Maternity Phots Tips and Ideas by Ally's Photography
MATERNITY PHOTO IDEAS- PHOTO STUDIO IN MIAMI AND TORONTO
I enjoy taking maternity photography. If you’re getting ready to come for maternity photography in Miami or in Toronto , then you’re probably wondering what kind of maternity photo ideas are possible for your maternity photo shoot.
Black and white clothing as an option
I have a number of examples available that we can talk about. For instance, if you want to show off your baby bump with your significant other, consider wearing matching outfits, like button-up black shirts. The style of the shirt makes it possible to keep yourself covered while showing off your bare stomach, and with a black backdrop behind you, you’ll both match and make a lovely photo. You could also do this by wearing white shirts instead with a white backdrop for a hi-key look that is classic and never goes out of style.
Communication as an element
Another photo opportunity that can incorporate your partner is one where he looks like he’s listening to or feeling your stomach and communicating with your child. Moments like those are wonderful to capture for friends and family members, and they really show the love in your new family.
Scarves, wraps, and silks
For solo photos, you might want to consider baring all and using scarves or wraps to cover yourself. The draped cloth looks beautiful against your skin, is soft, and will enhance the look of your baby bump. Scarves and cloth often cascade nicely over your stomach, so it’s simple to create beautiful, flowing lines in your photos.
Lighting in your photos
As a Toronto photographer, I’ve been asked about lighting in the photos. You can choose to have traditional images that have solid lighting across the frame, or your may prefer directional lighting. Directional lighting adds a ethereal feel to the photos, and light will only hit part of your body. The photos will look classic in color or black and white. You can choose to wear scarves, wraps, or your regular clothing of choice.
Silhouette
Another style you might want to try is the silhouette. This type of photo is usually produced with natural lighting, which could include you standing in front of an open window. Your outline will show, so it’s best to wear tight clothing or only jeans and a bra, for example.
