Maternity

The only photos that rival the love between two people at a wedding are maternity sessions. There’s just something miraculous about capturing a mom-to-be and the tiny human practicing karate inside her belly.

I’ve done all kinds of photography (yes, even lions and tigers—because who doesn’t want “being mauled” on their résumé?), but maternity photos are truly special. That glow of an expectant mother in a snow-covered forest? Gorgeous. A dad finger-painting on his wife’s belly? Hilarious and adorable.

Of course, maternity shoots also require a bit of creativity—and sometimes acrobatics. Ever tried balancing alphabet blocks on a curved tummy? It’s like playing Jenga on a water balloon. But when it works, the photos are magic.

At the end of the day, it’s about posing, laughter, and capturing that one-of-a-kind moment before baby arrives and steals the spotlight forever.
