Pregnancy is an exciting time in a woman’s life, full of amazing changes and expectations. Many girls want to capture the months of waiting for a tiny “miracle” in order to keep these memories for a long time. Expectant mothers bloom and shine with happiness. They are incredibly feminine and beautiful. You can freeze time in delightful photographs that reflect your quivering feelings, happiness of expectation and love by having a photo session.

Expecting a future baby is an exciting period in the life of every woman, the memories of which you want to keep for a long time. To get beautiful photos for a family album, a pregnant woman should prepare in advance for a photo shoot. To do this, it is recommended to plan the images, choose a place and a photographer you are ready to trust, agree on the date and time of the shooting. Make sure you try your outfit on a week before your pictures to give you a realistic fit and to give yourself enough time to find a backup dress if needed. Outdoor photoshoots are never out of trend—by all means, opt for one. Reach out to Photosasha. Photosasha is serving Cape Cod and wider Massachusetts area.

FAQs

At what week should you take maternity pictures?

The best time for taking maternity pictures is usually between 26 and 34 weeks or when you’re in your third trimester. Your bump is out in full force, but you’re not waddling and swollen like you are in the last few weeks of pregnancy. You also don’t want to schedule your pictures too close to your due date because you never know when you’ll go into labor. However, if this is your second or third pregnancy and you start to show early on, you might get away with taking photos earlier.

How should I pose for a maternity shoot?

You’ll get the most flattering angles of your bump from standing up slightly at an angle towards the camera, but don’t be afraid to sit and lay down as well.

How can I look thinner in maternity photos?

Here are a few tips for looking thinner in your pictures:

-Pick a dress that is form-fitting to accentuate your curves. Or at least tight enough from your bump, up.
-Wear something that covers your arms.
-Pop a knee or bend your hip when you’re standing to define your figure in the full body shots.
-Try to looking down or to the side instead of looking at the front of the camera.

How long should a maternity shoot be?

This will be up to you, but you’ll probably want to plan on at least 30 minutes! If you have other family members joining you or you want to do several outfit changes, plan on an hour – an hour and a half. Your maternity shoot can be a great way to get pictures of the whole family with your bump! Outdoor photos are the best way to get that beautiful golden hour light right before the sun rises or sets for the day.
