Maternity is a time of waiting, expecting and growing and is incredibly precious for a mom. There is nothing quite like carrying a sweet baby inside your body. It’s amazing how fast time passes, which makes it always a good idea to capture it!
Should I include my toddler in my Maternity Session?
If you’re trying to decide whether you should include your squirmy toddler, with a stubborn personality, in your maternity portrait session, here are some ideas to help you decide.
Our approach to maternity portrait sessions with toddler is unique. There aren’t forced poses or stiff smiles. We play games together, connect on their level and switch it up when we need to move on. We understand toddlers have a mind of their own and we like to embrace that in the photographs we create. Ultimately, we want you to look back on these memories and remember that special stage with your toddler as well as your pregnancy.
Embrace the Connection, Not Perfection
Toddlers are wonderfully unpredictable and that is part of the magic! Some of the most beautiful maternity images happen in the in between moments. When your toddler leans into you, they wrap their arms around your bump and giggle because you’re giggling.
Why These Photos Matter
This is a special way to capture quality time with your toddler before your baby arrives. It’s a way to give special attention, while including him in the welcoming of his younger sibling.
If you’re planning your maternity session and wondering how to include your toddler in a beautiful, relaxed way, I would love to help guide you through every step. From wardrobe styling to creating heirloom artwork that tells your family’s story for generations.
