Maternity Portrait Photography - Flaunt That Bump!

Pregnancy can be hard work, especially in that last trimester when you feel like you’re carrying a small rhinoceros instead of a baby! Some women bloom. Some women don’t feel comfortable at all. No matter which category you fall into, you should still consider maternity portrait photography - after all, those nine months fly by, and once they’re gone, you’ll quickly forget both how you looked and felt.

Even if you feel like a beached whale, you’re probably being a little bit biased against your poor, hardworking body. To everyone else, you look fantastic - the pregnant form is a beautiful thing, celebrated all over the world in many cultures and immortalised in carvings, paintings and statues dating back thousands of years. The benefit of the modern-day version - digital photography - of course, is that you don’t need to sit still for hours while somebody carves your likeness out of marble!

Maternity photography is a way to both document and celebrate your changing body - why not book a series of sessions throughout your pregnancy to show your growing bump to remind you of this magical time? Having a maternity portrait photography shoot can be a real boost to your fragile pregnant confidence, too. Find a portrait photographer who will help you to relax, feel at ease and find comfortable and natural poses so that you look your best. Bring your partner and other children if you have them, or perhaps a close friend, sister or your mum. Multi-generational portraits look fantastic and really make you appreciate that old circle of life! Having your partner with you can instantly make you relax, and can create absolutely treasured images of this special time. Similarly, capturing the innocence of toddlers while they cuddle and kiss your blooming bump is always a surefire way to catch a wonderful photo.

Many portrait photographers offer maternity/newborn packages, where you can book a series of sittings from pregnancy, all the way up to toddlerdom, ensuring that you capture all the milestones and stages in your child’s early days.

Flaunt that bump, that gorgeous body and come away with maternity photography portraits you will treasure forever. You will love looking back on these images in years to come, and there’s nothing to compare to the awe and wonder on your child’s face when they see a picture of you, heavily pregnant, and you tell them: “You used to live in there…”
