It's a Boy! Blue-Themed Maternity Session in my Long Island Studio

Maternity sessions aren’t just about the bump—they’re about the love, anticipation, and joy that surrounds a new baby before they even arrive. For this growing family, we created a maternity session that felt fresh, polished, and full of heart—with coordinated blue tones and classic styling that brought the whole story together.

Polished & Personal: A wardrobe built around connection. I styled this session using soft shades of blue—from powder to periwinkle—layered with neutrals that tied the entire family together. The result? A look that felt cohesive and intentional without being too matchy. Each outfit reflected the family’s personality while keeping the overall feel elevated and timeless.

A Family-Centered Approach: Everyone

in the frame. Some of the most meaningful maternity images come from including partners and siblings. We guided this family through natural, connected posing that emphasized closeness—capturing the way they looked at each other, laughed together, and wrapped around mama with love. These weren’t just portraits—they were moments frozen in time.

Studio Simplicity: Clean styling that lets emotion shine. In the studio, we focused on neutral backdrops, soft textures, and gentle transitions to keep the attention on the connection between each family member. The blue tones added a subtle vibrancy, making every image feel fresh, light, and beautifully balanced.

For the Modern Family: Elevated, effortless coordination. If you’ve ever worried about “what to wear,” sessions like this prove how powerful simple coordination can be. With just a little guidance and our studio wardrobe tools, it’s easy to build a look that’s both photo-ready and authentic to your family’s style.

Looking Ahead: Documenting your baby’s first year together. Many maternity clients choose to bundle their session as part of our First Year Collective. This allows you to capture newborn, milestone, and first birthday moments in a consistent, connected way—with the same refined aesthetic across every session.

  • Absolutely. We love including siblings and capturing those early bonds. We’ll gently guide posing to keep things relaxed and sweet.

• What week of pregnancy is best for maternity photos?

  • Anywhere between 28–34 weeks is ideal, depending on how you’re feeling.
