Holly ~ Dramatic Studio Maternity Portraits

If you’re expecting a new addition to your family, highlight your beautiful nine-month journey through pregnancy by booking a maternity photography session. A maternity shoot lets you capture the joy that you feel as you anticipate Little One’s arrival and show off your radiant pregnancy glow. This stage is short yet monumental for your family, so it’s well worth documenting.

As with any shoot, location is everything. Where you do the session determines the overall theme, feel, style and lighting of the photos. Here are a few reasons to consider doing your maternity session at the studio:

1.     Create an Effect

When you look at the photos below, you can see that studio sessions provide a dramatic, stylistic element that’s hard to get outside. Outdoor photos are beautiful, but if you’re looking for something striking and glamorous, a studio session is the way to go. I offer a variety of backdrops, sets, colors, and themes to help you capture the exact look you are going for. The dark backdrop in these photos really showcases this beautiful mama-to-be’s facial features and expressions while perfectly accentuating her baby bump. Captivating is an understatement!

2.     Privacy

Pregnancy is beautiful, but it isn’t always easy. Getting into outfits and poses can be a challenge.  If you’re wanting some intimate photos that capture your superwoman body – maybe with something sheer and lacy – I know that you may not feel at ease trying to master the look while others are watching. The studio offers complete privacy, and I will be right there to help you with dresses and poses to capture that stunning look you’re going for 

3.     Easy Changes

Speaking of sheer and lacy, if you’re including a couple different looks, the studio offers privacy and convenience for wardrobe changes during the session. No trying to find a restroom or wiggling into a dress in the car. Simply hang your dresses in the changing area, and it’s right there when you’re ready.

4.     Rain or Shine

At the studio, book your maternity session at any time of year, rain or shine. It’s a little harder to reschedule a maternity session – no waiting a few months until summer – and we have a shorter window to work with. A studio session allows you to book on your timeline and feel comfortable whether it’s snowing or 100 degrees outside!
