Megan originally hired me for my Belly to Baby maternity photography package, so this was my first time getting to meet her and her husband! We all met up at Leesylvania Park for her maternity session, and the mid-July day gave us some pretty fantastic weather for the season!
Megan’s Outfits and The Couple’s Chemistry
When a mom books maternity photography with me, I always tell them to prepare two outfits. She chose two very different looks for each outfit, and I loved every bit of it! Her first one was a beautiful blue dress, which gave a lush tone to the photos we took in the woods.
After that she changed into a flowing white dress that we took out onto the beach for the pictures. She looked so good in both outfits, and the two different styles represented in the different locations had me adoring every photo I took!
The family looked so cute together, and had such great chemistry both behind and in front of the camera! I barely had to direct them, they knew what to do, and seriously looked like models!
The River, and Why I Love Doing Maternity Photography Sessions
Hands down, my favorite part of maternity photography at Leesylvania Park is the river, and if my moms are willing, I always ask them to get into it for some photos! Megan was all for it, and she got in up to her waist!
It was pretty windy, and it was causing some waves, but the photos were phenomenal. Overall we had a ton of fun, and both Megan and her husband gave me so much to work with. They were wonderful clients!
One reason that I love doing maternity photography for a couple before I do their newborn session is that it gives me a chance to get to know them. Once I get an idea of their personalities, and the things that they like, I can choose the right setup and vibe for their newborn photos and also pick out the right props!
I actually got to capture the newborn session recently and because we got to know one another through the maternity photos, I got to do so many more special things that were just “them!” You’ll get to read all about it and see the adorable pictures soon!
If you need someone to capture your memories or milestones, please contact me, I’d love to chat with you!
