Fort Worth Botanic Garden Pregnancy Announcement Photos
As a baby and pregnancy announcement photographer in Fort Worth, I get to document one of the most exciting moments for growing families. Announcement photos have always been such a joy to photograph. I work with couples expecting their first baby as well as families welcoming another little one. And when you already have little ones at home, it’s the perfect time to include the whole family and make it a family session (as shown in this blog). Those first few months of pregnancy can bring a lot of different feelings and changes, but sharing your exciting news is something worth celebrating.
For the pregnancy announcement session shown in this blog, we went to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden on a summer morning. This family has two little ones and is expecting their third. The Botanic Garden was a perfect location that fit their vision and also gave the older siblings room to play and explore, plus it offers so much variety in one place. It’s one of my favorite spots for photos in the Fort Worth area.
Below are a few things to think about when planning your own pregnancy announcement session.



When Should You Take Pregnancy Announcement Photos?
Most families book their announcement session somewhere between 12 and 16 weeks, or whenever they feel ready to share the news. Here are a few things to think about:
- Announcing at 12 weeks: Schedule your session to take place around the 10 week mark so your images are delivered when you’re ready to share.
- Waiting for the 20-week scan: Reach out before this appointment so we can save a date around the appointment.
- Adding a gender reveal: Combining your announcement with finding out the gender as a family makes for some of the most genuine reactions and it’s so special to document. Schedule your session to line up with when you plan to learn the gender.
Planning Your Pregnancy Announcement Session in Fort Worth
One of my favorite parts of being a maternity and newborn photographer is creating a session that feels most true to your family. I love getting to know you and designing a session that feels natural, joyful, and just like you. As your Fort Worth pregnancy announcement photographer, here’s what to expect when working together:
- Outfit guidance: I’ll send over a style guide when you book and I’m always available to help you with outfit options. With a full-length session, you are also welcome to borrow from my client closet of women’s dresses but my number one rule is that you get to wear whatever makes you feel most beautiful!
- Location suggestions: Whether you’d like a beautiful Fort Worth outdoor location or a cozy session in your home, I’ll help you choose a location that fits your vision and family.
- Guidance during the session: I’ll gently guide you and your family throughout so you don’t have to worry about where to stand, what to do with your hands, or how to keep your little ones engaged. I’ll capture a mix of candid moments and classic portraits throughout our time together.
- Prints and products: Getting your digital gallery back is just the first part of the experience. You’ll have the option to order prints, custom designed albums, and products so your photos don’t just live on your computer.
Session Offerings
As a pregnancy announcement photographer, I offer both petite announcement sessions, perfect for just mom or mom and dad, as well as full-length sessions perfect if you want to include the whole family.

What Comes After the Pregnancy Announcement Photos?
I offer a variety of collections designed to document this season of your growing family. From the announcement to baby’s first birthday, bundling sessions makes it easy to tell the full story.
Maternity photos are typically scheduled around the 28-34 week mark when your bump is more visible. After baby arrives, newborn photos, milestone sessions throughout the first year, and first birthday photos come together to capture many of baby’s firsts.
Envisioning something else? Just reach out and we can design a custom collection for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not showing yet?
That’s completely ok! Announcement photos are more than just about the bump. They’re focused on sharing the news and excitement.
How quickly will I get my photos?
My turnaround time is typically 2-3 weeks. When possible, I’ll send over a few sneak peeks from announcement sessions so you can start sharing when you’re ready.
Can my other kids be in the photos?
Absolutely! Turning announcement photos into family photos (like the photos shared in this blog) is such a special way to celebrate your growing family.
What should we bring to our announcement photos?
You don’t have to bring anything but many families bring along a sonogram, a onesie, or a small book to help announce the news.
