Maternity photography is all about the belly. Make sure our focus stays on the belly and couple, hands and legs are great tools. Place both hands below the belly, one above the belly and one below, one above and slightly to the side and the other opposite. Always try place hands so that fingers are close together and hands are overlapping but not overwhelming the belly. For legs, have mom cross her legs if she is facing you so that you can add more lines toward the belly. This will add focus to the bump much more than if she were straight legged.

5. Nеxt tо a Windоw frоm Mаtеrnіtу Pоѕе Guidе

7. Don’t Forget to Play and Have Fun

Maternity sessions don’t have to be all tender and intimate moments, you can also ask your clients to have a little fun with it. If they’re up for it, have them walk around, dance, and enjoy the moment. Ask them to talk with each other and have the mom say something nice to the dad and then vice versa. This usually causes many of those natural in-between expressions that make for great photos showcasing exactly who your clients are during this moment in their lives.

9. Include Older Children

Maternity sessions don’t only focus on the belly, sometimes there are siblings at the session that also want to join in. This is such an amazing moment to have siblings interact with both mom and dad as well as the belly. Try and take some photos of the family walking or playing and interacting. Add this element to the session will make it feel more natural and can help the sibling participate more willingly. Some pose ideas to try is to have the sibling(s) place their hands on the belly. Then have them talk to the belly or kiss the belly or talk to mom and dad. Interaction poses are always more intimate and meaningful.
