My Glam Maternity Session

A few weeks ago I hired a makeup artist, had my hair styled, and stepped into the studio of Little Wild Flowers Photography for a glam maternity session. I’m so excited to share how this beautiful maternity photography session turned out. Although, I may be a bit biased.

Randa’s Note: I paid for this session, but I am so over the moon I wanted to share with you not just for the photos but my experience for those in search for a Prince George maternity photographer. I do see I have locals hop on from time to time. Note: Charla is now located in Penticton, BC.

Okay, it comes as no surprise I like pretty things. I like sparkly things. I like to feel pretty.

Pregnancy is the opposite of all of that.

I was looking for local Prince George photographers to hire for my newborn shoot and that’s when I found Little WildFlowers Photography. (Note, Charla is now a Penticton Photographer).

You know when you find a service that’s so perfect you book it immediately? Yes, that happened.

Charla asked if I wanted a maternity shoot and the first thought that came to mind: oh heavens no.

Pregnancy isn’t my jam…I don’t get the pregnancy glow, I gain weight fast, furious and everywhere and clothes don’t fit. I’m tired so I don’t take care of myself the way I usually would, I guess you could say I’m the frumpy pregnant lady. While I’m pregnant, my confidence is at an all-time low.

Still, I crept her maternity gallery on her site, checked out all her social media and decided to just go for it. I didn’t have a maternity photo session while pregnant with my son so I thought that I should do something different. Besides, if I felt like I looked too big and not like myself in the photographs that in a few years I would look back on them and appreciate it and be mature about what this time in my life meant then. Yes, I totally thought this, yes I know I should be ashamed.

I wasn’t nervous but I did feel self-conscious, and the funny thing is that the moment I walked into her studio – it all went away. Charla is a blast to chat with! The bonus is while she photographs you, there is no feeling awkward at all. She poses, in an unposed way and I love it. It’s natural. It’s beautiful. See for yourself with my maternity photos.

I had my maternity session at 27 weeks.

Again, I have NOT been compensated or sponsored in any way by the post. When I love a service I paid for from hard working women that are putting themselves out there, I love to celebrate and share them (like my Disneyland Photography Family Session with Sarina Arco). 

By the way, I never sought out for a glam maternity session. It just ended up this way. The look I love and Charla’s style just blended so well together, it was a match made in heaven. I like airy and bright, with beautiful accents, and that’s what Charla delivers.

Our maternity shoot consisted of three locations:

  1. Charla’s Studio in her home.
  2. Outdoors
  3. Art Knapp’s (yes, the garden store)

To keep in my budget, the images I chose to purchase were the locations of the first two, so that’s what I’m sharing today. For those who know me well, yes – the budget will be out the window when I have my newborn photography session with Charla.

Oh but it was so difficult to narrow down the photos to just 10, you have no idea how close I was to bumping the package up.

You can also find cute maternity gowns on Amazon affiliate link (some are hit or miss, so be careful but I have heard people rave about lots in some photography groups I’m apart of).

  2. These are gorgeous! Where did you get your red dress from?

  3. Love the pictures!! I think you’re photoshoot turned out beautifully. Where did you get your white dress?
