Love Before Baby: A Family Maternity Studio Session in Ann Arbor
There’s something truly magical about the moments leading up to a baby’s arrival—the quiet anticipation, the joyful energy, and the deep bond growing stronger within a family. Recently, I had the honor of documenting that magic during a beautiful maternity studio session at StudioStudio in Ann Arbor, that was filled with laughter, love, and the sweetest connections.
Family First, Always
One thing I always encourage with maternity sessions is to bring the whole family. These aren’t just portraits—they’re pieces of your story. This session had it all: quiet moments between mom and dad, sweet cuddles with big sis, and those joyful in-between moments that happen when you’re just being together.
Of course, we captured some gorgeous solo shots of mama too—because every woman deserves to feel beautiful and strong in this season of motherhood.
Together, they shared giggles, cuddles, and quiet embraces. No poses- just real moments of connection!
Why Family Maternity Sessions Matter
I believe maternity sessions are about more than just documenting a baby bump—they’re about remembering this chapter of life. Including your family adds so much depth and authenticity to your photos. These are the images you’ll look back on as your children grow, the ones that remind you of how it all began.
Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, your journey deserves to be celebrated—and preserved.
Final Thoughts
This session reminded me why I love what I do—documenting not just milestones, but the love that makes them meaningful. If you’re expecting and dreaming of a relaxed, love-filled maternity session, I’d be honored to photograph it for you. Studio or outdoor, solo or with family—let’s create something beautiful together. These are the days you’ll want to look back on, again and again.
