Why Should I do a Maternity Shoot?

Creating a little being is a lot of work- a lot! Long nights of worry, back pain and walks to the bathroom are the less glamorous side of a pregnancy and hardly things that you want to remember. It is important to note that when you look back on a maternity shoot, you aren't going to remember the swelling, mood swings and endless appetite- You are going to remember the feeling of little feet kicking, the funny bumps of baby hiccups and the tremendous blessing of being able to create life.

If you are wondering whether to do maternity pictures or not, think about how wonderful it will be to show your little one pictures of your big belly when they grow up. Close ups won't be on your swelling feet or your double chin- they will be on your brilliant smile and that beautiful belly! Don't let insecurities keep you from documenting this wonderful journey. Bathroom mirror selfies aren't a bad way to document your pregnancy, but a gorgeous picture you can mount on your wall is a better alternative.
