Lisa + TJ are expecting their newest family member in July! Lots of people ask me when the “best” time to do maternity photos is and truthfully, I don’t think there is a perfect time. I always recommend scheduling about 6-8 weeks before your due date, but some women like to do their sessions a little earlier or a little later depending on how they’re feeling. I think the timing just depends on what works best for your family and where you are at in your pregnancy. Each experience is unique and I want to support you in choosing the time that fits you best.
I always encourage my clients to choose a maternity session location that means something to them and these two love Lake Padden!! I was thrilled to work at this location. Lots of beautiful backdrops here from winding paths and greenery to darker forests and, of course, the lake! Lisa had just one outfit which gave us lots of time to walk the park and get many different backdrops. Some expecting Mommas like to change outfits which can be fun, too, but does eat into our adventure time 😉 I always recommend wearing something that makes you feel beautiful, confident and really highlights your belly. Dresses that are tighter around the hips or tops that have a nice belly hug are always encouraged!
Reach out today if you’re expecting! I offer maternity, newborn and milestone photography!
