Trust in the creativity helping us to create something you love.
Choose outfits you love!
Pick outfits that you love and will feel comfortable wearing. The color of the fabric could be your favorite. So, it makes a nice harmony with your skin tone. The material of the fabric would be in a category that either show your belly perfectly or you feel comfortable moving in when doing different poses. Please consider the season if you would like to have an outdoor maternity photography session. However, just because it is Winter doesn’t mean you need to give up your dreams of wearing an elegant dress.
We highly recommend layers for cold weather. Actually, layers are the key to have a successful maternity photo session. Flowy maxi-length dresses could be options for colder seasons. You will be able to wear long undergarments underneath and leggings as well.
Some accessories such a scarf or a shawl might match with a nice jacket up top.
Everyone deserves beautiful outdoor maternity photos not just the warm season pregnancies!
Focus on your partner:
If you feel nervous front of the camera, focus on your partner. Even if your partner feels nervous as well, I recommend to focus each other. In fact, this seems to be the best approach to feel relaxed and calm during the maternity photography session.
Expressing your love to each other will help in documenting those beautiful moments.
How to show your love to your partner? Simply, with meaningful eye contact. Or, just gently smile and lean on your partner’s shoulder.
There are many ways and poses to express feelings in the maternity photography session.
Include your older children:
Pregnancy is a meaningful period of time for every member of a family particularly for kids. So, if your baby has any siblings, we can include them the session.
Sometimes my clients ask, if it’s okay to bring their older children to the maternity photography session. The answer always is YES, OF COURSE!
They would love being part of the maternity photography with their parents. And including them will result in adorable and blessed pictures with the beauty of their excitement and smiles. We always believe pregnancy is a season of hope and wonder as a family waits to meet the newest member.
So, let’s celebrate and capture it for all members of the family forever.
In addition, this is a good step for older children to make emotional connection with the new member. A maternity photography session in Edmonton is going to be all about capturing of love, hope and excitement that a family has for the new baby.
