Maternity Photo Shoot Tips

It's been 30 weeks, and your bump has grown big (and a bit uncomfortable, to be honest!). You suddenly realise that this special and unique moment is nearly over!
But why do people opt for maternity photography, and is it the right choice for you?
It’s a fleeting moment.
Maternity photography sessions mark the beginning of a journey. This fleeting moment passes in the blink of an eye, yet the photos will last a lifetime. As they grow, the children will cherish looking back on these photos, and someday, they'll take joy in sharing them with their own children.
It bridges the 'before' and the 'next'.
Maternity photos offer couples and families a unique opportunity to capture this irreplaceable moment in their lives, a special time that will never recur, no matter how many more children they have.
Older siblings enjoy participating in these sessions, which can ease their transition when the new baby arrives, fostering a sense of connection and responsibility.

Consider if you wish to have professional photos taken.
Having explored a few reasons to opt for maternity photos, it's important to make your decision soon due to the limited window of opportunity for capturing these moments.
Maternity sessions are ideally scheduled between 32-36 weeks, when the baby is nearly fully developed and gearing up for their arrival. By this time, your bump will be prominently visible but not dropped too low for your images.
Studio, Outdoors, or At Home?
Choosing a professional photographer with experience in maternity photography is crucial. The essence of great maternity photography lies in capturing beauty and taste, ensuring you never feel uncomfortably exposed.
For those feeling a bit self-conscious, a session at home might be the perfect choice. It ensures comfort, convenience, and everything within reach. Additionally, this setting allows for the seamless inclusion of newborn baby photos, providing continuity in your photographic journey.
Simplicity Is Key
There's no need to overextend on your maternity package—saving your budget for the baby's arrival is more practical!
Opt for a straightforward package, perhaps with 5 or 10 images. Our customers have expressed a preference for fewer maternity images, favoring more newborn and family photos once the baby arrives.
