I had the opportunity of photographing Lauren and Keith’s wedding back in 2020, during the height of the pandemic. We go together in a little chapel in Miami, Oklahoma with a small group of friends and family. And now here we are just a few short years later, and they are welcoming a baby girl into their family here in about a month! I love getting to follow families through their growth from engagement to wedding to maternity and then family sessions. As photographer, I get to capture the evolution of a family and document the changes as time passes. It’s one of my favorite things about what I do.
When Lauren asked me to do her maternity session, I did not hesitate. I love getting to work with repeat clients and it’s not often enough I get to work in the studio. We used a mocha backdrop for about half the session, and switch to a deep blue (my favorite), and then finished out with some of the exposed brick in the studio, and we couldn’t skip the wood framed windows with gorgeous natural light.
I don’t get to do very many sessions like this and I gotta say, I wish maternity boudoir was more of a thing. I think often times, pregnancy can make women feel like not the sexiest version of themselves, but your body is doing an amazing thing creating a tiny human, and this is the perfect opportunity to document that process before giving birth. Document it for someone you love, or for yourself.
When we look in the mirror, our eyes often go straight to our perceived flaws. The boudoir photography session is the perfect opportunity to erase a lot of that information we think we have about ourselves. You’ll get to see yourself through my lens and the way you see yourself will be forever changed moving forward.
