Maternity photos aren’t just about the bump—they’re about the family that surrounds and supports it. Including older children in your family maternity in Boston session brings emotional depth, playful energy, and a sweet celebration of your family’s next chapter.
At my Boston studio, I love photographing growing families and creating heartfelt portraits that reflect the bond between parents, siblings, and the baby on the way. A family maternity session is a beautiful way to honor the transition you’re all experiencing together.
1. Celebrate Sibling Bonds: Including your kids gives them a role in the celebration, helping them feel important and connected to the new baby.
2. Capture Real Emotion: Whether it’s a gentle hand on your belly or a spontaneous hug, kids bring unscripted joy and warmth to every image.
3. Document Your Family’s Growth: This is a once-in-a-lifetime season—your family will never look exactly like this again.
4. Tell a Fuller Story: These photos become treasured keepsakes that your children will love seeing as they grow older.
1. Talk to Your Kids Ahead of Time: Let them know what to expect and how special this session is. Make it fun!
2. Pick Comfortable Outfits: Coordinated but not matching works best. Think soft textures, neutral tones, and outfits everyone feels good in.
3. Relax + Let your Child Shine: Our session will be relaxed and playful, with room for your child’s personality to shine. No forced smiles or stiff poses!
– Belly Kisses: Older siblings giving sweet kisses to your bump never fails to melt hearts.
– Snuggles on the Couch or Bed: Cozy, lifestyle-style shots that capture your family in a warm, natural way.
– Holding Hands: A simple, powerful symbol of connection and support.
– Playful Prompts: Dancing, spinning, or a shared laugh helps bring out your family’s authentic joy.
A studio setting allows us to create clean, timeless portraits without worrying about weather or lighting. It also provides a calm, clean, distraction-free space where your children can feel at ease. My Boston studio is family-friendly, with space to play and snacks available so everyone stays happy and comfortable.
