Maternity Boudoir – Why It’s Important to Celebrate Your Pregnant Body

Hello mamas-to-be! I'm Stephanie, an award-winning professional boudoir photographer based right here in the heart of Brooklyn. Today I want to share why celebrating your pregnant body through a maternity boudoir is an experience every mom should have the chance to enjoy.

Why Maternity Boudoir?

Pregnancy is a time of profound transformation, and your body is performing nothing short of a miracle. You're growing a tiny human inside you, and that deserves to be celebrated! A maternity boudoir session isn't just about creating stunning photographs; it's about empowering you, showcasing the incredible changes your body is going through, and boosting your confidence during this life-changing journey.

In the warm, inviting atmosphere of my Brooklyn Boudoir studio, we focus on highlighting your natural beauty and the unique radiance that pregnancy brings. Maternity boudoir sessions are a blend of artistry and self-love, allowing you to connect with your body in a way you may have never thought possible. Trust me, the experience of capturing this moment in time is one you'll cherish forever.

Embracing Your Confidence

One of the most remarkable things about maternity boudoir is the boost of confidence it provides. Many expectant mothers struggle with body image issues during pregnancy, as their bodies undergo significant changes. Maternity boudoir is a powerful antidote to those insecurities. As your photographer, I work closely with you to ensure you feel comfortable and empowered throughout the session.

You'll be amazed at the strength, beauty, and sensuality you exude as an expectant mother. It's an experience to witness the transformation from vulnerability to confidence in the span of a single photoshoot. The images we create together serve as a visual reminder of your strength, beauty, and the love you hold for your unborn child.

Capturing the Glow

Maternity boudoir is about creating art that tells a story. Whether you choose to be draped in flowing fabrics, capture the intimacy of your baby bump with your partner, or go for a more sensual solo session, Maternity boudoir photography is a personalized experience tailored to your vision and comfort level.

As a professional boudoir photographer, I understand the nuances of working with pregnant women. I know how to capture your essence, highlight your curves, and make you feel like the radiant goddess you are. The end result is a collection of breathtaking images that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime. These photos go beyond the idea that they are meant to be for you; they're actually a legacy of love for your child, the beginning of your story together from now on.

Maternity Boudoir as a Unique Gift

Imagine the look on your child's face when they see the stunning maternity boudoir photos of their expectant mom. It's a priceless gift you'll be passing down through generations, showing them the love and strength that surrounded their arrival.

Moreover, maternity boudoir makes for a meaningful gift to your partner. It's a celebration of the love you share, and seeing you in this empowering light can strengthen your connection during this unique time in your lives. It's a beautiful way to bond and create lasting memories together as you eagerly anticipate the arrival of your little one.

30 Weeks Pregnant | My Maternity Shoot with Lola Melani | NYC Photographer

I am a firm believer in existing in photos, printing your photos and having your photograph taken by a professional. Even though I AM a professional photographer - and one who loves to take self portraits at that - I STILL find it really valuable to be in front of someone else’s camera from time to time. You get to capture yourself in a different way than you normally do, see yourself through someone else’s eyes, become ART … the benefits are endless really. While I love the self portraits I take, there’s nothing like having your photo taken by someone else.

While I took many self portraits during my first pregnancy, nearly no one has seen them. Truth be told I haven’t even edited many of them, and I surely don’t look at them often. So when I had the opportunity to be photographed by the incredible photographer Lola Melani, I jumped at the chance! Lola’s style is classic, elegant, fashion-y and truly sublime. I absolutely loved the experience of being in front of her lens, following her lead, giving up control (soooo hard for a control freak like myself) and let myself be pampered and directed. Lola and her team made me feel beautiful, badass, and like a goddess. And THAT is what a professional photoshoot can do for you, beyond the incredible images you will receive in the end. It’s the experience above all.

I couldn’t be happier to have these images of myself during what is likely the last time I will be pregnant. I plan on printing and framing a few and hanging them on the wall, because THAT is the best way to showcase this beautiful artwork.

So THANK YOU Lola, Vlada and Eva for capturing my pregnancy so beautifully, for the most fun day, and the experience of being photographed by one of the greats.

xoxo, Stephanie

Maternity shoots are best done between 28 and 33 weeks so plan ahead and contact me to set yours up!
