What’s involved in a Maternity Session? | Northern VA Maternity Photographer

Maternity photography is about celebrating your pregnancy and your body during this incredible time in your life. As trusted photographers in the Reston, VA area, our goal is to honor this time in a woman’s life through powerful imagery while ensuring they also enjoy their portrait session.

When you call to reserve your session time, we will chat with you about what to expect during your Maternity Session, but we are also happy to answer any questions you might have before you decide to work with us. We understand that women often have questions about their session. As a maternity photographer, we realize some women feel terrific in their final trimester while others, not so much. We want you to feel completely at ease during your session with us, and we will be happy to explain in detail what you can expect. We can customize your session as much as you want, of course!

Here are a few details for you to consider.

Clothes: You can wear whatever you like during your session. It can be as much or as little as you are comfortable wearing. Our portraits are always tasteful either way! Some women want their baby belly to be the primary focus of their pictures, while others don’t want that. We are okay with either or both! You can wear a beautiful flowing dress or wrap your body in a sheer piece of fabric highlighting your curves.

We urge you to browse our Maternity Clothing Suggestions Pinterest board! There are some lovely ideas there for maternity sessions. As part of our customized service, we are happy to help you pick out the clothing for your session.

Background: We can do your portraits in our Reston, VA area studio or our private outdoor portrait park not far away. One isn’t necessarily better than the other. They’re just different from each other. Which one you select will dictate the overall tone of your portrait. We can discuss your vision (if you have one) for your maternity portraits, and we can offer our thoughts and suggestions as well. We love working with our clients to bring their dreams to fruition!

Family: As a maternity photographer, we recommend including your spouse or partner in your portrait if you are comfortable with that. If you have children, we can include them as well! Some of our most poignant maternity portraits include family. It’s a great way to help a young child get excited about the arrival of their new baby brother or sister! The pictures with a young child included can be precious.

Feel free to also peruse our Maternity Gallery for other ideas.

If you would like to schedule your maternity photography (during your final trimester), please contact our studios near Reston, VA. It would be our honor to work with you during this important time in your family’s life!
