PERTH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT
Whether it’s your first or fourth, pregnancy is a fleeting time in your life. I’d love to capture it for you with Perth maternity photography. Your body is transforming in beautiful ways to reflect the new life growing within. You are becoming a mother. You’ll always remember hearing your baby’s first heartbeat, the first kick, and their tiny little hiccups. Of course you should record the changes you see as well, by documenting your beautiful pregnancy. Maternity photos are personal and documents the changes in your body and how gorgeous you look!
You may choose to have your maternity photoshoot as just the two of us – a private, intimate affair. Or we can include dad and your other children if you have any. This is your day, your session. You get to decide how you’d like it be!
WHEN TO SCHEDULE YOUR PERTH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
The best time to book in for your Perth maternity photo shoot is when you are between 32-36 weeks pregnant. This guarantees full round bellies, but hopefully not the discomfort of late pregnancy! Expect our time together to last half an hour for a mini session or an hour for the full session. Studio maternity photography sessions are scheduled mid morning. Outdoor maternity photography usually starts about an hour before sunset.
WHAT LOCATIONS ARE BEST FOR PERTH MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Whether it’s in my studio, or somewhere outdoors, the location of your photoshoot sets the mood and tone for the images. Some women are more comfortable taking photos in a studio setting. Others prefer the beach or a beautiful field of flowers. And there is others still who want to strip down and celebrate their amazing bodies in all it’s glory. I have a trove of my favourite local photo spots if you would like some suggestions. Please ask, I am always happy to make recommendations!
HOW TO POSE DURING A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT
Nearly all of my clients say that they feel awkward in front of the camera. I expect it! You will never know exactly what do, but trust in me as a specialist in maternity photography, I will guide you the entire time. We’ll be chasing magical light and stunning backdrops, and I’ll be telling you what to do to get the most natural poses that show off your bump and family connection.
WHAT TO WEAR TO A MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT
When booking a full Perth maternity photography session, we have time for multiple outfit changes. I think jeans and an open shirt, a gown or dress, and underwear or swimwear is a great choice. We always start with the most clothing so you feel the most comfortable. Then if you are keen we can show off more skin to whatever degree you’re happy with! If we are at the beach or river you can of course jump in the water. I recommend it to get some truly beautiful photos. Don’t forget to bring your towel!
