Thanks to Brina, Tom, and their little boy, Thatcher, these studio maternity photos were relaxed, effortless, playful and so much fun! They embraced the Calvin Klein/Gigi Hadid vibes in every sense, and we had a blast together. From the moment of Brina’s inquiry, I just knew I was going to LOVE this sweet growing family! I cannot wait for them to welcome their new baby girl into the world.
As an Austin maternity photographer, this is a SUPER common question I receive. Both settings are SO BEAUTIFUL and can achieve totally different styles and looks. So how do you choose?!
A few things to keep in mind: weather and time of year, outfit choices, and your ability to navigate outdoor terrain easily.
As we all know, living in Texas comes with some funky weather! One second it’s bright and sunny, and the next it’s a downpour of rain. The joys of living in Austin! If it’s a rainy season or it’s unbearably hot, a studio maternity session might make more sense.
If you have a specific look in mind, both can easily be styled and achieved in a studio or outdoor setting. The outdoor location will obviously give you more organic, natural vibes, while a studio will bring in clean, modern vibes. Both are SO beautiful and you really can’t go wrong with either!
And last but certainly not least, keep in mind YOU and your family. Many of my favorite outdoor locations require some walking- some require uphill walking and navigating rocky trails. Studio locations are just a short walk from the parking lot, so if you’re not feeling up for an adventurous outdoor maternity session, I can guarantee your studio maternity photos will be JUST as breathtaking!
If you can’t decide between studio maternity photos and an outdoor maternity session, do not stress. That’s what I’m here for, Mama! Let me guide you in the best direction so that you can soak up these last few moments of your pregnancy journey! This special season of your life deserves to be celebrated.
