Forever Young Photography Studios offers you the Perfect Opportunity to Celebrate your Pregnancy
Undoubtedly, being pregnant is one of the most exciting times in your life. During this important phase, maternity photography is the best way to capture your feelings of joy.
Maternity photography is best done from 32 to 35 weeks gestation. You want your baby bump to clearly be showing but you do want to be small enough still to feel comfortable and be able to maneuver easily and have a good time throughout the photoshoot process. A maternity photo shoot can be held in various locations as indicated below. I realize you may not feel like modeling for the camera when your body feels like it's bursting at the seams. That's why I make the entire photo session as relaxed and joyful as possible. A maternity session can be held at your home, in my professional home studio, or anywhere that is a special place for you. At the end of the day, the main goal is to plan the details of a relaxing, rewarding photo shoot designed to immortalize your deepest emotions when you are still comfortable.
Photos of the mon-to-be are proof that something amazing is happening inside her body. Maternity photos make treasured keepsakes for mom, dad, grandparents, and one day, your grown-up child.
Maternity Session Location
Stunning maternity photos can be taken in your home for a lifestyle session. Intimate photos revolving around semi-clothed poses can be in the studio. On the other hand, if you would rather abandon your comfort zone for an hour and enjoy the warmth and beauty of a serene outdoor area, including a playground, we can do that too!
Preparing for Your Maternity Photo Shoot
Maternity photography has many location options. it's best to be thinking about what you prefer, either an outdoor or studio setting for your maternity session. I'll work closely with you to decide what poses you want, the clothes you want to wear, and how you want to look. For your maternity photo shoot, I can provide you with gowns, halos, and other gender props for your session. Whether you are looking for romantic, glamorous, or natural photos, we can pull it off.
Truth be told, whatever month you're in, I can capture the beauty of pregnancy and the magic that's happening in your life with maternity photos. I use both classic poses and natural looks during the session. Before the session, I will note your requests to make certain they are accomplished. Rest assured, I'll customize your maternity session around your interests and preferences.
You can also have the baby's father present as well as other family members, and even pets too! I want you and everyone you invite to be involved in the shoot. In a gentle, relaxed, fun setting, you can focus on your baby-to-be, your love for each other, and the pure joy of the moment to look back upon and relive this precious time in your life.
Maternity Images to Treasure
The photos from your maternity session will make the most of your beautiful belly. As a professional photographer, it is my job to bring attention to details. Your photographs will reflect the deep emotions and loving connectedness you feel for your baby-to-be during your pregnancy.
Although I take photos at any stage of pregnancy, most mothers consider the period between 7 and 9 months as the ideal time. My appointment calendar is usually booked four to six weeks in advance, so be sure to book early.
What to Wear
What you are going to wear during the photo shoot is almost as important as the location itself. I personally love when soon-to-be-moms choose to wear long, romantic, elegant dresses. The gowns make pregnancy look amazing and also enable them to feel comfortable and stylish during the entire photo shoot. To achieve the best results, I always advise my clients to select beautiful colored gowns that compliment the color scheme of the session. I recommend picking three different gowns for their photo session. Ideally, the first outfit should monochrome pieces, such as a stylish long feminine dress in neutral shades. I love white and a shade of blush. The second one should create a more powerful contrast with the background. I also have a designer gown collection for you to pick from.
For Spring and Summer sessions, I recommend a light-colored dress. Fall and Winter sessions, I recommend that you select a deeply rich, or cream color.
Parents should strive to color coordinate their attire so one person doesn't stand out. I can provide crop tops, gowns, shirts, or other materials for the mother-to-be.
For those looking forward to expressing their joy and excitement during a creative photoshoot, let's put that baby bump into the spotlight and share the moment!
Let's get to know each other, tell me your story, and I'll help you create and store the most meaningful and emotion-rich memories about being pregnant.
