Personalizing The Way You Remember Your Maternity Experience
Hudson Valley Maternity Photographer
The maternity experience is incredibly personal for each of us. And there are so many ways in which we can document a pregnancy. Indoors or outside? Intimate or with long dresses? There is truly no right or wrong way. I also want to dismantle any belief that you should do anything a certain way. This is your experience and your memories. I love talking with you to come up with a custom collection that will become treasured keepsakes as the years go by.
So, I’d like you to think about, where do you want to be? How do you feel most beautiful in your body? I photograph pregnancy all the time, and yet I am always struck by each individual woman and the beauty and vulnerability they bring to each session. That is really the start to creating beautiful art together.
The two most popular ways that I photograph pregnancy are outdoors or indoors. So let’s break down a little more about each.
OUTDOORS:
Outdoor sessions are done at either sunrise or sunset, and take place at a location that either you or I choose. I love photographing you in locations of meaning. So whether that is in the country, or city, by the water or in the mountains- it is about you! I think environment is so important to your collection, so choosing a location that fits your personality is important. For styling, I help you with that too! Whether you choose a dress, pants, or skirt, there is certain clothing and colors that photograph better than others. That is why I share with all of my families a style link to help keep the process easy and stress free.
INDOORS:
These sessions are on the more intimate side, and again, can be customized to what fits you best. Most women who choose this option love the idea of documenting their pregnancy in a more intimate and personal way. Styling suggestions include a bra/ underwear combo, robes, bathtubs, or topless. The focus is on your body and the connection that you are building with your baby and body. We pay attention to details. Your partner is welcome to join in these as well.
So, I’d like you to think- which type of session fits your personality best? Or maybe you have another idea? I love hearing more about you, your story, and any vision you may have to document your pregnancy in the best way I can.
