Pregnancy is a special moment of each woman life. There might be ups and downs during those 9 months and probably often you might think you do not want your photos taken. But believe me one day you will want to look back in time. Each pregnancy is different and special in its own way. It is worth to freeze this moment in time, celebrate your pregnancy with your partner and keep photographs not only as a beautiful souvenir but also reminder of amazing work that your body is going to take.
The best time to plan your maternity photo session is between 28 and 33 weeks when your belly is beautifully shaped but still you have lots of energy, as your belly is not yet too heavy. You might also find yourself comfortable having photo session even in following weeks but I do not advise postponing it till you are 9 months pregnant. It could be too much effort and discomfort for you so do not leave planning it for the last moment.
During maternity photo shoot my aim is to concentrate on the most important aspect of the session, which is You mama and your belly. Ideally something that would enhance your beautiful bump. Of course the most important thing is you to feel comfortable and wear what you like. I encourage you to bring any accessories (jewellery, scarfs, belt, etc.)
I would recommend soft natural colours that will correspond well with natural style photography. Choose 1-3 colours with similar tones that will go nicely together. Instead you can play will different fabrics and textures.
I am always happy when futur daddy decides to participate in the session. It is important that your clothes matches the same style. It is better not to match too many colours and patterns. Deciding your outfit think of the environment where you would like to arrange shooting and choose colours accordingly.
I would rather suggest having your everyday natural make up with enhancing one of its elements: if you decided for stronger eye make up keep your lipstick rather neutral or the opposite.
Do not forget about your manicure! Even if you prefer to keep your nails natural make sure they are clean. It regards your partner as well. We will be taking some close ups and details – would be a shame to destroy photos with unflattering hands.
Be prepared for lots of shots with hands on your belly and always staying close to your partner to show bond and connection between all of you. My job is to show how glowing you are and capture this special time for you as a reminder of a great magnificent work your body does!
