Partner and Sibling Involvement – Making Family Maternity Photography a Joyful Experience

June 4, 2025

All, Family

What if your maternity photos could capture not just your baby bump, but the laughter, hugs, and excitement of your whole family as you await your newest arrival?

At Stephany Ficut Photography, we believe family maternity photography is about more than just capturing a baby bump—it’s about celebrating the entire family’s love, connection, and excitement. That’s why we make every session inclusive, relaxed, and fun for partners and siblings too.

Steph’s warm and confident approach makes it easy for every family member to feel comfortable and included. Whether you're photographing a shy toddler or a nervous first-time dad, Steph knows how to create moments that feel authentic and joyful.

Why Involve the Whole Family?

Including loved ones in your family maternity photography session adds emotional depth to your images—and it has real emotional benefits too. A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology found that when partners are involved during pregnancy, it improves bonding and emotional support (Habib & Lancaster, 2010).

The American Academy of Pediatrics also notes that involving siblings helps them feel secure and connected during the transition to big brother or sister (AAP, 2020). These emotional connections shine through in photos—and they become treasured memories.

Stephany's Approach to Family Maternity Photography

  • For partners: Steph offers easy, natural direction, making them feel confident and connected in each shot.
  • For siblings: She gently engages kids through play, props, and praise—making them excited to take part.
  • For everyone: With her guidance, even chaotic moments turn into beautiful, candid memories.

Stephany’s goal is simple: to create a family maternity photography experience that feels stress-free, genuine, and joyful.

Want to see how we celebrate every stage of your pregnancy journey? At Stephany Ficut Photography, we understand that each moment—from the first little bump to those final days before your baby arrives—is special and worth remembering.

That’s why we’ve created a full guide to maternity milestones that walks you through what to expect during your session. It’s packed with helpful tips, inspiring photo ideas, and insights on how we capture the magic of every stage.

Whether this is your first baby or you’re growing your family, this guide helps you feel prepared, relaxed, and excited for your session.
