Planning an indoor maternity shoot
Recently, my partner and I had an indoor maternity photoshoot and it was a wonderful experience.😀 I am sharing it with you all so that we can plan something similar in the future when we end up on a bad weather day or an intentional indoor shoot.😉
Here are the steps to take when preparing for a successful indoor maternity photoshoot:
Choosing your location: Determine where in your house or other indoors you would like to have a photo shoot. Consider places with plenty of natural light such as a living room with large windows, a cute little nursery or even a well decorated bedroom.
Selecting a theme or style: Think about the overall look and feel you want for your pregnancy photographs.
Would you like it to be more informal and personal?
More formal and classy?
Visit online galleries (Example: here) to find some inspiration and then share these ideas with your cameraman.
Hiring A Photographer: Get someone who has ample experience in shooting pregnancy stages. Check out their portfolio to ensure that they suit your desired approach. Have a meeting whereby you will discuss concepts, availability, prices and specific requests if any.
Decide on Your Outfit: Select clothing that makes you feel great about yourself. Flowy dresses, body hugging attire that emphasizes on the tummy or even just plain pajamas will all work fine for either of these sessions. View some of my suggestions below:
Prepare Props and Accessories: Collect any props or accessories you intend to include in the photoshoot. This could be a scan image, baby shoes, soft toys or other things that hold sentimental value for you.
Prepare the Space: Clearing up and cleaning the selected indoor location before the photo session will be a good idea. Remove all unwanted items which can distract from taking photos. In order to make it more beautiful, add some flowers, candles or cushions.
Relax and Enjoy: During this day of having your pictures taken take time yourself to rest and pamper yourself nicely get enough sleep eat something little before going there have faith on what the photographer will say just embark on enjoying the process of capturing this special moment.
With these simple steps, you can plan and execute a stunning indoor maternity photoshoot that captures the joy and anticipation of your pregnancy journey.
‘‘Rain or shine, we've got the perfect solution to make any day extraordinary!’’ 😉
