Here Is Everything You Need To Know To Prepare For Your Maternity Session!
First of all, congrats on your pregnancy!! That is so exciting and wonderful! Children are such a blessing, and it is a crazy, beautiful, weird wonderful thing to be pregnant!
Now lets talk about your maternity session! The first thing you need to decide is what dress you are going to wear! The type of dress you buy can make a huge difference. Do you want a dress that is fitted or loose and blows in the wind? Do you want a light color or dark colored dress?
If you want a fitted dress, be sure to wear something underneath as those dresses can sometimes reveal more than you want. Having a slip-on underneath can be really great! It removes wrinkles, and helps curve you body in a way that is flattering!
Here is an Amazon link to one:
If you choose a loose dress, you want to make sure that you have space to produce the type of shots that you want! Once you have a dress, you can come up with a location. This will help create an ambience during your session!
Once you have a location and dress, you are almost done! I always encourage clients to look up their favorite sessions online! Look for similarities in the sessions you love online and discuss it with your photographer, so they can figure out how to make your vision a reality. Next step is to practice some of your poses in the mirror with your dress on. Figure out what looks best on you! Which side is your good side?
Lastly, on the day of your shoot, make sure to pee beforehand! Also make sure to get lots of rest the night before and to take breaks often throughout the shoot! I hope this helps you and congrats again on your bundle of joy!!
