Motherhood is a journey filled with countless milestones, each one unique and worthy of celebration. Whether you’re expecting your first child or your fourth, each pregnancy is special in it’s experiences, emotions, and memories. While many mamas book a maternity session for their first pregnancy, it’s truly is just as important to capture the beauty and joy of each pregnancy.

These Nashville maternity photos with siblings feature a family of seven welcoming their six little one. The five brothers (yes five!!) were so incredibly excited to be welcoming their baby sister and it was such a joy to capture that! This session was an emotional one for mama — a mama who has never known anything other than being a boy mama. She’s my dearest friend and I couldn’t be anymore excited for her and her family and their sweet baby girl on the way!

Reasons to Book Your Nashville Maternity Photos with Siblings

The Joy In Siblings’ Excitement

One of the most heartwarming aspects of including siblings in maternity photos is seeing the excitement of older children for their new sibling and how much joy it brings them. During the session, older siblings can share their thoughts and feelings about the new baby, making the experience all about connection. This not only results in heartwarming images, but also creates lasting memories for your children and creates a sense of feeling included in the journey.

Makes For a Playful Images

Maternity photos for not first time pregnancies are often more playful, making our time together fun and less formal (my favorite kinds of session!). Candid and authentic moments of your littles playing, laughing, and interacting with your baby bump are images mamas can expect. Just as a family session allows all of your littles’ personality to shine through, the same goes for a maternity session with siblings. These moments truly reflect the love that you have for each other and the excitement for the change to come. Years from now, you’ll look back on these images and remember the joy, love, and excitement you all felt as you awaited your little one’s arrival.

Lasting Memories for Your Littles

One of the most significant reasons to book a maternity session with siblings is the lasting memories it creates for your littles. As they grow older, they will cherish the photos that show them eagerly awaiting their new sibling. Children love hearing stories about when they were younger and having photos to accompany these stories makes them even more meaningful. Your maternity photos will become cherished family heirlooms, for both the older siblings and the little one you are bringing into the world.

Each Child Is Worth Celebrating

As your family grows, it’s so important to celebrate each pregnancy. One thing is certain — you will never regret having photos to remember this special time. These images will serve as a timeless reminder of the love, anticipation, and joy that surrounded this new pregnancy. The photos allow you to reflect on the mother you are becoming and not the mother you have been — something we as mamas of multiples don’t get to do often.
