The advantages of this choice:

The camera lens captures little things for the child and pieces of furniture. A girl expecting a baby is photographed in a familiar environment, so she can completely relax, feel calm, and the photographs will turn out natural and relaxed.

Outdoors in summer

Summer time is a great time to conduct a photo shoot in nature. This could be a forest, a park, a field, the bank of a river, sea or other body of water. The undoubted advantage of such photography is the beauty of nature, which cannot be replicated in the studio. Footage captured in nature always turns out bright, vibrant and fabulously beautiful. The disadvantage of such shooting may be unfavorable natural conditions, due to which the photo shoot will have to be rescheduled.

A great idea is to shoot together with your husband, future dad, and if there is an older child in the family, he can also become a participant in the photo shoot, making his contribution - spontaneity. Such truly family photographs turn out warm, touching, radiating love.

In the park

The drawing can be completely different, it all depends on your imagination and mood - a smiley face on the stomach, a small toddler, butterflies, an interesting inscription. The image can be drawn by a photographer or an artist who works in tandem with him. The pattern can be covered with a special fixative to preserve it longer.

Clothes and makeup

Clothes for a pregnant photo shoot should be as comfortable and spacious as possible. Often a dress or sundress is used loose fit, beautiful underwear, shirts or blouses that can be easily unbuttoned, exposing the tummy. An interesting idea is to conduct a photo shoot with a naked body, when the girl is only wearing long segment light, airy fabric (for example, silk or chiffon). This image of a pregnant woman will be gentle, airy, romantic, and the photos will turn out simply amazing.

Sometimes women wear tight-fitting dresses, emphasizing their bulging tummy, creating a clear silhouette. Here everything depends on the woman’s wishes and the photo shoot scenario invented by the photographer. If the photo shoot is themed - for example, nautical - then the clothes should be appropriate - striped vests.

As for makeup, everything is individual and depends on the woman’s wishes, as well as the image that is created for a pregnant photo shoot. For a delicate look, discreet makeup using natural, soft colors in makeup - beige, soft pink, light gray - would be ideal.

If the style of a vamp is closer to you, then you should choose brighter colors, line your eyes with arrows, and choose bright lipstick or gloss for your lips. The main thing is that everything looks harmonious and fully corresponds to the inner state of a woman expecting a child.

Beneficial poses for pregnant women

For maternity photography, photographers have certain schemes, successful poses in which the pictures turn out to be as interesting as possible. Advantageous poses are possible both for a pregnant woman (for a single photo shoot) and for a couple if the photo shoot takes place together with her husband. When choosing a position, you should listen to the advice and recommendations of a professional and the comfort of the woman herself. Look at the photo for examples of such positions.

Price for photographers' services

The price of a photo shoot depends on many factors.

1. First of all, this is the level of the photographer - for beginners the price will be lower, but the quality is not always ideal. The more famous and popular the specialist, the higher the cost.

Creative ideas for a photo shoot and original images

There are a lot of ideas for photo sessions for expectant mothers; you can choose an image that is closest to you, and additionally use various attributes and accessories.

Tell the photographer about your ideas, but you should also listen to his professional advice, because he absolutely has several creative ideas.

With watermelon

Watermelon is perhaps the first idea that comes to a pregnant woman’s mind. Yes, and to the photographer. Its symbolism is obvious: the watermelon is round, reminiscent of the belly of a future mother. Such a photo session is often accompanied by body art, for which a special artist is invited.

With my husband

My husband is a frequent guest at pregnancy photography. There are classic scenes and poses in which a family expecting a baby looks advantageous. A courageous future dad sets off a romantic mother - what’s not the beginning new history, which can be continued when a son or daughter is born?

With a child

If the family already has children, the photographer will definitely offer the following story: a pregnant mother surrounded by babies. Such a photo shoot looks amazingly harmonious if you choose the same clothes for all family members - T-shirts, dresses for girls (including mother), headwear - hats.

Marine style

The marine theme is very close to many photographers, and in connection with pregnancy it gives birth to a lot interesting stories. A sailor and a sailor, and even with several cabin boys - a wonderful photo shoot, leaving behind the memory of a fun time spent. Accessories play an important role here - toys, a compass, a decorative steering wheel.

With inscriptions and drawings on the stomach

One of the brightest ways to decorate a pregnant woman is to come up with an interesting design that decorates her belly. Who is inside - a boy or a girl? This will give the artist an idea, the embodiment of which the photographer will capture in the photographs. Here we consider options that are funny and elegant, plot-based and sentimental, because a pregnant woman is sensitive and often tells herself what she would like.

