If you're expecting, give yourself and your family the gift of a maternity photo shoot. Work with a professional photographer to create beautiful memories of your pregnancy. Ranging from funny or cute to elegant and classy, you can take an approach that includes your partner and any children you already have. Here are four reasons to commission a set of maternity photos.

Benefits of Maternity Photos

1. Celebrate Your Pregnancy

Having a baby is an exciting turning point in your life, so commemorate and enjoy it. The tradition of maternity photos goes hand-in-hand with birth announcements, baby showers, and gender reveal parties. You can send them to friends and family to announce your pregnancy or include them in invitations to parties. You can also distribute them as party favors.

2. Preserve Memories

Don’t look back over your pregnancy with regret nor let it slip by too quickly. Having a memento of this special time helps you hold onto the joy and anticipation of new life for years to come. You can also capture your partner’s feelings, too. Include them in your photos so you can look back at these memories together.

3. Look Gorgeous

That pregnancy glow isn't just a myth. Better circulation and changes in your skin mean you look healthier and more beautiful than ever when you're pregnant. Why not take pictures when you're at your best? A professional photographer will know how to enhance your grace and style.  Meredith Struebing Photography provides you with maternity dresses for your style and comfort.  This way you don’t have to purchase a maternity dress, and you have options to choose from throughout your session.
