Maternity Photography

Pregnancy is one of the most cherished periods in a woman's life where she gets the opportunity to nurture a new life inside her. As the feeling and experience of being pregnant is so special, it is a good idea to capture some of these moments in the form of portraits and preserve them for the years to come.

Timing

The best time to take maternity photographs is from the six months of pregnancy as it is only after this that women start actually showing. As most women are likely to be a bit uncomfortable with their large bodies during pregnancy, it is a great idea to talk to us about the maternity poses and ideas that you may have in mind. This will help you to be relaxed during the shoot.

Poses

Maternity photographs can be taken in three ways namely fully clothed, semi nude and completely nude. It is entirely up to you as to what you will be comfortable with. If one is going for fully clothed pictures, it will be best to wear clothes that have solid colors and avoid wearing anything that has huge patterns or prints. Black, white or shimmery are good choices.

Involve the Family

Maternity photographs are not complete without involving the people who are close to the mother to be. Apart from the partner it is also important to rope in siblings, grandparents, etc. for a few frames. For maximum effect, it may be wise to ask the family members to color coordinate their clothing before starting the photo session.
