The Importance of Maternity Portraits | Dazzling Light Photography

When considering newborn photography, many women pass over the idea of adding maternity portraits to their session.

These portraits have an importance all their own. We’re here today to give you the details and put your mind at ease.

There are very few women who actually feel like they are beautiful while they are pregnant – especially during the first pregnancy. However, the miracle of pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Swollen feet, stretch marks, and hormone changes aside – you are growing a real live human being inside of you. All of those side effects come from different things your body has to do to help nourish and protect your baby.

Even though pregnancy comes with a lot of difficult trials, it is an amazing time in your life. It is a time of celebration and of anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. It’s a time where you become strong – stronger than you ever thought you could possibly be. During this time, you create your initial bond with your child that will continue throughout your entire lives. Maternity portraits capture the beginning of this bond.

You are beautiful, and you should take the time to celebrate these changes and this amazing moment in your life. These maternity portraits will be a great gift to pass down to your child as an heirloom of your first memories with them. This is something they can treasure forever.
