Hi! I’m Ekaterina, a professional New Jersey maternity photographer. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing some tips on how to prepare for your outdoor maternity photoshoot in NJ.
As exciting as it might be, there are several steps you need to take in order to ensure that your photoshoot is a success. Read on and get ready to prepare for your maternity photoshoot in no time!
Location
The location for your maternity photoshoot is very important, as it will set the tone for the entire session.
Choose a place that is meaningful to you and your partner. Or a place that reflects what stage of pregnancy you are in. New Jersey is called the Garden State for a reason! There are so many beautiful parks and gardens. You can check out my top go to locations in Monmouth County and Mercer County HERE.
Choose Your Outfit
The outfit you choose for your maternity photos should not only make you feel comfortable and confident but should also represent the essence of the moment.
Choose an outfit that makes you feel beautiful and highlights the curves of your body. I offer a variety of beautiful gowns that you can use during your session. You can see my gowns HERE.
Consider wearing something that will show off your baby bump, such as a flowy dress, dress with an open front or a wrap top paired with a skirt or jeans. You may also want to consider wearing something sentimental, like a piece of jewelry or accessory that reminds you of someone special in your life.
Posing Tips
Maternity photoshoots are typically done between 28-35 weeks of pregnancy. During this stage, women can usually do most poses without any discomfort – just make sure to listen to your body and don’t push yourself too much! When posing for maternity photos, focus on your beautiful baby bump to show that love and connection with your little one! And don’t forget about dad-to-be – including him in some shots will create memories that will last forever!
Set The Mood
You want your maternity photoshoot to capture genuine emotion—so it’s important that the mood is set just right before beginning the shoot. I want everyone to feel relaxed in front of the camera. It’s easier to capture true emotions when everyone is feeling calm and comfortable!
Find The Right Photographer
The key to taking beautiful photos is finding the right photographer. Do some research by looking at different photographers’ portfolios and reading their reviews before deciding which one is right for you.
Once you’ve chosen a photographer, communicate with them regularly so they can understand exactly what kind of photos you want captured during your shoot. This will ensure that they have all the information they need in order to create beautiful photos that reflect who you are and what this moment means to you.
Preparing for a maternity photoshoot doesn’t have to be stressful—in fact, it can actually be an enjoyable experience!
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create stunning memories that will last a lifetime!