Below are seven good, fun, creative and touching photography ideas. In some cases, Photoshop skills will be required, in others, a little preparation, planning and a couple of minutes of filming will be required.

1. Reflection

The first three versions of the shooting were performed according to the “before and after” type. Therefore, here you need to plan one or several shootings during pregnancy, and then arrange a photo session after the birth of the baby. The results are definitely worth it!

Photo with reflection is the simplest option. All you need is a little Photoshop skill and a reflective surface in the studio.

2. Basic “before and after” shape

This classic version, but it is not implemented very often, because such shooting requires time and planning of details. During the second shoot, keep the first photo with you to best match the pose and expression of the model. This way you can achieve the best effect.

3. Time-lapse photography

The last type of shooting “before and after” will require best efforts. You need to plan several shoots during pregnancy, and then after the birth of the child. If you try, it will turn out beautiful and touching.

Again, pay attention to the staging. Try to tell a story, this will make the image much more interesting. In addition, dim lighting and a little post-processing will help you achieve great results.

4. The child is loading...

5. Floating Mom

If your Photoshop skills allow, add a little fun, like Charles Brooks did by imagining a pregnant woman like a hot air balloon in danger of flying away. The couple in the photo are musicians, so they have instruments, which makes the photo distinctive, but such props are not at all necessary.

6. Fun with animals

By using animals in the frame, you can take a variety of interesting pictures. For example, capture the moment when a furry pet sees a child for the first time. It’s even more interesting to take a photo before the baby arrives; for example, in the photo above, the dog seems to be listening to what’s happening in his mother’s belly.

7. Phone game

Memories. Photo by: Ivan Geverd

A simple and very good idea for shooting. One of the children can talk to the baby through an improvised telephone line. If there is no brother or sister, let mom or dad talk.

Another idea: Bicycle pump

Inflating your belly with a bicycle pump is another fun way to photograph a pregnant woman. Involve children in the filming process; if they are not in the family yet, then the husband can do this. Facial expression is of particular importance here. The more extreme it is, the funnier the shot and the more memorable the photo shoot.

The pregnancy period for a woman is, of course, difficult. But this magical state I want to capture it for a long time, because it is unique. Waiting for a baby is important event, which should be allocated special place in a family photo album. If you are in interesting position If you are planning a photo shoot, then this article will help you prepare for it correctly.

There are girls who are expecting a baby, but at the same time refuse to do photo sessions with their belly, believing in various groundless superstitions that something will happen to the child after the photo shoot. Nothing like this will happen just because someone will film you. It’s another thing to be afraid of the lens, to feel awkward in front of it, thinking that you have an ugly or photogenic face, a plump figure.

In fact, all this doesn’t matter, the main thing is the mood of the expectant mother, because the camera is sensitive to people’s emotions. Pictures always turn out beautiful if the people in them behave naturally, calmly, they are happy and relaxed. Tense face and Bad mood They will ruin any photo, not just a photo of the expectant mother.

The expectant mother needs to flirt with the camera in the same way as with her husband, do not be shy, relax and think only about your baby. Just imagine the memories you will have of your pregnancy. When the child grows up, you will show him how beautiful his tummy was, tell him how much you waited for him and even then loved him with all your heart. Therefore, do not take into account any nonsense and do not miss the opportunity to make a memorable photo shoot during pregnancy.

At what stage of pregnancy is it better to have a photo shoot?

Everyone who has decided to capture their wonderful state is wondering at what time it is better to conduct a photo shoot during pregnancy. There is no clear opinion on this matter, because every girl’s pregnancy develops differently. The main thing is that the photographs should already show a noticeably rounded tummy, and the girl should not look too tired - even if this is not the very last month of bearing the baby.

1. If you are pregnant for the first time, then memorable photographs can be taken at 32-35 weeks of pregnancy.
2. If you are expecting your second child, then, most likely, your tummy will already be round at 28-32 weeks.
3. If you are expecting several babies at once, then do not delay the photo shoot. Need to get there before 30 weeks.

How to choose a photographer for a photo shoot during pregnancy?

The result of the shooting will depend not only on your mood. A very important role is played by the personality of the photographer, who knows how to professionally pose the model, create an organic space around her, and also make the very atmosphere during the shoot comfortable.

It is the photographer who will process the photographs in which you are depicted; it will depend on him what your face and entire figure will be like. If you choose a non-professional, it is unlikely that he will be able to choose a good angle for you to highlight your charming belly and at the same time hide the swelling and extra pounds that gain during pregnancy.
