Not sure if you want to add on a Boston maternity photography session? I get it. Not everyone loves being pregnant (ahem *this was me*) and taking photographs when you aren’t feeling your best may seem like a terrible idea.
But hear me out before you say no…
3 Reasons To Add On A Boston Maternity Photography Session:
1. It’ll be over before you know it
Okay, so when I was pregnant with my twins I absolutely hated this cliche. Because it absolutely didn’t feel like it was going to be “over before I knew it.” It felt very much like “this is taking too f*cking long and I’m miserable and I’d love for it to be over now, thanks.” But, looking back, it was true. My boys are two and a half now and being pregnant with them feels like a lifetime ago.
2. You’re beautiful! *even if you don’t feel like it right now*
Some people ease into pregnancy, have that glow, and love every bit of growing a tiny human. But some of us don’t. Sometimes it’s a difficult transition. Sometimes watching our bodies change during pregnancy is hard and we might not always feel our best, but you’re a rockstar and deserve to be celebrated.





3. These sessions are easy and stress-free
Yup, it’s true. If we work together for your Boston maternity photography session, it’s a completely full-service experience.
Hair + Makeup coordination- check.
–> Really though, who can manage more than sweatpants and a messy bun when they’re 8+ months pregnant?? I certainly couldn’t. We’ll connect you with the best local hair and makeup artists to get you photo ready and feeling your best.
Flattering wardrobe options- check.
–> The studio wardrobe has a variety of beautiful, bump-friendly dresses for you to choose from. We have a capsule wardrobe for toddlers and shirts for Dad, too 😉


Bright + cozy studio location- check.
–> Don’t stress about finding the perfect location or worrying about the weather! Our centrally located MetroWest studio location is the perfect backdrop for classic, timeless images. Tour the studio here!

You are absolutely right, it will fly by and speaking from personal experience as well – it’s often difficult to see how beautiful our pregnancies are until they’re over.
I love how easy you make everything for your clients! Having those beautiful dresses to choose from makes the process so much easier!
Stunning photography! I love that nursery/playroom image. The wall art just makes that room such a special place.
Your studio is so beautiful! You use light so beautifully. 🙂 I love these maternity photos – I think it’s such a wonderful post educating on the importance of maternity photos! 🙂
These are great reasons to add on a maternity session!
