Pregnancy is such a special and exciting time of our life. Every couple are dealing with it on their own way.

This time is a full of joy and long wait for our life to be changed forever.

I am receiving several questions about Maternity Photos, let me answer some of them over here.

1. What week should I do maternity photos?

Maternity portrait sessions are usually done between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, because the belly has got nice and round shape, but I believe it is great idea to start them on the very beginning. You will than capture the progress of the belly grow, can you imagine showing this to your daughter or son when they will be older? Great 18th Birthday present.

2. How should I dress for a maternity photo shoot?

My answer is always “Comfortable”. It is great to bring at least two outfits to the session. One could be a dress and second, something more casual.

Maxi Dresses are extremely popular now. Floor length maxi dress is very flattering on pregnant mom, but wearing a tight, fitted dress will show mum’s all beautiful curves which is stunning.

Sometimes instead of dress moms wear dad’s shirts or t-shirts. I love this idea, it is showing connection between two parents. Try it.

As we mentioned dad, remember not to match dad’s outfit too much, contrast is more than needed. Try to google complementary colours and see which are working together well. Take dad and your cloths out and lay them next to each other, see what composition you like the most. I would recommend sending the photos with your choices to your photographer, to ask for second opinion.

3. Are maternity photo shoots worth it?

By having a maternity photos taken you will be able to give your child part of they life journey, which they would never could see by themselves. They will also be able to experience how excited you have been to meet them to the world. Pregnancy is also part of your life which not last forever and those pictures will allow you to look back on for many years.

I believe that maternity photo session should be on every mom-to-be list, if you agree with me please get in touch: https://mks-photography-studio.com/contact/
