Maternity photos are an act of self care. Pregnancy is a time of anticipation, excitement, and often a whirlwind of emotions. It’s also a period of incredible transformation—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Celebrating your body during this magical and temporary time is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

There are a lot of people who will tell you that there are hard and fast rules on newborn photos. I’m here to tell you those people are wrong. So if you didn’t get newborn photos done in the first two weeks of life because you were busy keeping a baby alive and healing your body and somewhere in there getting a little sleep (maybe)- don’t panic. You didn’t blow it.
