Maternity photography is a special kind of photo shoot that can capture the beauty of motherhood in all of its stages. It’s important to choose a professional photographer who will capture the joyous moments of pregnancy, as well as your baby’s first pictures as a squishy newborn.

Choosing the Right Photographer

If you’re looking for a maternity photographer near you, there are several ways to go about finding the perfect fit. One option is to search online for local photographers who specialize in maternity photography. If you’re looking for someone more professional with lots of options, we suggest searching for a professional portrait studio. Most will have gowns you can wear/borrow, as well as multiple backdrop options. Another option is to contact a photographer who shoots on location only. You’ll be limited on outfit changes and generally, only be able to have one location/backdrop choice, but this is the most cost-effective option if you’re on a budget. When choosing your photographer, remember that you only get to do this one (for this pregnancy) and you want someone who will be able to make you look (and feel) your best!

Tips For Getting Great Photos

There are several things to consider when choosing a maternity photographer for the best results. First, make sure the photographer has experience with both pregnant mommas AND their newborn babies. This means checking their website or social media accounts and ensuring they have a wide variety of past clients. More clients mean more experience. Second, ask them questions about their style and what they prefer to photograph. Third, find out whether they offer packages that include prints, albums, and other products. Finally, check online reviews to see what others think about their work.
