Maternity Photos in our Macomb Michigan Photography Studio
Maternity photos taken in our Macomb Michigan photography studio are a wonderful way to capture and celebrate the beauty of your pregnancy. We have a complimentary client closet full of maternity dresses and outfits for you to choose from, as well as countless sets designed to create a warm, timeless feel to your images.
Check out some helpful tips for preparing for your styled photoshoot:
1. Scheduling the Photoshoot: Maternity photos are often taken between the 27th to 35th weeks of pregnancy when the belly is nicely rounded but before you might become too uncomfortable.
2. Discuss your ideas with me: Communicate your ideas, preferences, and any specific poses or themes you have in mind with the photographer - my style is very candid and emotional so I will usually direct my clients to come in to the photoshoot with that in mind - we will have fun, be carefree, and celebrate YOU and how totally empowered you should feel growing another human being!
3. Wardrobe and Styling: Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Flowing dresses, fitted tops, and wrap-style garments can accentuate your baby bump beautifully. Choose from our countless options in the client closet or feel free to bring your own outfits that you feel confident and beautiful in!
4. Hair and Makeup: Professional hair and makeup can help you look and feel your best for the photoshoot. Consider hiring a stylist who is experienced in maternity photoshoots to enhance your natural beauty.
5. Props and Accessories: You can bring along props or accessories that hold special meaning for you and your partner. Ultrasound photos, baby shoes, and name blocks are popular choices.
6. Poses: I will guide you through various poses that highlight your baby bump and if your husband or partner is there with you and wants to participate in the photoshoot - they are more than welcome! We will capture the emotional connection between you two and the joy they feel when feeling a kick from within your growing belly.
7. Lighting and Composition: I will be using both natural light for a candid and warm feeling as well as studio light in some cases as well. Studio lighting can be manipulated to create soft and flattering lighting that complements your features.
8. Relax and Enjoy: It's important to relax and enjoy the experience. The more comfortable and at ease you are, the more authentic and beautiful the photos will turn out.
9. Following the Photoshoot: Editing and proof gallery selection generally take about 1-2 weeks so I encourage my clients to make time to sit down and review their proof gallery right away so I can get started on my editing process and get their final gallery out to them as soon as possible!
10. Gallery Delivery: Your final gallery will be delivered to you with the options to download your digital images in high resolution or web size. There will be an option to order any favorites as prints or wall art as well through quality printing companies.
Remember that maternity photos are about celebrating your journey to motherhood, so let your personality and emotions shine through. With proper planning and the right photographer, you can create stunning and meaningful images that you'll cherish for years to come.
Hope to see you soon in our Macomb Michigan Photography Studio! :-)
So Much Love,
Lindsay
