{winter maternity session in holly springs} :: Holly Springs Family Maternity Photographer

The winter months are pretty mild in North Carolina. It only gets super frigid for a few weeks out of the year, and if we’re lucky, it’ll snow once…. and by snow, it gives us a dusting. N.C. also will give us a weird 70 degree day during February, so we just pretty much roll with the weather.

Winter isn’t my favorite month for photography, simply because nothing is in bloom. You definitely don’t want your images being all dead, and brown looking. But, this particular location provides the BEST golden hour light and just fills the photo with warmth. I also love the grasses that stay alive during the cold months. In addition to those fabulous things, this maternity session was super fun. I love this family and I’ve been with them for a few years now. They’re getting ready to welcome their second child and I cannot wait to get some snuggles in. The wardrobe for this session was perfect. I love the pastels and mix of patterns and solids.

Maternity sessions are typically 30 minutes in length. This allows for a lot of variety with your images. I always try to also get some images of big brother/sister as well. I love the interaction she had with her momma in this session. So sweet! The time frame of a maternity session also gives kiddos a chance to warm up to the camera as well. Most maternity sessions take place during the third trimester. Book yours before you pop! :)
