Plum Island Maternity Session Portrait Photography
BOSTON NEWBURYPORT MATERNITY SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER
Thinking of scheduling a maternity session? If so, consider booking your maternity session for your seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, as your belly will have a distinct round silhouette shape during this time frame and shows well in photographs. If you’re counting by weeks, plan for your session when you’re around 30 - 33 weeks pregnant. Everyone is different, and you may find that your bump is tending to show later — that’s fine, book when it’s best for you. The key is finding that balance of noticeable bump and physical comfort, knowing yourself and choosing a time when you’re still able to move about with relative ease and have your pictures taken.
Speaking of location, typically you’ll want to select a place that is fairly tranquil, calming, and private — natural surroundings work great in this respect. Home settings are perfectly fine, too. You’ll want to choose clothing that helps to accent your belly, whether it be a dress or blouse that is fitting. In the cooler months, this might mean draping yourself with a cozy jacket or blanket, something that keeps you warm, but can still be opened to reveal your bump underneath. One final consideration for the shoot is props: baby announcements, hats, stuffed toys, family infant heirlooms. I love how K & M brought along their newborn’s booties for us to introduce into some of the shots in the session below.
If you have any questions about perhaps scheduling a maternity session for yourself or a loved one, please feel free to reach out!
