When it comes to taking maternity photos, I will always suggest that you do them at home–even if you feel like your home is “too small” or “too messy”, or even you’re waiting for new furniture. To me, capturing an authentic glimpse into this short period of your life is more important than creating a perfect scene in your prettiest dress. Photographing your pregnancy in your home will tell a story about life before the baby came. You’ll treasure the memories and be able to show them to your kids one day. Perhaps your home isn’t your forever home, but it’s the home that you lived in when you were expecting, and it will be the home you bring your baby to. If your home is your forever home, believe me, it will never look the same once the baby arrives. I emphasize a photo-journalistic style with my work. I want your maternity images to age like fine wine—getting more precious over time. Document your days. Tell a story with your belly shots.
