Typically we aim for around 30 weeks of pregnancy for maternity portraits. This mom-to-be contacted me in the advanced stages of pregnancy to book our Baby Portrait Plan and decided to include a maternity photo shoot. She was very near term and I was headed out of town for vacation about the time she booked her session. Something told me to scramble schedules and work her in BEFORE I left for vacation -
I just had a feeling …
I am so glad we did just that, while on vacation I received a text that her baby girl had arrived! Had we waited until I returned from vacation, we would have completely missed the moment.
I am so grateful we had the opportunity to capture these moments of motherhood for her and her husband.
And speaking of missing the moment, we designed our Baby Portrait Plan with that in mind. Baby’s first year flies by! Between sleepless nights, new schedules, varying routines, teething, back to work life, and so much more - all the things just blur together and its so easy to miss some of the important things, that’s why our Baby Portrait Plan was created. It is dedicated to capturing the milestones of baby’s first year - from maternity to pulling up to tummy time, to sitting, staring and first birthday cake smash! In addition, we’ve had so many requests over the years for additional sessions during the year of firsts - so our Baby Portrait Plan offers unlimited portrait sessions throughout baby’s first year! You select how often you would like to do portraits and we make it happen! Some clients do monthly milestones, others we see a few times a year and special occasions like Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentines Day, Fall and Spring portraits - it’s truly unlimited, you decide what works best for you!
We love a good tummy shot - it defines baby’s growth during this all important part of motherhood. This is the beginning of a beautiful journey into becoming a momma. :)
