I've heard every one of these. In DMs, in consultations, in texts that come at 11pm. Real women, real doubts, real reasons to wait until "next time." Except next time doesn't come — the baby does.
Here's what I want to say to each one of you.
To the woman who says it's too expensive: what you're paying for is the only photographs that will ever exist of this body, this person, this exact moment before everything changes. There is no later.
To the woman whose husband doesn't want to be in them: he doesn't have to love the camera. He has to stand next to you for thirty minutes so your child has one photograph of their parents the week before they arrived. I've never had a partner regret it.
To the woman who doesn't feel beautiful right now: the women who feel the most invisible during pregnancy are the ones who cry hardest at the gallery reveal. I promise.
To the woman who has nothing to wear: I have a closet. Everything you see in my work is in my studio. You arrive with yourself.
To the woman who waited too long: 35 weeks is not too late. 38 weeks is not too late. If you can still get to me, I can still photograph you.
To the woman who skipped this with her first and feels guilty doing it now: your first child gets to be in the photographs. They get to see themselves in the story of the family before it changed. This isn't selfish. It's a gift to both of them.
To the woman who doesn't know what she'd do with the photos: they don't sit on a hard drive. They hang above the crib. They live in albums your daughter will open with her own daughter someday.
You don't need permission. But here it is.
Save this. Send it to the friend who keeps putting it off. Or message me HONEST and we'll talk about your session.
