CAPTURING MATERNITY MOMENTS//A STUDIO STYLE SESSION GUIDE//forks, washington

Welcoming a new life into the world is a magical journey, and capturing the beauty of maternity through photography is a wonderful tradition for many expecting parents. While outdoor maternity photoshoots offer stunning natural backdrops, unpredictable weather can sometimes pose a challenge. Especially during our rainy season on the Olympic Peninsula. However, fear not! In this guide, we'll explore the benefits of a studio-style maternity session.

The greatest benefit that a studio-style maternity session provides is a controlled environment where lighting and props can be styled to create breathtaking portraits. For Alex and Rex’s maternity session I choose to incorporate a wooden stool and some baby’s breath. A studio style session gives me the freedom to experiment with different setups, resulting in stunning compositions that focus solely on the expecting mother's beauty.

When planning a studio-style maternity session, selecting the perfect wardrobe is key. Opt for maternity clothing that accentuates your curves while ensuring comfort. Flowing dresses, form-fitting gowns, or cozy knitwear in a neutral color palette work beautifully in studio settings, allowing the focus to remain on the expectant mother. I love that Alex choice a form fitting black dress and simple white shirt and blue jeans. Choosing a neutral color palette and accenting with Baby’s Breath really enhanced the feel of this session. Studio style sessions have become a favorite and I love that it provides the perfect alternative to an outdoor setting. This session was an absolute dream and I am excited to share more images with you.
