timeless, Joyful Images That Capture Your Story
Professional maternity photography is about more than just pretty pictures. It’s about creating images that tell your story—your excitement, your connection with your partner, and the love that’s already growing for your baby. I aim to create images that are both classic and heartfelt, so that when you look back at them years from now, they still bring a smile to your face. Whether you’re snuggling with your partner under a tree, sharing a laugh, or standing confidently in your power as someone growing a whole freaking baby (!!!), I capture the authentic beauty of this moment.
If you’ve ever thought, "I’m not sure I want maternity photos because I don’t feel my best," let me show you how magical it can be. You deserve to remember this moment—and I’d be honored to capture it for you with my signature style of timeless, joyful photography.
