the joy of creating life is something precious and unique which deserves to be captured in a maternity portrait (aka: motherhood). having a baby grow inside of you can be one of the most rewarding experiences and to have a special portrait as a maternity gift to yourself and your family to remember that time in your life can be a beautiful idea.
getting ready for a motherhood portrait
maternity portraits are often made in the third trimester when the rounded belly is most prominent. it is usually the seventh or eighth month that maternity portraits are taken.
getting ready for a maternity portrait begins with the first step -- selection of an appropriate studio or a professional photographer. online searches may give you a list of the many studios or photographers available in your area. be sure to see or ask for samples of their work and ask about their rates.
you may get ideas of the kind of maternity portrait that you would like to have by going through examples of their work or from images you have already seen in books, magazines or online. some photographs may be in black and white and can be very artistic so be open to the photographera^EUR^(TM)s suggestions. also ask about clothing choices as the studio will be more experienced in what has been popular for this type of session.
it is up to you to decide if you want to be photographed at home, outdoors or in the studio. consider including your husband in the portrait. it is also not uncommon to have your children included in the portrait. the maternity portrait can be your first baby gift for the baby. it will be a special way to show them how you looked an felt about their coming arrival.
a maternity portrait will have more meaning if it is obvious you are expecting. during the first trimester, the pregnancy will hardly be visible. the seventh month is a good choice as you will look pregnant but may not feel the discomfort that may come with the last month or two. if you are wondering what to wear while creating your maternity portrait, some mothers prefer to have their silhouette taken, some opt to have their portraits done in nude or semi-nude. some have their pictures taken wearing their husband's shirt. it is necessary to wear clothes or gowns that can show your belly prominently.
the maternity portrait could be considered your first family portrait. include dad listening to your tummy for the child's heart beat. if you have older children, have them hugging your tummy, welcoming the child. don't worry about stretch marks showing in the portraits. studios aim to please you and ensure that an expectant mother looks beautiful.
have your portrait taken by a professional and capture the unique experience of being pregnant. a maternity portrait is a wonderful way of treasuring your moments of joy.
