Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s life when her body is rapidly changing and growing. I remember my own two pregnancies well, marveling at the transformations taking place every week with my belly and my entire body.
For my clients who want to document this ephemeral time, I have lots of maternity photo ideas for their photo sessions. I believe in a focused look, with you as the center of every picture. I don’t use a lot of props and ask women to pose in cheesy ways. My style creates timeless, classic photos that never look trendy or dated. Just beautiful and polished.
Many women want semi-nude photos, and I have been creating elegant, tasteful looks for mamas-to-be for almost two decades. If that’s something that interests you, read Preparing for a Semi-Nude Maternity Shoot – 5 Things to Do first. These types of photos are dramatic and gorgeous. Playing with gently draped fabrics, lacy lingerie, and soft lighting to create a graceful, romantic aesthetic in your maternity photos.
Because every woman is unique, every maternity photo session is different. I encourage clients to express their personalities in our time together. Like this mama who chose a playful, fun photoshoot that even included the family dog.
Other maternity photo ideas include embracing a love of style and fashion, a slightly sporty maternity look, or sexy-casual.
The woman below chose a range of options: some of her photos are casual-elegant, some are romantic and sweet, and some are semi-nude. They all capture her personality and happiness. Check back next week for the newborn photos from this beautiful woman and her new baby.
