Thoughtful Ways to Add a Personal Touch to Your Session
To help you make the most of your session, I have compiled a list of 5 props for your maternity session. Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned veteran, capturing these special moments is something you’ll always cherish. Take a few moments to browse my recommendations to make your maternity images unforgettable!
1. Your Partner’s Clothing Adds a Sentimental and Sensual Touch
Create memories of your pregnancy with your partner by wearing their clothing for your maternity photoshoot. It adds a unique and personal touch to your photos and is a reminder of how special your partner’s support has been during this journey.
2. Bold or Layered Jewelry Adds a Touch of Personal Style
Layered necklaces and bracelets can add a sexy, sophisticated touch to any maternity session or portrait. Jewelry coupled and the perfect pose accentuates your beautiful baby bump, and adds a sophisticated touch to fabrics and dresses. And don’t forget that bracelets and necklaces can also be clothing. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find out what works best with your style. Go bold and feel sexy!
3. Opera Gloves Adds Class, Sophistication and Sexiness
Opera gloves are those long gloves that extend past the elbow. For an elegant and sophisticated maternity photo session, nothing quite beats the timeless trend of opera gloves. Pair it with gorgeous fabrics, dresses, jewelry or nothing at all. This is the perfect accessory that can add a touch of glamour to your pregnancy portraits. In addition, gloves work beautifully for both color and black and white portraits.
4. Wide Brimmed Hat Adds F-L-Y-ness
Hats lend to an untouchable F-L-Y-ness and look stunning in both color and black-and-white images. Not to mention they are great for side profile and silhouette posing! We offer a variety of sizes and colors in our maternity closet to elevate your look. Make a sexy statement with wide-brim hats.
5. Baby Items Are a Loving Way to Celebrate Your Journey
Be sure to bring along your favorite baby outfits, socks, small toys, nameplates, motivational inscription, or sonogram.
Sonogram
A sonogram is a magical moment for any expecting parents and is a moment that isn’t soon forgotten. Having a photo of a sonogram to mark the moment of “the first meeting” with their baby is an incredible reminder of your journey to parenthood.
Toys
Don’t limit yourself to specific items when selecting pregnancy photo shoot props. Have a little fun and let your imagination run free! Instead of opting for traditional pregnancy pictures, think outside the box and consider using a toy or several toys to create a touching and emotive portrait.
Letter Board and Letter Blocks
A letter board photo session can be taken both indoors and outdoors. Be sure to include funny messages about your future baby or memorable sayings for your partner. Alternatively, you can use alphabet blocks featuring your baby’s due date; it’s an adorable way to commemorate this milestone.
With a little bit of planning, you’ll have beautiful memories of the special bond between you and your baby that will last a lifetime.
Clothing and Shoes
Show off the beautiful clothes or tiny shoes you have bought for your baby. When taking these treasured pictures, you can feel the emotion and sentimentality when you look back and realize how tiny they once were.
