3 perfectly good reasons to do bare bump maternity photos

Reason #1 you should get bare bump maternity photos: Because you're freakin gorgeous mama!


I know, I've been there. When your body is stretching & growing in ways & places you never even dreamed of, it's hard to feel beautiful. But trust me when I say this, you are a freakin' goddess with that beautiful baby bump and you deserve to see that! Capturing your beautiful bare baby bump for your maternity photos can really capture just how gorgeous you are. A professional photographer has an eye for beauty and uses stunning imagery, styling and angles to create flattering, beautiful memories of you and this special time in your life that you can cherish forever.

Reason #2 you should get bare bump maternity photos: Pregnancy is a fleeting moment in time


When you're in the midst of all those pregnancy symptoms, including nausea, difficulty moving around & sleepless nights (just me?), it seems to drag on forever doesn't it?! But 9 months is a very short time in the scheme of things, so why not capture this beautiful, special time in your life before you get to meet your little babe by capturing your bare baby bump in all it's glory for your maternity session. Because honestly, once baby arrives you will realize how fast time goes and it's just the best feeling in the world to look back and remember that they were right there safe inside you.

There is no better way to honour & celebrate this time than to show off your beautiful bare baby bump for maternity photos. Bare bump maternity photos really tell the story of this time in your life so much better than any other photos can.

Here's a recent beautiful bare bump maternity session at home in Calgary to inspire your own

In just a short time Tori & Jesse from Calgary are expecting their third child, a baby girl. Beautiful mama Tori thought this was a unique way to celebrate & honour what would probably be their last baby. The two of them were an absolute dream to photograph - easy going, open to try new things & utterly devoted to each other - which you can clearly see in all of the photos. I'm overjoyed with how these turned out & honoured that Tori trusted in me to capture this special time in their lives while she bared her bump for the first time.
