Expert Ideas On How To Create Stunning Maternity Photos

1. Maternity Photoshoot Tips and Ideas 1. Pick the right time. Schedule your maternity photoshoot around your seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. 2. Avoid marks on your skin by taking off any tight-fitting accessories like watches and bracelets at least two hours before your photoshoot. 3. Avoid glare. If you are applying lotion to your belly, do so at least an hour before your shoot. This is to avoid a shiny belly-look. 4. If you’re wearing pants, consider black tapering yoga pants and dark jeans—it helps to make your legs look long and slim. 5. Choose shoes that match your outfit. 6. As you choose what to wear for your photo shoot, consider cotton fabrics and silk. They drape beautifully. 7. Avoid swirls, plaids, stripes, and big floral prints. Large prints tend to distract the eye. 8. If you are trying to create pregnancy photos with a slim silhouette, consider wearing black. 9. If you are showing off your bare skin, remember to moisturize your knees and elbows. These parts get pretty dry and it won't look too attractive in your pregnancy photos. 10. If you are going with tighter fitting clothes, carefully choose your underwear too. You may not like the look of panty lines showing up in your maternity pictures. 11. If you want clothes that will complement your pregnant figure, consider form-fitting clothes that have a bit of stretch to them, instead of loose-fitting clothes. 12. If you want to show off your bare belly, wear loose-fitting clothes on the day of the maternity photoshoot to avoid ugly clothing marks. 13. Consider solid-colored shirts. They are great at focusing attention on your belly's shape. 14. T-shirt-length sleeves tend not to be flattering for pregnancy pictures. Instead, consider long sleeves, spaghetti straps, or going sleeveless. 15. Get a manicure or just a light polish for the occasion. This is particularly important if you are getting close-ups with your hands on your belly. 16. Get a pedicure if you want to include your feet in the pregnancy pictures. T U L A M A M A . C O M
