How to Prepare for a Maternity Photo Session

Sunday, January 29, 2023 | By: mQn Photography

Planning a maternity photo session in the Twin Cities is an exciting experience! As a maternity photographer, I am always honored to participate with soon-to-be moms in this special moment. My advice is to not overthink and just be yourself! When preparing for your maternity photo session, focus on how you want to feel and reflect on this special time. Choose attire that makes you feel beautiful and reflects your individual style. Think about props or items that have special meaning, like a wedding band or baby’s first blanket. Lastly, bring along any support person who will make you feel more relaxed and confident during the shoot. Most importantly, remember that this maternity photo session is an occasion of joy specifically for you!

More Information

What to Wear:

For your maternity session, you'll want to choose comfortable clothing that shows off your baby bump. A flowing dress or tunic is always a good option, and you can also consider a separates like a fitted tank top with a loose-fitting skirt or pants. If you're not sure what will work best, your photographer can help you choose the right outfit for your photos.  Remember Michele offers a great selection of dresses in her studio wardrobe.

What to Bring:

In addition to comfortable clothing, you'll also want to bring along any props that you'd like to use in your photos. This might include things like a special piece of jewelry or a family heirloom. If you have any ideas for specific shots that you'd like to get, be sure to let your photographer know in advance so they can be prepared.

How to Prepare:

One of the most important things you can do to prepare for your maternity session is to make sure you're rested and well-hydrated. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session, and try to get as much rest as possible so you'll look and feel your best on the big day. 

What to Expect:

Your photographer will likely start by taking some general shots of you in different poses, and then they may move on to more specific shots if you have any requests. The whole process usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, but it's important to be patient and let the photographer take their time to get the perfect shot. Remember, these photos will be cherished memories for years to come!

After the Session:

Once your maternity photo session is complete, it's time to relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. In the weeks following your session, your photographer will edit your photos and send them back to you so you can choose your favorites. And before long, you'll have beautiful photographs that capture this special time in your life.
