Oakland, CA – Reasons to Hire a Maternity / Pregnancy Photographer – East Bay Area

Are you expecting a new baby?  You’re probably already thinking about how expensive having a baby and raising a child can be.  Diapers and day care, braces and prom dresses, and don’t forget college.  I think you should also consider investing in a Maternity Photography Session, and here’s why.

Celebrate You

This is an amazing time of change for an expectant mom.  Some women love how they feel and embrace the changes that happen to your body.  But others struggle with these changes.  There’s weight gain, stretch marks and swollen ankles.  Who wants to document that?  I remember worrying about all of those things when I was pregnant with my babies.  But you are growing a new human being!  That’s such an amazing feat.  Embrace all of those changes and celebrate those changes!  A professional photographer can make you feel beautiful and give you images that you will treasure for years to come.

Celebrate Your Partner

This is a time of change for you and your partner.   You might already have children or this might be your first.  Either way, this is a time of change for you and your partner.  Having a new baby is amazing, but it can also be exhausting.  Partners often neglect each other as they adapt to having a new little one.  But it’s important to remember that you and your partner are the foundation that your family is built on.  A professional maternity photo shoot will help capture your journey that led you to this time in your life.

Celebrate Siblings

If you have other children at home, this is a big time of change for them.  The baby of the family is no longer going to be the baby.
There may be some jealousy surrounding the arrival of the new baby.  A professional maternity photography session isn’t just about the expectant mom and partner, it’s also a celebration of the siblings.  I like to spend some time focusing on each sibling individually.  It’s also a change to document your family before it changes.
