MATERNITY Photography & What To Expect

In a time when our bodies are changing and we’re growing a human being, we often lose ourselves preparing for the arrival of this bundle.

Busy as a mother is an understatement.

But as busy and as tired as we are, there’s nothing more fascinating than those kicks, the movement, the wonder of who this little one will be, what they’ll look like, and everything else that comes with being a mom.

And the realization that no two pregnancies are the same.

This is why photographing this moment is so important.


Why Maternity Photography?

This experience more than just taking pictures; it’s about embracing and every celebrating your incredible journey, your every changing body, and most importantly,

YOU.

Let me take a second to remind you – the odds of you being pregnant is 1 to 400 trillion.

You are carrying a miracle.

The Maternity Experience is tailored to you – from wardrobe selection and styling guidance to posing direction and personalized attention, we ensure that every part of your experience with Aniya Emtage Studios reflects your unique personality and style.

Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, sexy, beautiful and empowered throughout the entire experience.

During your session, you’ll be guided through a series of poses and expressions that get you to a place of comfort where you will be photographed authentically.

While there’ll be some heavy emphasis on your beautiful bump, I’m here to let you know, you are not forgotten.

This is experience is about you.

We’ll dance, we’ll move, we’ll laugh, we’ll get sexy, sexual, and everything in between. Hell, we may even cry.

The key thing is communication, always letting me know how you feel. We have a comfy couch and chairs on the ready if you need to just take a break.

The Maternity Experience doesn’t end with the photoshoot.

We’ll meet about a week after your session for our Photo Reveal and Ordering Appointment.

During this time, we’ll hand select the photos that you love (many choose all!) and finalize those photos for the products you’ve selected to purchase.

You can read more about the Photo Reveal and Ordering Appointment HERE.

a photograph isn’t a photograph until it is printed.

All About YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER Aniya (Ah-knee-ya)

100% of my job is ensuring my clients are comfortable with me. In order to do this, and photograph them, all I ask is that they open up to me, be vulnerable with me, and show me who they are.

Who they really are.

So, here I am, as vulnerable as it gets, sharing about me, to you.

I’m an award winning photographer in the areas of portraiture, documentary family photography and wedding photography. After over 10 years in the wedding industry, documenting the most wonderful couples, it was time for a new direction.

In 2019, I opened my studio, empowering and photographing people from all over the world.
