Every pregnancy journey is different, but one thing that is for certain is how special it is to finally meet your baby! After all of those months preparing for birth and dreaming of what their little features will look like, that sweet season of your life is over and a new, equally as beautiful, season begins. That’s why maternity photography sessions in Austin, TX are so incredibly special to me.

A maternity session is the first chance to document your motherhood story with your baby. I know some days of pregnancy can be long and tiring, especially when you have older siblings keeping you busy. I promise you won’t regret documenting this milestone though.

Whether it’s the intimacy of a studio maternity session you are looking for, or an outdoor session in one of the many beautiful locations Austin, TX has to offer, I will walk you through every step of the process.

5 Reasons Why you should Book a Maternity Session

ONE – Every baby deserves to be celebrated

I truly believe every baby bump deserves to be celebrated. So many Mamas tend to skip maternity sessions for second and third babies, but I think those are sometimes even more special.

The SAP maternity session experience is all about making it easy and stress-free so you can truly take in these moments before baby makes his or her debut.

TWO – Pamper Yourself with a luxurious Client Experience

When you book a maternity session, my priority is ensuring that you feel as beautiful as you look. You deserve to be pampered, Mama!

Prior to your session we’ll meet for your styling consultation at my studio. You can read more about the SAP Client Collection Wardrobe and choosing what to wear here. This is always a fun appointment because you have the opportunity to try on pretty, bump-friendly dresses without the stress of ordering and returning ones that don’t work!

On session day, you’ll have the option of professional hair and makeup prior to your session. This experience is included in your session fees and I highly recommend it. My hair and makeup artist, Anupi, is fabulous. I’m convinced there might be nothing better than showing up in comfy clothes and a top knot, then being pampered without having to lift a finger!

THREE – You’ll miss your bump

Pregnancy is such a beautiful experience. Even if you’ve had complications or are counting down the days until you can bend at the waist, there is something so special about our bodies’ ability to create life.

There will probably be times when you will miss your bump. And as much as it disrupts your sleep, you’ll probably miss having baby all to yourself in those quiet, middle of the night dance party moments.

FOUR – Your children will appreciate the images someday

When your children grow, looking back at your maternity portraits will be a special experience for them. I know my own kids light up when they see our maternity portraits! As they grow, the importance of those images will only

FIVE – Special experience with your partner and older children

Maternity sessions are so important to document your growing family as it currently is. It’s a way to celebrate where you are right now and the anticipation for what is next! My clients often tell me after their maternity session that it actually helped the bond with their significant other deepen.

Typically I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28 and 34 weeks to make sure we document your bump while you’re still comfortable.
