Chill Maternity Session At Home

A super relaxed + stress free maternity shoot is entirely possible; especially when opting for it to be an in home experience!

Photographing Caroline + Connor while they were waiting on their little girl to make her entrance into the world felt so special and natural. I firmly believe a big part of it playing out that way was because they opted to take full advantage of the home they’ve created to serve as the backdrop to their photos.

If you’re looking for a way of documenting your maternity journey in an effortless way; you may find inspiration from Caroline + Connor’s super chill in home session. There’s a sense of familiarity and comfort that’s brought when deciding to capture this sweet season under your own roof. Of course being in a familiar environment allows mothers-to-be to relax and be themselves, resulting in more natural and authentic photographs. The home setting also provides an opportunity to incorporate personal elements and meaningful spaces (like that nursery you’ve poured love into each corner) into the photoshoot, creating a personalized experience.

In addition to all of that — the convenience is another reason to consider an at home session. When you’re using a good portion of your energy to grow life, it’s like giving yourself a gift by staying home and choosing to not endure any travel. Beautiful imagery can be created anywhere but choosing home is an opportunity to celebrate motherhood within the familiar surroundings that will soon welcome your little bundle of joy.

This maternity session was captured digitally with the addition of various polaroids/instant film. The film add on ended up being the couple’s favorite part of their experience. It’s such a fun tangible way to remember this time spent celebrating the wait! Check out more polaroid work here.
