Choosing the Right Photographer

Choosing to document your pregnancy is of the greatest importance and so is choosing a photographer. Choosing a professional photographer who specializes in studio portraiture turns your moment into an experience that creates timeless artwork you'll be proud to display for years to come.

Some things to consider when selecting the photographer for you are:

• Experience and Technical Expertise: Choose a photographer with experience capturing maternity portraits. There are some extra considerations to make when working with a pregnant woman and you want some who knows and understands a pregnant woman's limitations. Also, review the photographer's portfolio to see they have the skill and training to artistically bring about not just a photo but a piece of artwork that is meant to be displayed with pride.
• Style & Aesthetic: Each photographer has a voice and a style of their own. Choose someone whose work speaks to you and fits with what you have in mind for your home. You may love a photographer, but if their work doesn't blend in with your design aesthetic at home - you'll waste both your time and money on images you won't enjoy for long.
• Comfort & Connection: As I mentioned before, pregnancy has its limitations. It is of upmost importance that you work with someone who creates a warm, enviting environment. You also want to be sure you have a genuine connection with your photographer - it is the comfort level between you and your photographer that shows through in your photographs.
• Professionalism & Reliability:  Choose someone who is professional, kind and reliable. Your photographer should be able to consistently deliver the level of imagery they display online and in their portfolio. 

Finally...

Pregnancy is one of the most important transition stages in a woman's life. It offers a unique ability to transform not just you but all those around you. This should be celebrated! By choosing a talented professional who specializes in studio portraiture, you recieve timeless, elegant portraits that are much more that photos - they are works of art that celebrate your beauty and power as a woman. You receive, heirlooms that grow more valuable as time passes. 

I promise, your grandchildren's children will thank you for such a beautiful treasure. I'd love to hear about your pregnancy and preparations for your little one.
