Maternity Photography NiagaraPregnancy is one of the few truly stunning events in life. The beauty of it is, no two pregnancies are the same and no two births are alike. Every woman feels different about her pregnancy as well. Some feel beautiful, like a goddess. Others feel uncomfortable and anxious about the changes their bodies are going through. We are here to show you that no matter what you are feeling in your head, you’re a glowing, radiantly beautiful giver of life. Deciding to document your pregnancy through professional maternity photography services is a choice you’ll never regret.
Maternity photoshoots are generally booked between weeks 30 and 40 of your pregnancy. Based on our experience, the sessions are best done between weeks 33 and 36, but it ultimately comes down to your unique pregnancy situation and how you feel. Booking a session in earlier weeks is fine, especially if you have a risk of early delivery or you are carrying multiples. As long as you can see the bump, we can work with it! The sessions can take place in the setting of your choice! There are many options to choose from, such as the very popular outdoor setting, or in a studio, or you can go with a lifestyle shoot from the comfort of your own home. We highly recommend an in-home lifestyle shoot. When you look back on the pictures 20 years from now, not only will you see how beautiful you looked during your pregnancy, but you’ll also notice how much things have changed in your life and society in general. This is why it’s a great idea to incorporate your hobbies and interests into the pictures as well. We love working with your ideas and bringing them to life through our amazingly high-quality photos. To help get you thinking about the different types of poses and angles for your maternity session, here are some ideas. Of course, belly shots are the go-to. The belly is the center of attention in maternity shoots. Hands-on the belly is very common, typically done with one hand on top and one on the bottom. A shot from a high vantage point, while looking down at the subjects, also emphasizes the belly. It’s best to try and keep poses natural. Eye contact with the camera is not always necessary. Facial expressions should be varied so you can see what works best when you’re going through the proofs. Shots from a side angle work very well for pregnancy photography. It can be a full 90-degree angle, against a wall, or a softer side angle, like 45 degrees. |

Basic couples posing also works well during a maternity shoot. Go for natural poses and if the belly gets in the way, work with it! Couples sitting together works great. There are many options for this type of pose, like couples facing each other, or sitting one in front of the other, sharing an embrace.
We will talk before your session and try to get a sense of the emotions you’re going through at this time of your pregnancy. Then we’ll keep these emotions in mind during the shoot and try to bring them to life through the setting, facial expressions, and body language.
If you’re not sure what to wear during your maternity session, just ask us! We don’t want to hide the bump. Clothing is very dependent on your choice of setting. Outdoor shoots lend themselves nicely to flowing, clingy dresses with neutral tones. Urban settings may work better with boots and bright colours. Lifestyle sessions in your own home can be whatever you would normally be wearing!
