The perfect time to do a maternity session (a guide line)
We are the beginning of life, miracle makers, life's power!!!
When
Like any successful photoshoot, a maternity photo session takes planning . The first question I get asked is: when should I book my maternity photoshoot? Wanting to know exactly when the best time for a maternity session is, makes a lot of sense.
The window/guideline for a baby-bump session is quite big. You should look to book your photo session to take place anytime between the 29 and 36th week. Indeed, the best time seems to be between the beginning of the 7th month and the end of the 8th month of pregnancy. This is when you are fully showing and before you get too uncomfortable for posing. The most important thing, in my book, is that you feel comfortable and full of energy.
My “mum’s to be” are booked in for their session based on their level of comfort and well-being. Experience has shown that the best guideline is indeed around weeks 30-34. This is when your body has filled out, your belly has popped out and is still a“high bump”, and, very importantly, there are no feelings of tiredness or overwhelmed. Energy levels should be high and ready to enjoy a photo session workout.
How
All sessions are heavily influenced by elegant and authentic simplicity.
All are created with an elegant, timeless and authentic simplicity.
Your body is a miracle and this even more noticeable at this later stage of pregnancy. This is why the focus is on the wee miracle growing inside you.
Following this moto of “less is more” insures that the end results are stunning, the road there planned yet not risky or too tiring. I love to conduct the sessions within the comfort of my studio or of your own home. The main reason being that we not only work in a calm and private environment but are also close to all amenities and a place to rest if needed.
A maternity session really glorifies this incredible moment in the cycle of life but, should not be complicated or lead to complications. I am a big fan of letting life show us and give us incredible cherish-able moments and this by using a totally do-able simple approach.
No fancy clothes.
No complicated posing.
No stress…. Just….. loads of fun!
