Hey there, mamas-to-be! I'm Melissa, a newborn and family photographer based in Maui, Hawaii. I'm here to tell you the top 5 reasons my clients book a maternity photo session.

1. It's a time capsule of your pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a magical time, but it goes by so quickly. Maternity photos are a way to capture this special time and cherish it forever. You'll be able to look back at your photos and remember all the joy, excitement, and anticipation you felt as you awaited the arrival of your little one.

2. It's a way to celebrate your body.

Your body is doing amazing things during pregnancy. It's growing a whole new human! Maternity photos are a way to celebrate your body and all the changes it's going through. Even if you feel bloated and tired right now, you'll be able to look back at your photos and see how beautiful and strong you are.

3. It's a way to bond with your partner.

Maternity photos are a great way to bond with your partner. It's a chance to celebrate your love and excitement for the new baby together. I create an environment that's fun and flirty so that you're enjoying this session in the moment. You'll be able to look back at your photos and remember how happy you were at this time in your lives.

4. It's a way to document your family's history.

Maternity photos are a way to document your family's history. They'll show your children and grandchildren how you looked when you were pregnant with them. It's a way to pass down the story of your family and your pregnancy journey. Looking back at my mother's photos, knowing that I was growing in the round belly, provides me with a feeling of joy and connectedness to her nthat I can't explain. You'll be able to gift this to your children as well.
