I hear from so many expecting mamas that they weren’t planning to have this stage professionally documented that maternity photos weren’t something they felt they needed.
And honestly, hearing that always makes me a little sad.
Because I know that one day, their children will grow up and adore seeing their mother this way carrying them, and loving them before they had even met.
The everyday photos matter so much too. The ones your partner captures of you on an iPhone while you’re living your life together. Those are priceless.
But I also hope you choose to have the professional photographs taken.
The ones where you slow down for a moment. Where you choose something simple and beautiful to wear. Where you allow yourself to be in the photographs, instead of always being the one behind the camera.
The ones you can print beautifully, in the high resolution and frame in your home, and one day watch your little one stop in front of and say, “That was me in your belly Momma?!”
