What to expect at a maternity session?
Maternity sessions will me are aimed to be enjoyable, relaxed, with no stress what so ever! I don’t expect anyone to know what do in front of the camera and not everyone enjoys having their photo taken. But I’m there to help ease you through each step.
Are children and partners included in the session?
Yes definitely!! I thoroughly encourage that they are in the photos so that when baby is old enough, they’ll be able to see this special moment before they entered the world.
When should you do the session?
I recommend doing the session at around 30-34 weeks of pregnancy, while your tummy is nice and round, but before it becomes more painful and tiring, closer to your due date.
Maternity sessions are held every day of the week, towards sunset time, at a quiet location in Sunbury or Macedon Ranges.
3 Reasons Why You Should Take Maternity Photos | Emma Pender Photography
Why every mumma to be should do a maternity photo shoot
1. To relive what it was like to be pregnant
Everyone tells you, that once your baby is born, the time flies away and what seemed like an eternity of being pregnant; will be a distant memory. Capturing the moment in a maternity session is a beautiful way of being able to look back in years to come and remember those gorgeous little kicks that you once felt.
2. Have an reason to get all dolled up
I think we’d be lying if we said that pregnancy makes you feel absolutely glamorous. I still haven’t forgotten about the constant reflux…yuck! But I was determined to get dressed up with my daughter and have our maternity photos and I’m so glad I did. A lot of time you may feel like wearing the most comfortable clothing that you own but a maternity session is a perfect excuse to get your hair and make up done and look stunning. If you don’t have a dress of your own that you’d like to wear; don’t worry as we have a large variety of gowns for you to choose from. . A maternity session allows you to appreciate your beauty and strength and to remind yourself of how absolutely stunning you are.
3. Capturing the journey with your partner
One of the most asked questions that I receive is ‘Can my partner be in the photos?’ and the answer is ‘OF COURSE’! They are hugely encouraged to come along to the maternity session as some of the most gorgeous photos are of the little interactions between the couple. Whether it’s your first, second or third pregnancy, being present in the photos is a special way of capturing the change in your relationship and the anticipation of parenthood.
