Maternity photography can be an exciting way for you to immortalize your miraculous journey of childbirth. You can do several unique poses, but some foolproof ones can be done in virtually any setting.
The pose you choose can turn your maternity photoshoot from an okay one to an amazing one. Here are three maternity poses for beautiful pregnancy photos.
1. Walking Poses
Pictures with the subject walking can create a unique aura by adding dynamics and more usage of the setting. An added benefit of choosing this pose is that you may feel more comfortable walking around. Sitting in one place for prolonged periods can make you feel tired, which can sometimes be seen through the camera lens.
Walking poses come in different forms; for a more personal approach, you can have a family photoshoot, leading the dad and smiling at each other. This will surely have anyone looking at the photos in the future gushing at the happy couple.
2. Silhouette Maternity Photos
A silhouette portrait can result in some of the most impressive and eye-catching captures when done right. It involves hiding the subject in the light, so much so that they are presented as simply a dark shadow.
Silhouette photography is more about the surroundings than the subject themselves. This gives the mother more choices about whether they want to do it standing up or sitting down. To make the belly bump more prominent, we suggest you turn and show one of your sides to the camera.
3. Active Maternity Poses
This is a unique concept with a lot of customization potential. The journey towards motherhood requires a lot of planning and preparatory measures like shopping, exercise, and visits to the doctor.
You can use your maternity photoshoot to highlight your journey and everything you’ve experienced. If you’ve recently gotten into maternity yoga, that can be your setting, giving you a distinctive approach to the run-of-the-mill maternity shoots.
Consult an Expert on What Works Best for You
There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to maternity photoshoots. All bodies are different, and each has its own ideal way to be photographed. The difference between a good and great maternity shoot is that the mother feels like herself during them.
