Light and Airy Studio Maternity Photography captures the glow of pregnancy in a pure and simple way. This mama wanted to include her daughter and their bond in her Birmingham maternity photo session before little sister arrives.
I always like to start sessions that include small children with fun, interactive poses. This helps get them to relax so we can sneak in a few more serious and calm images.
What to wear for your light and airy studio maternity session
Laura’s studio is white with beautiful natural light. Light colors like soft blues, pinks and shades of white and tans are great choices.
A long flowy dress that tapers right under your chest and flows out over your belly photographs beautifully and provides movement.
Some mom’s like to add variation to their session by wearing more than one outfit.
5 Poses for natural smiles from your child during your studio maternity session
- Pick them up and spin them
- Ask them to touch your nose with their nose. This will often start with them touching your nose with their finger or simply touching their nose. Those make for cute shots, too.
- Ask them to touch their cheek to your cheek
- Ask them to gently rub your belly or give baby a hug or kiss.
Solo portraits of mom are always included in a light and airy maternity session.
Individuals of children are included in all family sessions so we made time for those, as well. See more from this 2 year olds Heirloom Session Here.
As you can see, light and airy maternity photography is beautiful, joyful, fun and meaningful. You will go home with timeless memories that won’t go out of style and you’ll cherish for years to come.
