Clothes and ideas for outdoor maternity pictures?
March 11th, 2010 | by admin |I will be 29 weeks on Friday and I am having some maternity pictures taken to commorate this being my last pregnancy. I have two boys (ages 8 and 2) and I am having a girl. These picturs are gonna be taken outdoors and I need some ideas for clothes to wear and ideas for poses. I want something different an unique but also something I’m not embarassed to show my kids or guests lol. Anyone have any ideas?
Since the part of your pregnancy you are trying to capture is you belly, make sure you wear something that is comfortable, flattering, but shows your belly. As far as poses, you can do them sitting, standing, or laying down. Have your kids and the father in the photos. I saw one where the moms hand, dad’s hand, and 2 kids hands were all touching the belly and it was really pretty, it was also a black and white. daddy kissing the belly is also a classic maternity pose. As with most photos, don’t use hand, front angles. Also, the more candid they are, the less contrived they look. Also, make sure if you are going to have others in the photos that you are wearing outfits that don;t clash. You don’t wnt to be wearing a floral dress if he is wearing plaid, it doen’t match. solid colors look better. Remember to wear make up so you don’t look washed out in your photos. You might feel like a clown, but you want to look like a beautiful glowing, pregnant woman.
One note about this, you are only 29 weeks, most maternity photos are taken a little later, a lot of the time around 32-35 weeks when you are really big. It also sounds as though you are going to be doing these yourself, which is fine. But you could also look into finding a photographer. The woman doing mine actually has a really good priced package for maternity and newborn photos which include print credits and both sittings (about 2 hours each) for $200. Just an idea…
