I love when a new client signs up during one of my mini sessions and becomes a wonderful, continuous client that I have the honor of seeing year after year. It is such an honor when someone becomes a loyal part of the BSP family. Bailey is one of those clients and I am always more than thrilled when I know we have a session coming up. She is expecting her second daughter and I got to document her North Ridgeville maternity session at the end of her pregnancy.

North Ridgeville Maternity Session

Bailey’s daughter Mila, is such a little ham and honestly, makes my job too incredibly easy! (I also should stop saying that before I jinx myself! Ha!) But I loved getting to capture those last few moments of Bailey & Mila together before she gets to become a big sister. Just going through this myself, I know those last few months, weeks & days with your first born before the second one arrives is such a bittersweet feeling. As soon as that second child arrives, your first born doesn’t look so little anymore and you just wonder, ‘were they always this big’? I actually had a sweet client of mine tell me before I had Theo, as soon as he was here, I’d look at Liam and he would look so old to me and my goodness was she right.

We captured Bailey’s maternity session at home since it was March and still quite chilly outside. I always prefer this option in the winter months with little ones as I think they just participate a little better, even more so when they are in their comfy & safe environment! (Another reason why I love in home sessions so much!) But despite that chilly weather, we did get to have some sun shining through Bailey’s dining room and it warmed those portraits right up.

I love getting to share deep conversations with my clients as we photograph their sessions about the mountains and valleys that motherhood can bring. It feels like such a gift to me getting the opportunity to meet so many moms & getting to make those personal connections through my business. Bailey & I got to talking so much during her session, we could have almost totally forgotten we were there to do a portrait session! While some folks may not prefer that, I love my tribe of clients that allow the room to make those connections during their shoot!

Hey there mama, I’m Brittany! I’m a wife, mama to two and a Cleveland motherhood photographer specializing in maternity portraits. Are you expecting soon? I would love to capture those last precious few weeks before your little one’s arrival! Let’s start the conversation! You can reach me here!
