4 Reasons to do an IN HOME Maternity Photoshoot | Seattle, WA | Asheville, NC
Why is an in home maternity session so much better than a studio or an outdoor session?
Well, for the following reasons.
And let me preface this by saying this is MY opinion, and my style. But I believe it is incredible special in the following ways.
-
Intimate
The word intimate means so many different things for people. But I want to start by saying what I mean here. Intimate in this setting means that its raw and real. It’s close in, and shows emotion and expression that you might hide outside, or in a studio that is someone else’s. The intimacy that comes from an in-home session is special and unique to the person in front of the camera. This is so important especially when it comes to maternity because exposing your vulnerability of your belly is intimate and can be scary, so having this be in your home can be so beneficial.
2. Personal
These sessions are personal because they get to show your PERSONALITY. I believe that photos are some of the most important pieces to capturing personality and being able to share it, or hold on to it. When you do an in home family or maternity session you are able to be yourself, and to show your style, and to be free to express your goofy side, or your serious/sensual side. The emotion that one might express in their home is way more expressive than in a space they are not comfortable with.
3. Comfortable
So I know i’ve said comfortable a few times, but let me focus on this here. Comfort is SO IMPORTANT when you a pregnant. Especially because everyone can see your belly, the doctors and people want to touch it, people wanna ask about it. So when you get photos done you wanna capture your love of your growing body. This is so much better when you are comfortable. AKA in your own home is the most comfort I think you could get. So grab your cozy maternity wear from Target, or from your local maternity store: Our favorite is Village Maternity
4.Normal
I say normal here because guess what. Being pregnant is NORMAL but also, so is being in your home while your pregnant or have a new born. With the top three reasons above, I think having your session in your home make photos just seem so…NORMAL! why take maternity photos in the snow if you’re never in the snow and don’t like to be cold. Why be in some strangers fake bed, if you’re more often in your own bed. Capture these special moments of being pregnant in your own home. Cause….its….normal.
