Hello Pregnant Ladies out there. I’m booking maternity sessions and these, along with newborn and baby sessions, are my passion.

Capturing the entire family as part of a maternity session is not a must, but these images show such a specific moment in time: the “who we were before you arrived” photos to show the new baby later. They also make great wall hangings and excellent gifts.

Some moms want to add props that speak to their passions and the passions they hope their new babies will embrace. I personally love a theme and using props. Those sessions tend to take on a life of their own.

A favorite maternity shoot was a surprise from Jeremy Arnold to his expecting wife (above). They later welcomed their son, Wyatt.

Embracing the elements as part of your maternity portraits? Yes. Water, earth, sky, a special river or creek, lake or mountain vista… all of these set the stage and the results tend to be breathtaking.

While it is still fair outside during the months ahead, consider scheduling your maternity shoot. I can help you consider locations, themes and the best way to capture you as a mom or mom-to-be for posterity. I promise, you’ll be glad you did it.

We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs newborns and families, special events and portraits  of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.
