Cherish these precious moments
If you’ve recently become pregnant, congratulations! You’re about to begin one of the most challenging yet beautiful periods in your life. There will be struggles, celebrations, and a lot – I mean a lot – of sleepless nights. But it will all be worth it.
Within the nine months leading up to the birth of your little bundle of joy, you’ll face many decisions. One such decision will be whether you should book a maternity session with a professional photographer. There’s no turning back time; thus, you’ll need to make sure you’re fully informed before deciding.
To help you better understand the benefits of booking a maternity session with a professional photographer and what you’ll be missing out on if you skip, we’re going to discuss the benefits of a maternity session and how you can prepare for yours. Read on below to learn more.
Why Book a Maternity Session?
It Relieves Stress
As we’ve briefly hinted at earlier, pregnancy is stressful for all mothers – first-time mothers and veterans alike. You’ll not only experience changes in your body but also mental and emotional struggles. To lessen the chances of these adverse outcomes occurring, you’ll want to engage in any mood-enhancing activity.
It Marks a Change in Your Life
Whether this is your first baby or your seventh baby, your life and your family’s life are going to change in more than one way. So, you’re going to want to grab this opportunity while you can and record these moments with a maternity session. In the future, you’ll be able to look back and see just how much your family has grown through the years.
It’s for Posterity
You’ll want to book a maternity session so that you can show your kids what you looked like while they were still in your womb. After all, your baby will be wondering where they came from in a few years and will be asking you for answers. It will be the perfect opportunity to show them these beautiful pictures from your maternity session when that time comes.
It’s a Creative Outlet
If you have ideas about how you want your maternity session photos to look like, let your creative juices flow! Your photographer will be able to work with you to incorporate your ideas and make the photo shoot feel like your own.
What Should I Know Before the Session?
Timing
When it comes to your maternity session, planning ahead is essential. Since you’re likely going to be hiring a photographer, a hairstylist, and a makeup artist, you’ll need to find a date when your dream team is available. Also, you’ll also want to book a session between 28 and 35 weeks into your pregnancy so that your baby bump is showing, but you’re not uncomfortable.
Rest
Depending on your routine and how you feel, getting enough rest may be challenging. But the night before your maternity session, you’re going to want to get as much rest as you can, so you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to strut your stuff during the day’s photo shoot.
Makeup
If you are putting on your own makeup, you’ll need to remember that makeup looks different on camera. To look your best on the big day, keep these tips in mind:
Apply a good primer for makeup.
- Avoid sheen and shimmer makeup. Go for matte, instead.
- Be bolder when you apply makeup to your lips and eyes.
- Use oil-blotting paper to remove excess shine.
Pose
You don’t need to worry about your pose, as the photographer will guide you every step of the way. But if you’d like some peace of mind, here are some posing tips:
Keep your chest up and your neck long.
- Sideview and three-fourths view show your tummy best.
- You can use your arms to cradle the baby bump.
- Look down at your bump to show a sense of connection.
Remember that these aren’t rules; they’re suggestions. Pose in whatever position feels best, and just have fun with it!
Photographer
The most significant decision you’ll be making when you book your maternity session will be which photographer to work with. You’ll want to find a photographer who is not only well-versed with the technical side of maternity photography but also has excellent artistic and creative tastes.
If you’re not sure where to begin, start by bringing up a list of all professional maternity photographers in your area. Then, go through each of their online portfolios one-by-one. Narrow down your choices to the photographers whose photos you like. After that, you’ll want to read customer testimonials and reviews.
