A fall photo session can be a unique and special experience for several reasons:
Beautiful Colors: Fall is known for its stunning and vibrant colors. The changing leaves create a warm and cozy atmosphere that can make for beautiful backdrops in photos.
Cooler Weather: Fall brings cooler temperatures, which can make for a more comfortable and enjoyable photo session. There's no need to worry about sweating or feeling uncomfortable in the heat, which can be a concern during summer sessions.
Wardrobe Options: Fall fashion is known for its cozy sweaters, scarves, and boots, which can make for stylish and fun wardrobe options for a photo session. These clothing items can add a pop of color and texture to photos, making them more interesting and visually appealing.
Mood and Atmosphere: The fall season has a unique mood and atmosphere that can make for a cozy and intimate photo session. The warm and cozy feeling of fall can create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, which can result in more natural and genuine photos.
Best Maternity Photographer in South Jersey
What is so special about a Maternity Photography Session?
A maternity photography session is special because it captures a unique and beautiful moment in a woman's life: the transition to motherhood. It's a time when a woman's body is changing, and she's growing a new life inside her. Maternity photography celebrates this transformation and creates lasting memories of this special time.
Maternity photography also allows expectant mothers to connect with their unborn baby and document the beginning of their journey together. It can be an emotional and empowering experience, as women celebrate the strength and beauty of their bodies and the new life growing within.
South Jersey's Premiere Photographer for Maternity Photography
Why is it important to capture your pregnancy with a professional photographer?
Pregnancy is that time to reflect upon what is to come and to expect. It's frightening, it's exciting and often times bittersweet. They often-say that life doesn't begin until you have children. I can attest, it's true. I feel like my life had no meaning until I had my two. They are my whole entire world. All I could ever ask for. The amount of joy children bring into your life, it's otherworldly and there's nothing I wouldn't do for them.
Winter Maternity Sessions!
Maternity Photography-Did you know... that maternity is one of our favorites to shoot? Both my assistant and I (mom, theeee best assistant, ever) truly love it. It is our FAVORITO. Why do we love it so much? Well, it is because it is an exciting new chapter in a couple's life. It's usually a life changing event, once your little bundle joy arrives. Tremendous emotions... everything from fear, to love, to anticipation comes to the surface. I know for me..
Tt was terrifying.. that you are actually responsible for another human being.. when sometimes you can't even take care of yourself.. and trying to keep it together, am I right? This time is a wonderful time to capture that belly bump silhouette. I know with my children, they enjoy seeing me huge, but seeing the belly they were once inside. This is also a wonderful time for the bubbies.
