During the pregnancy period, mothers go through vivid experiences and many of them are so new, unique and pleasant that they want to store these feelings for forever. Maternity photography is a great way to capture those emotions filled moments for forever. This photography differs from general purpose photography as it is focused more to capture facial expressions, changes in physical activities like walking, standing or sitting and appearance of particular area of the body instead of being primarily focused upon the beauty. Professional photographers emphasize more upon the natural aspect of maternity photography. Dresses, poses and the location play important role in making maternity photos natural and realistic.
Selection of the dress for maternity photography session depends upon the location. If it is a park, prefer to put on something comfortable and casual. If you are going to a studio, you have many options. Flowing type dress exposing your belly is a good option. Wide range of pre-pregnant clothing is available in stores otherwise you may design one yourself also. For designing pre-pregnant clothing you do not need to be a qualified and experienced fashion designer as these are not concerned with fashion or fitting. It depends upon you how much or less you want to expose your belly in the portrait. Casual low waist jeans-shirts, skirts or white dresses are a big 'No' for maternity photo sessions.
Professional photographer will suggest you different poses for the session. Hear his advice but prefer you comfort first. Poses depend upon the location and background. Suppose, if it is a park, lying down on a sheet can not be considered as a natural pose. Walking, standing near flowers, surrounded by the kids may be good poses that make the in-park pregnancy period photos more natural. If you are in the later stage of pregnancy, in-house photography would be convenient. If you do not have costly decoration pieces or very impressive interior decoration, do not worry. By changing the curtains, bed sheets, sofa covers, your dresses, hairstyles or re-adjusting the back ground articles, you may bring freshness in the photographs that are shoot in a single session. Half lying, eating, lying flat, sitting on a lawn chair with pet around etc are good poses.
Choices of poses, dresses and locations for maternity photography are unlimited. Selection depends upon comfortable level, pregnancy stage and personal likings. Maternity photographs should reflect your real culture, living style and physical appearance. Maternity photographs with natural look are more impressive and heart touching.
