4 Ways to Soothe Your Nervous System Before your Maternity Session

Maybe you are beyond stoked and confidently flaunting your bump in crop tops for your upcoming maternity photos. But maybe, you don’t love the feeling of meeting up with someone you don’t know that well and seeing their eyes disappear behind the camera as they snap away without giving you direction. Ahhh! That sounds nerve-racking.

I know for a lot of mamas who are used to surfing, skating, or body surfing--you have to take a break from something that makes you feel like yourself. When I met Cait, I knew she was a beach and sun lover and her husband was a surfer. It was clear they loved the ocean as much as I did.

I have to say this was one of my favorite shoots. Whitney was a mama who actually found me on social media, without being referred by one of my other clients.

I truly think your sessions should be what you make them. Jaelynn--mom of 3--is more badass than she'll ever give herself credit for. Who says "barefoot and pregnant" has to be typical. She's one of those moms that's got a sleeve and always has different-colored hair.
