Posing Maternity

Posing Maternity shoots can be difficult. However, maternity shoots can be some of the most beautifully done portraits and they are something that mothers truly cherish. Having a photoshoot done while pregnant is such a special way to honor and celebrate motherhood. These shoots can be great sellers if you make mom look absolutely gorgeous.

Sue takes us through multiple flattering ways to shoot pregnant women including standing, sitting, and lying in the water!

Posing Maternity Key Points:

  • Posing pregnant women can be limiting and it’s not so much because of the pregnancy, but because the focal point changes.
  • When shooting a woman who is NOT pregnant, you would never put her hands on her belly. But, when she is pregnant, it obviously makes sense to put her hands circling her belly.
  • We want to bring as much attention as you can to her pregnancy — you want to define her belly. Always keep the elbows bent!
  • Sue painted a white backdrop to put in the water to shoot the client white on white. You can see a DIY backdrop painting video. She also used a black velvet fabric backdrop.
  • The pool seen in the videos is a kid’s pool that Sue ordered on Amazon.
  • To do a pool shoot, you will need to get above her either with a tall ladder or a balcony. The pool is only filled with about 2 inches of water.
  • Don’t forget to have a camera strap on in case you drop your camera!
  • Once you have her lay in the pool, put a rolled-up towel under her neck for comfort and to keep her from pulling her chin back.
  •  Add flowers to the standing pose to add variety to your client’s pregnancy portraits. Changing up the outfit and adding flowers and tulle will help to increase your sales with more variety!
  • Use the backlight to shoot pregnant women with the wall, standing and sitting.

 

Watch the video and put these tips into action when you’re posing your next maternity shoot! Your client will cherish these photos of her pregnancy for the rest of her life!
