Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with moments worth capturing. As a maternity photographer based in Newington, CT, my goal is to create meaningful artwork from your pregnancy photos that not only celebrate this unique time but tell your story in a way that feels personal and authentic to you.

Each pregnancy is different, and so is every maternity session. I believe the best photos tell a story—your story! Whether it’s a serene outdoor location or the cozy intimacy of your home, I want your maternity session to feel like the celebration it is. 

One of the best ways to tell your story is by choosing a unique and meaningful location. Here are some things to remember as you consider your pregnancy photo location!

Choosing a Location That is Meaningful to You

In-home sessions offer a sense of familiarity and comfort. Whether you’re curling up on your favorite couch or spending time in your soon-to-be nursery, there’s something special about capturing everyday moments in the space you call home. It’s personal, allowing me to photograph you in your element—relaxed and being yourselves.

In this session, this family of three, soon to be four, chose their own home. This can be a great option for families with older siblings to be comfortable in their own space, a more casual feel, and capture the beauty of their preparations for adding another baby to the family! I was so honored to be a part of their second story, and their neighbors even had a fantastic garden we could use for some photos as well!

On-location sessions provide an opportunity to explore outdoor spaces that might hold special memories or simply offer a beautiful backdrop. Think local parks,  or even your favorite coffee shop. These places can add layers of storytelling to your photos, showing the places that mean something to you during this exciting time.

In this session, this sweet mom had asked about photographing under the Founder’s Bridge, where you can see the archways in the distance. As soon as we arrived, I could see the sun would create a gorgeous rim light on her back, and I knew adding a pop of light on the opposite side would create something epic!

Finally, my studio might be the ideal location. Is my studio meaningful to you? Maybe not (yet!) But the studio offers a quiet, comfortable space with all the amenities we need at our fingertips. Some of my clients really love that they don’t need to clean their house for the session and that the studio offers privacy. With the studio as the backdrop, your beautiful baby bump and love for the baby are our main focus.

As a full-service maternity photographer, part of my process is helping you plan the session, so if you aren’t sure where to have your session, I’m happy to offer suggestions. 

Turning Your Story into Artwork

Once the session is over, it’s time to turn those memories into artwork. Whether it’s an album telling the full story of your pregnancy, a framed piece for your living room, or a gallery wall of prints that celebrate the moments leading up to the birth of your child, these photos are meant to be enjoyed every day. But don’t worry, this won’t be another to-do list item; let me handle everything and print your artwork through my professional print lab. Your artwork will be high-quality and last for many, many years as you watch your baby grow up. 

The Flash Lady Photography offers a 1st Year Baby Plan so you can professionally capture each precious milestone for your baby by choosing three milestones to document. For example, you can choose maternity, newborn, and first birthday. By booking these through the Baby Plan, you’ll save money on the session fees while guaranteeing your session spots. Even better? We can plan cohesive artwork that tells the story of your baby’s entire first year. Click here for more information.
