Maternity photoshoot captures the beauty of your growing baby bump.

Every pregnant woman wants the perfect maternity photoshoot. Whether you feel up to the photoshoot or not, the thought of capturing the beauty of your developing baby bump is intriguing, and a must-do.

During pregnancy all you can think about is spontaneous hunger, how much your back aches and fears of popping early, a photoshoot is the last thing you want to sign up for. But guess what? You will regret not getting a maternity shoot done.

Maternity photography is all about the belly and to make sure our focus stays on the belly and couple, hands and legs are great tools.

When should you do a maternity shoot?

If you’re counting by weeks, schedule your session when you’re around 30 weeks pregnant. If you take maternity photos after your eighth month of pregnancy, your maternity might be uncomfortable. You want to avoid taking photos when your belly feels too heavy, usually after 35 weeks

How to Prepare for a Maternity Session?

• STYLE YOUR SHOOT. Discuss with your Photographer the style of shoot you are looking for and confirm they are able to do what you desire.
• PAMPER YOURSELF.
• LOOK FOR PROPS. Plan ahead of time for specific props.
• COORDINATE OUTFITS.
• DON’T STRESS.

When should I take maternity pictures with twins?

Have your maternity pictures taken early.

While we recommend all singleton mamas book theirs for when they are 32-34 weeks along, you will want to have yours taken much sooner since most twins come early and so you don’t feel uncomfortable large in your photos. I recommend some time around 28 weeks.

What should I wear for a maternity photoshoot?

It is no rare experience to work with a couple on wearing their best.

• Try a maxi dress.
• Solids are best.
• Avoid being too matchy-matchy with your partner.
• Belt it.
• Choose two outfits.
• Fitted versus flowy.

What makes the maternity shoot perfect?

Your attitude, a great photographer, some planning and good lighting. The least you can contribute towards a best photoshoot is be yourself, feel joyful and allow yourself to be filled with happiness. That is it. A great photographer will be the one to capture the magic of this combination.
