If you’re expecting, you may be considering maternity photos to remember this memorable time. With so much to do to prepare for the baby, however, it’s possible for this task to go overlooked. Here’s why you should make a photoshoot a priority when pregnant. 

Why You Should Have a Maternity Photoshoot 

1. Remember the Pregnancy

Nine months can certainly feel like a long time, but the time will pass quickly. Having maternity photos can help remind you of what it felt like to carry a little one in your belly, even long after they’ve made their arrival. This is true even if it’s not your first child, as every pregnancy is special and deserves to be celebrated.

2. Show Your Child in the Future

Children are often amazed to discover that their mother carried them for nine months. Seeing photos of you while pregnant can make them feel special and deepen their connection with you. Even older children may like to see this special phase, and adult children may be interested in comparing how you carried to their own future pregnancies.

3. Pamper Yourself

You may not always feel the best throughout every phase of the pregnancy. After all, the process is hard work and can take its toll both mentally and physically. 

Having a professional photoshoot gives you the chance to pamper yourself a bit. Get your hair, nails, and makeup done and dress up for the event. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some well-deserved self-care.

4. Bond With Your Partner

Since your partner isn’t carrying the baby, they may not always feel as physically connected to the experience. The photoshoot will give them an opportunity to become more connected to you and the baby. Intimate poses such as having them place their hands on your belly will capture the special bond between you two before the family officially grows. 

5. Create Beautiful Announcements

If you haven’t already announced the pregnancy on social media, a maternity photoshoot provides the perfect way to let the world know of the new addition. Even if you announced earlier, the images can be used for baby shower invitations or displays. Having professional photos ensures high-quality images for printed media and digital files alike.
