A Rooftop Maternity Picnic

Super 8, Polaroids, and a Picnic in the Sky — An Alternative Approach to Maternity Photography

Preparing for the arrival of your little one can be a journey that feels slow yet fleeting. Taking a moment to cherish the time you have as a couple before becoming parents can sometimes be forgotten in the rush of it all. Turning your maternity photo session into a date night is a wonderful way to be intentional about soaking up these final moments of being a party of two and creates lasting memories in the process.

Traditionally, maternity photos were just about showcasing that growing baby bump, but now it can be the best excuse to curate an evening that allows you to indulge in the things you love. By incorporating elements of a date night, you can partake in the things you enjoy while capturing beautiful photos that truly reflect your personalities and relationship.

Consider planning an activity or outing that holds special meaning to both of you. Whether it's enjoying a picnic on an Indianapolis rooftop, strolling through your favorite neighborhood, or even having dinner at your go-to restaurant, these experiences will not only make for genuine photos but also allow you to relax and enjoy each other's company before your world gets flipped upside down in the best way.

Don't be afraid to let loose and be true to yourselves during your maternity session. Laugh together, share inside jokes, (maybe even play cards) and embrace the joyous anticipation of parenthood. These candid moments will document the true feelings of happiness and excitement swirling around this special time of anticipation in your lives.

Remember that this is just as much about celebrating your love for one another as it is the upcoming arrival of your baby. So go ahead and turn your maternity session into a memorable date night - an experience that will forever be cherished by both of you. Get ready to embark on a romantic adventure like no other as we explore how to infuse your story and romance into every click of the camera.
