I’m excited to share my maternity pictures that I took at the Desert Botanical Garden with you! As a photographer, one of the most special moments to capture is a family’s maternity session. For me, it was even more special because I was the one in front of the camera celebrating the upcoming arrival of our baby boy.

For this session, my husband and two-year-old daughter joined me for our pictures at the Desert Botanical Garden. My husband actually took the majority of the photos and did an amazing job. (He’s been well trained over the years being married to a photographer. Lucky guy! haha) The variety of scenery at this location made for some gorgeous images, from the cactus gardens to the lush greenery. It’s a gorgeous area!

Maternity photography is not just about capturing beautiful images though, it’s also about preserving the love and anticipation that comes with preparing for a new addition to the family. These memories will be cherished for a lifetime.

Thinking about documenting your pregnancy? As a general rule of thumb, I suggest scheduling your maternity session for when you’ll be between 28-34 weeks pregnant. This is the time when the baby bump is prominent, but before you become too uncomfortable. For me, being 33 weeks pregnant was the perfect time for our session.

As we look back on these pictures, I know they will be a reminder of the love and excitement we felt as we prepared to welcome our baby boy into our family.
