If you’re dreaming about capturing your maternity moments in a place that’s as special as your journey, I’d love to share a bit about a lovely spot and a recent heartwarming experience. Last week, at Howard County Conservancy in Woodstock, MD, I had the sweet opportunity to photograph a couple eagerly awaiting their first baby. It was a beautiful evening filled with laughter, love, and some truly magical light.

Hello again, it’s Steven! I had the joy of reuniting with a wonderful family I’ve had the pleasure of photographing through several of their life’s milestones. From the early days with their firstborn to celebrating a year full of growth and now, capturing them as they anticipate the arrival of twin girls. This winter session was all about capturing the family as they are now, in a moment of peaceful anticipation and joy.

The magic of maternity photography is its ability to capture the raw emotions of anticipation, love, and profound transformation. For this young, first-time expecting couple in Princeton, NJ, their maternity session was less about staged elegance and more about chronicling the genuine emotions of this pivotal chapter in their lives.

Choosing the perfect location for a maternity photoshoot can be a daunting task. It’s essential to find a setting that reflects your personality and style, creating images that are unique to you. For those who love the outdoors and unique architecture, an outdoor setting that showcases both can be the perfect choice. Recently, we had the opportunity to work with a couple who chose a university campus as the backdrop for their maternity photoshoot, and it worked out great.

Keeping up with a energetic toddler is hard. It’s even harder while you are pregnant with your second. However, baby bump photos with a toddler are just super adorable! We are so glad that we can help this lovely mom to preserve these precious moments. Every single photo becomes priceless as time passes and things change.

The maternity or pregnancy portrait photographs will be extremely precious years later to allow you to share with your kids how much love you felt for them even when they were still in your tummy.
