HOW TO DO YOUR AT HOME MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT
Leftover bouquets
If you just had a baby shower or announced your pregnancy, you may start to receive a flux of flowers! Instead of letting them go to waste, use them as a prop for your photoshoot. If you don’t have any, you can swing y your local shop and grab a few bouquets! You can even get creative and make a flower crown.
Lighting
No special lighting required! If you have great natural light, that’s all you need. Best tip I can give is to start early and embrace the change in natural light. If you have low light, you can adjust the settings on your camera, or dive deep into that moody vibe.
Outfit change
Honestly, being pregnant and changing clothes is no small feat, but if you can manage it have a change of outfit! You’ll be happy to have a variety of images to cherish later.
Sit down!
Do what you do best at this stage, sit down! Make yourself as comfortable as possible. When you feel good, your experience and images will turn out more natural.
