Your partner has an important role in your child’s story, so, of course, we’d love for them to be part of your maternity photo session. But, sometimes, they don’t want to. It’s not that they don’t love you or the baby. I have four things you can do if your partner doesn’t want to take maternity photos with you. And I’ll share what we do if they simply don’t want to be part of this session.

Your Niagara maternity photos should be an experience that you look forward to and not one that creates a million things to do. I hear from many mamas who are stressed over finding what to wear for their portrait session. Not only do they need to find something they can wear, they need to find outfits for their entire family. I’d love to share how…

Looking back on my family photos brings me such joy and happy memories. Photos carefully hold our memories for us. I might not remember what I had for dinner last Tuesday, but I’ll never forget my son’s giggle when he was a toddler or the silly songs my daughter would come up with on guitar.

Recent studies have shown that pregnancy is comparable to competing in a high-endurance event for nine months straight. Researchers gathered data on how an athlete’s body reacted to a high-endurance event (like running a marathon), analyzed that next to data on what a  pregnant woman’s body goes through, and found the results strikingly similar.

Maternity photography documents that beautiful yet short time before you meet the love of your life. Some of my clients feel amazing and are excited about their maternity portrait session, while some are a little nervous and unsure.

Documenting this special time with a maternity portrait session is the perfect way to hold onto these memories. If you’re researching maternity photos, you may wonder if you’d like a studio maternity session. I’d love to share several benefits of a studio maternity photo shoot with you.

Including your older children helps them feel excited about the new baby and part of the celebration. If you’re feeling guilty because you didn’t have maternity photos with your first child, this is a beautiful way to include them. Plus, I can’t help but capture some of your older children for you to treasure too.

Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of those Pinterest-worthy family photo shoots? Typically, the burden of the planning, the shopping, and the getting dressed up all fall on the mama’s shoulders (sound familiar?). But at Reflections of Life, I do things a little differently. I have four sweet little (and not-so-little-anymore)…

Imagine snuggling up with your little ones on the couch and telling them stories about how they used to kick, kick, kick so hard in your tummy. They giggle and demand to see pictures of what you looked like with their little bodies tucked safely inside. So you grab your old phone and charge it up, hoping you can still load your selfies. In the…
