5 things I always tell my maternity clients ✨
You don’t need to be a model.
You don’t need the perfect dress.
You just need to show up as you are.
Swipe through for my 5 favourite tips to help you feel relaxed, comfortable, and ready for a maternity session that feels like you. 🤍
Tip #1: Wear what makes you feel comfortable.
The best outfit is one you can move, sit, cuddle, and walk in without thinking about it. If you’re constantly adjusting straps, pulling at fabric, or worrying about how something sits, it’ll take you out of the moment.
Choose something that feels like you and makes you feel confident. Comfort always photographs better than discomfort.
Tip #2: Bring the whole family along!
If your partner, children, or pets are joining the session, embrace the chaos and connection that comes with it. Some of the most meaningful images come from cuddles, laughter, curious little hands on your bump, and the way your family
Tip #3: Don’t worry about having to pose!
Focus on your baby, your family, and enjoying this season of life. The most beautiful images happen when you’re simply present.
Tip #4: Arrive a few minutes early.
Give yourself a little extra time to settle in, have a drink of water, and ease into the session. Pregnancy is hard work, and if you’re feeling a little puffed walking from the car. I completely get it, I was the same!
Tip #5: Don’t wait until you love how you look.
So many mums tell me they want to lose weight, feel less swollen, or wait until they feel more like themselves before stepping in front of the camera.
But these photos aren’t just for today. They’re for the version of you a year from now, looking back on the incredible job your body was doing. They’re for your child to see one day. They’re proof that you were here, carrying them, loving them before you’d even met.
You might notice the things you’d like to change. Your future self will notice the memories you almost didn’t keep. 🤍
