At Artin Photography, we want all mommy’s-to-be to feel beautiful, empowered, and incredible. During pregnancy, your body feels swollen, and you are uncomfortable and cranky. The raging hormones are no joke, either. This is when women are at their record low and aren’t as comfortable with their bodies as they used to be before pregnancy.
A maternity photographer should capture the unique beauty of the expecting mother. They should find a way to make the expecting mommy feel flattered so that the maternity photoshoot is an enjoyable memory for both partners. We at Artin Photography understand that what works for one mommy-to-be might not work for another, and a professional maternity photographer will consider that. Let’s look at some ways through which an expecting mother would feel amazing during a maternity photoshoot.
Flatter Her Body
A pregnant woman looks beautiful though these women don’t feel so good about themselves during this time. Their clothes don’t fit, they can’t wear a bikini without having people ogling at them, and they think they look big. We at Artin Photography understand that some poses aren’t so flattering. We have come up with some ways in which you, as a pregnant mom, will rock your maternity photoshoot.
Avoid Straight-on Shooting Angle
Shooting straight-on can make you, as an expecting mommy, look big instead of looking pregnant. We aren’t saying that big bodies aren’t beautiful. However, the point of this photoshoot is to flatter your belly and make you look stunning at the same time. A pregnant woman is already self-conscious about how she looks, so a thoughtful maternity photoshoot is key here. The goal is to make the expectant mommy feel comfortable in front of the camera and remind them why they are the star of the maternity photoshoot. This will make them feel more at ease.
Go for Side Photographs
Even in a selfie, the side-view is flattering. So it goes without reason that a side-view shot will have a flattering angle and help highlight the baby bump while making the expectant mommy feel and look good. A side pose holding your baby bump will work wonders here.
Go for the Tender Touch
Pregnancy can be pretty stressful at times. Add the mood swings into the mix, and voila, you have a strained relationship between the spouses. Through the maternity photoshoot, a professional maternity photographer should use the photo session as a chance to help the spouses reconnect with one another and forget all their problems. How? Get the dad-to-be to reconnect with the mom-to-be and the baby by creating moments of connection. Have the dad’s hand on the mommy’s belly, a forehead-to-forehead pose, and a snuggling pose.
Show Off Her Curves
When you feel vulnerable during your term, you always pick large & loose clothing to hide your body. Still, oversized clothes do not look good during a maternity photoshoot plus, you want your baby bump highlighted, not covered up, right? For the pregnant mommy to feel unique, the photographer should select those clothes that highlight her favorite part of her body.
