A Close Up Look at Intimate Maternity Photography
Hudson Valley, Westchester, New York City
Intimate maternity photography experiences came about almost 4 years ago, when I was asked about them on a personal request. I hadn’t done anything like that before, but I am always up for a challenge. After the session was complete, I was on a high. I felt empowered by the experience, and I know my clients felt it too.
The images felt powerful and beautiful. And I knew we tapped into something special. So, I began offering intimate maternity sessions, each one being uniquely different. Some had a boudoir undertone, while others were focused more on connection. What I loved most was how each was so different, yet the same in how they made women feel.
After each session I did, women would tell me how beautiful they felt. That meant a lot to me. After three pregnancies myself, I know how the third trimester could feel. To give women an experience where they felt beautiful in their body and celebrate bringing life into this world meant everything.
So what can you expect in an intimate maternity experience? Logistically, these sessions are done in your home and often centered around bedrooms or living spaces. I use light a little more creatively here, so after arriving at your home, I may make suggestions on which spaces could work great. Sessions last anywhere from 60-90 minutes, and can also include a more traditional collection as well.
As for planning, I help here! I can guide you with styling, what to expect, hair/makeup, etc. I recommend us connecting on the phone about a month before your session to go over preferences, anything you are concerned about, likes/ dislikes, and anything else you can think of! We can use light props (candles, flowers, fabrics), or nothing at all. I love getting to hear more of your vision, so you feel your best!
I schedule intimate maternity sessions all year long, and in warmer temperatures they can even be done outside! If you are in the Hudson Valley, Westchester, or NYC areas, and would like more information on your own intimate maternity experience please send me an email. I would love to work with you!
