Should I do Maternity Photos for My Second Baby? | Pittsburgh Maternity & Family Photo Session at Mellon Park with Spring Blossoms

I know many Moms who ask me (and ask themselves) if they should do a maternity photo session with their second (third, fourth, etc.) baby. And my answer is always, YES! Definitely!

However, if you did maternity photos with your first baby, things will look a little different this time around because you should include your 1st child and if you hire me as your photographer, it will also be a family photo session!

I think it is so important to not only document your baby belly but to document when you had only one child and to have family photos before you add the newest addition!

I love that this awesome dad was the one to contact and book me for family and maternity photos for his beautiful and growing family!

We decided to do their session at the gorgeous Mellon Park in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, which is conveniently located very close to where this family lives!

We were super fortunate to not only have a perfect day but there were so many gorgeous trees and flowers blooming throughout Mellon Park! We got photos with the Magnolia, redbud, cherry, and apple blossoms! And the daffodils and tulips were also growing! Mellon Park is always beautiful, but it is extra special in the Spring!

I loved working with this beautiful Pittsburgh family and I wish them all the best as they welcome their baby girl into their family this summer! I know that their son is going to make an awesome big brother!
