Congratulations on your news. Your baby will be here before you know it. Not only is it important to capture newborn photos but it is also important to capture your baby bump with maternity photos. It will depend entirely on your photographer however you should book as early as possible especially for weekends as they are generally the busiest.
A collection of some of my favourite images from 2017.
Even though pregnancy comes with a lot of difficult trials, it is an amazing time in your life and it is beautiful to capture pregnancy photos for you to look back on in the future. It is a time of celebration and anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. During this time, you create your initial bond with your child that will continue throughout your entire lives.
A maternity photography session is designed to be relaxed and comfortable. Maternity photos provide gorgeous memories for generations to come, documenting and reminding you how beautiful you looked while your baby was growing. If your photographer is anything like me then they will have a range of maternity drapes, signs and ribbons to show off your belly in your maternity photos. However you may feel a little more comfortable in your own clothes.
I was sitting at my desk thinking about what to write for my next blog post. It hit me that perhaps you might like to know a bit about me so I’ve created a bit of a personal project. I’m going to show you my own personal pregnancy timeline. I did this every 4 weeks starting at 16 weeks with the help of my husband and son. I firstly chose a max dress because this type of clothing is firstly super comfortable when you are pregnant and secondly it knew it was going to stretch with my belly as it grew. It’s great to wear the same clothes in all of your pregnancy timeline sessions as it really enhances your gorgeous pregnant belly. My husband was behind the camera and took these photos for me. I left it on a tripod so he literally just had to press the shutter to take the photo.
Pregnancy is an absolute miracle of life. It is important to capture this time with maternity photos so that you will always have this special time captured. A pregnancy timeline is a great way to capture your growing belly and of course your beauty. You do tend to forget how small or big you were at different stages. With a pregnancy timeline, it means you can see the difference within 4 week periods. The best time to start this timeline is either at 12 or 16 weeks. Then again every 4 weeks until the baby is born.
Congratulations on your beautiful news. You want to get baby photos of your gorgeous bubba as soon as they arrive. So how long before bubs comes, should you book your session? It will depend entirely on your photographer however you should book as early as possible especially for weekends as they are generally the busiest.
Outdoor locations are perfect to create a change in your photo’s backgrounds. Using an outdoor location means you can have a huge variety in background just by moving one metre. To change backgrounds in the studio takes a lot more time and effort. The best part about using an outdoor location is having a wider range of different looking photos based on different backgrounds. Outdoor locations can be used for family photography, maternity photography, newborn photography or wedding photography……any type of photography (provided the weather is fine!)
Happy Mother’s Day! Mother’s are selfless….. They give up everything for their children because their children come first. But I know we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our children are our life and we want what’s best for them…..to give them every opportunity to succeed.
The first year of life is by far the quickest in both physical and emotional development. This means the photos throughout this first year need to be regular to capture the changes. Once this time has passed you won’t be able to get it back.
