Winter maternity photos in Boston: Why I love studio sessions

Its February, which means I’m busy with Winter maternity photos in Boston. This time of year, most of my pregnant clients choose studio maternity photo sessions over outdoor shoots. Obviously, living in Boston, the weather is a major factor for choosing a location for your photos during the winter. While I love snowy family photos when kiddos are a little older and everyone can bundle up and play, maternity sessions are different. Here’s some reasons why my studio is my preferred location for Winter maternity photos in Boston:

No rescheduling for weather

Probably the most obvious reason to choose the studio for your winter maternity photos here in Boston is that you don’t have to worry about rescheduling due to weather. Some days it might be 50 degrees, some days it could be in the teens. Either way, the heat is on in the studio and whether its snowing, raining, freezing or warm, the studio will be a perfect location for your maternity shoot.

Showing off your belly

The reason we’re here is to see that belly! If we shoot outdoors during the Winter, you’ll probably want to bundle up to be warm and comfortable, which means its hard to see your growing belly. In the studio, you can wear that gorgeous dress you picked out, something from my client closet, or intimates without shivering you butt off.

Winter maternity photos Boston: Simple backdrops

I have designed my studio and all the backdrops specifically for maternity and newborn photos, with simple props and neutral colors to ensure that you will love these images forever. The focus isn’t on the background, but on YOU!

Multiple outfit changes

While you’re in the studio, not only will you have access to my client closet with tons of bump friendly dresses that are perfect for your maternity session. These are the kinds of dresses you probably wouldn’t wear normally, and you might not want to invest in just to wear for your photo shoot. In my studio you’re able to try a bunch on, and have multiple outfit changes without having to change behind a tree in the dead of winter!

Consistency with newborn photos

Most of my clients choose my First Year Collection, which includes maternity, newborn, and a milestone or family session within 18 months. (This is a great option that saves you $300!) One thing I love about doing both newborn and maternity sessions in the studio is we can recreate some of the poses and set ups as before/after with your belly and baby. This is perfect for hanging on the wall!

Winter maternity photos Boston: Comfort of the studio experience

In the studio in Winter, you don’t have to feel rushed or worry about people staring at you in the park. Its intimate, comfortable, private, and I even have a bathroom 🙂 Even during warmer months, I love the look and feel of maternity photo sessions in my studio, and personally think its the best location in Boston!
