It’s Not As Expensive As You Might Think

Many people associate professional photography with costing an arm and a leg, but it isn’t the case. Most photographers these days have many options, or packages, which enable you to have a prints and digital copies of your images to use as you please. They usually have a sitting fee which varies, then you can choose prints or digital be it all the shots or selected shots on CD. Considering how much we might spend photographing a wedding day, a pregnancy photo shoot which is just as memorable costs a fraction of that.

Now that you’ve decided to go ahead with a maternity photography, when would be a good time to book your session? Naturally, you would save it for the last trimester when your baby bump is really showing. So, the 7th or 8th month. 8th if this is your first pregnancy, and 7th upwards if this is your second child onwards.

To take or not to take. Pregnancy photos are all the rage these days, judging by the growing number of photography studios offering maternity shoots. You may, however, be self-conscious and embarrassed by how big and fat you think you are, and feel that a maternity photo shoot is definitely not for you. Well, think again. In time, all images of your pregnant days will be wiped out, and you will be hard put trying to remember what you looked like carrying your children in your belly. Your children, when they are older, will also get quite a kick from seeing their expectant mama, with the baby in her tummy, as it grows inside of her. These photographic memories will serve to remind them of the love you have for them, and your joy in having them. Even if you don’t care for the memory for yourself, do it for the kids.
