Parents find maternity photos with siblings extra special. They already have littles to love and they are adding to their family. The love is growing. Everyone is excited and everyone wants to show how much baby is loved.
When it’s the first baby is a very different session. The focus is on the couple. It is the beginning of their family and it’s just the couple. When there is another little guy or girl there is a new energy in the session. They are busy and moving all the time. Also, they want to be part of everything and show that they are excited about the new baby too.
The parents also have a new little person to focus on and they are the apple of the their eye. One pose that I think shows this is the siblings hugging mom’s belly. I love to capture this for my families. They are so tender and show so much love all while showing off the belly. I heart this!
The biggest thing, I think, parents want from maternity photos with siblings is for them to show their relationship. For the photos to tell the story of their family. A way I try to do this is by having the family pose together and show connections between each other. It seems simple enough, right? I do this by having the people in the pictures have contact with each other. They can be looking at each other. Holding hands or hugging.
The most important part of a maternity session is showing off the belly! The belly has to be the focus and everything else falls around it. So I have mom cradle the belly and then with all the love around the magic happens.
And now I hope that if you have a little baby on the way you want to book a session with me. We can capture wonderful memories for you too.
