As a luxury maternity photography provider, I make sure that every step of our time together is a smooth and relaxing process. As a mama, I completely understand how important it is to take the best care of yourself all throughout your pregnancy. I have talked before about why I think maternity photography is an incredible gift to give yourself, but once our time together ends, you don’t have to end the pampering! I have come up with a list of other treats to give yourself after our session, because you deserve it. Plan a whole day just for you that starts with our session together, and ends with you renewed and revived.
Glow Birth & Body
Glow Birth & Body is located in Chicago, and they have stellar reviews for their prenatal massages. Their motto is “by women, for women, with women,” and their mission is to provide all the support a mama would ever need. They have an array of services and resources outside of their incredible massages so that you never feel alone at any step of your pregnancy.
Emma Bush
Emma Bush uses The Kinstugi Method in her work and offers prenatal and postnatal massages for her clients. The Japanese method refers to fixing broken pottery, but Emma brings it into her bodywork. Emma’s emphasis is to make your body feel whole and healed after whatever it has been through, and what could be more perfect than that during and after your pregnancy?
The Dana Hotel
Located right in downtown Chicago, the Spa at Dana has created packages just for mamas. This is also a wonderful gift idea to remind your partners of once Mother’s Day is coming around. They have wonderful facial packages as well, but we know that during pregnancy there are a few skincare ingredients we need to avoid, so maybe save the facials for after the birth of your little one! After one of your specialized mama’s massages, you could have an incredible dinner or night all to yourself.
I promise that I will make our time together an absolute dream for you. I know how stressful pregnancy is and the toll it can take on you at times, both mind and body. Having support is so important, and taking the time to be kind to yourself and your body is equally important! I love maternity photography because I use it to allow mama’s to see how beautiful their bodies are, and how powerful and confident they can be! Taking yourself out on a little date, or bringing your partner along with you, is a wonderful way to keep the pampering going after our session. Once your little one arrives, life will get a lot more chaotic to say the least. Take the time for yourself, mama!
