Whens the best time for maternity
pictures?
I would recommend taking "belly
shots" once a week just for yourself...but have professional pictures done around 7-8 months. Any stretch marks that
you may or may not have can be airbrushed out if you want. Many maternity sessions are done
in my studio. I understand the reasons behind this. I’ve been pregnant 3 times over.
Studio shoots are great because there’s privacy. I can’t argue with that, particularly if you’re going to
do anything in less than a fully clothed state (that’s my PC way of saying naked). But there’s something about
being outside. and taking that natural beauty of a woman who’s ready to bring new life into
the world and placing her in the majesty of the great outdoors is simply breathtaking.
What should I wear to my maternity photo-session?
What
you wear to your maternity photo session will largely depend on the style of
maternity photos you are looking for as well as your level of personal comfort.We
accomplish maternity photos for a variety of women and couples. Some people are
interested in very artistic, nude or semi-nude portrayals of their pregnancy. The
goal with most maternity photos is to capture that time when a woman's body progresses through the remarkable and beautiful changes inherent of carrying a child. These changes include not only your
tummy, but skin, breasts, hips, hair, etc. Capturing these changes help to illustrate the transition you have accomplished.
Others take a more conservative approach and wish to be fully or partially clothed. It is common for a mixture of
those styles to be utilized. No matter what style you would like, you will need to wearclothing that will show off
your beautiful belly. Stretch pants or pants with low waistlines will prevent them from bunching up too much when
lowered to show your tummy. Lingerie, robes, undergarments, button down shirts, blankets can all be used to produce
beautiful maternity photos. Some soon-to-be-moms will even bring props with them like teddy bears,baby blankets, etc.
Bring a mixture of items and just have fun!
Should
I do my maternity portraits alone or with my husband?
That is completely up to you. You may also bring mom or
friends... anyone you like for moral support. If you are comfortable having
them there during your session, then by all means, bring them along.
