Studio Maternity Photo Session Ocean County NJ

Today I am sharing Amanda’s maternity photos from her studio maternity photo session with me from last year. Amanda is one of my best friends so I asked her to come to my home studio in Ocean County, NJ to play dress up for fun. She wore a few of the maternity dresses and separates that I keep in my studio wardrobe for all of you clients to use for their maternity session or postpartum for the newborn photo session.

After the session, I surprised Amanda at her baby shower with two canvases of my favorite images; one of herself and one of both her and her husband. I displayed one at the entrance of the shower and one by the gift table. It was a fun surprise and all of her guests were talking about the beautiful photos of her. Now, she has the canvases hanging in her home.

I had an idea for this fun silhouette photo of her husband almost kissing her belly and Amanda loved it.

I love this classic two piece maternity outfit because it shows off Mom’s round belly.

Amanda brought baby shoes as a prop for her session so we used them a few different ways.

Amanda had that glow that pregnant and new Moms get. It just radiates from her.

I love this picture of Amanda and Lou touching her pregnant belly. It’s natural and beautiful.
I wanted to create something totally different. I found a sash from my own wedding dress and made it a headband to finish this look.

Since then, I have photographed over 3,000 babies!
