The test turned positive, and suddenly your world feels like it’s spinning with joy, anticipation, and maybe a little bit of, “Wait, is this really happening?” You’ve got a secret—a big one—and you’re dying to tell the world. But before you go shouting it from the rooftops (or posting it on Instagram), why not celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime moment with pregnancy announcement photos? Think about it: years from now, when your little one asks, “What was it like when you found out about me?” wouldn’t it be amazing to have beautiful, professional photos to tell the story? Plus, let’s be honest: this is the perfect excuse to dress up and feel fabulous before the baby bump completely takes over!

Pregnancy announcement photos aren’t just about sharing the news—they’re about marking the start of your journey into parenthood. This is the chapter where you’re dreaming about tiny toes and late-night feedings (well, maybe not dreaming about those just yet). Whether it’s your first baby or your third, this milestone is worth documenting. Photos allow you to freeze time in a way that’s joyful, creative, and uniquely you. Bring along those tiny baby shoes, your ultrasound photos, or even your dog to lick the gender reveal cake—whatever feels most like your family’s vibe.

Let’s not forget the nostalgia factor. Years from now, you’ll look back on these photos and remember the excitement of telling your husband, the butterflies you felt with every new change, and the hopes you had for the tiny human on the way. It’s a chance to capture the beauty of the beginning, framed by all the love and laughter you’re feeling right now.

I offer a unique collection of sessions to document your entire journey from announcing your big news all the way to your little one’s first birthday! Mix and match two or more sessions and receive an album for a savings! All Motherhood Collectives come with a stunning linen album—talk about the ultimate baby book! Learn more here.
