Do you feel awkward being in front of the camera? You are far from alone. In fact, I think many of my clients would say that they feel awkward in front of the camera. It’s a concern that gets brought up during my initial consult during the photography booking process.

Not being photogenic is actually a good thing. Have you ever looked at someone else’s beautiful maternity photos and thought, “Wow, well, she’s very photogenic, and I’m just not.” The truth is that she probably felt the exact same way before her photo session. I hear from mamas (and their partners) all the time that they would love to have professional maternity portraits taken but worry that they’re not photogenic enough.
