A & S – Lifestyle Pregnancy Session in Reading

I will let you into a secret: before becoming pregnant myself, I used to not enjoy maternity sessions as much. I would not say I disliked them, but I guess I did not fully understand what they were about and the overly-posed style of some shots threw me off a bit. Nowadays, it is a completely different story and I can genuinely say I love doing them more and more.

If you have had a read around my site, by now you are probably familiar with the fact that photography is all about memories for me (creating and preserving them). The pregnancy period is SO unique and frankly life-changing. All the expectations and hopes, all the changes in our mind and body, all of our worries… From day one of his/her life, our baby turns us into a completely different person. Pregnancy is that bridge which connects two different lives and two ‘you’. Now that I’ve been lucky to walk that bridge myself once, I would love to preserve that moment for others.

Way too often, I hear friends and clients saying: ‘I wish I had a photo of my bump!’. Personally, I am so glad I have a photographic testimony of that moment of my life. I love to look at them now. I am always surprised at how far that moment seems. Being a mother still felt unreal back then, even with the big bump!

Here is one of my favourite pregnancy sessions. A perfect combination of gorgeous light and beautifully happy people. I really felt like I was being the witness of a precious moment.

If you would like to discuss a similar session for yourself, please email me at berni@bernipalumbo.com. Also, you are still in time to book one of mini photo sessions for a massive reduction from my full price.
