For many of our clients, posing is one of the most demanding aspects of the photo shoot. If you’re not quite sure how to make yourself look and feel that pregnancy beauty with a simple change of expression, don’t worry! We’re here to help.

We’ll try out a wide range of poses from standing to sitting and laying. Our goal is to capture your ideas for the session and make you feel your best!
Thanks to my many years of experience as a maternity photographer, I have a good idea of the poses that work best with a variety of body types. Now, I want to share that experience with you to help you feel beautiful in photographs. If you’re not comfortable in a pose, just let me know! We’ll move on to another pose that shows your pregnancy beauty. Remember, this day is all about you!
PREPARING FOR YOUR MATERNITY BOUDOIR SESSION
In some ways, preparing for your session is just as important as the photo session itself! Not only do you want to be physically ready, you want to be sure that you’re mentally ready to come in and make this session your best photo shoot ever! Make sure you’re prepared and ready to go.
Make sure your face is free of makeup. Our talented makeup artists are going to make you over, so come in makeup free!
Don’t style your hair. You shouldn’t use any hair styling products in your hair prior to your arrival. We’ll take care of all of the important details!
If you choose to wax, wax early. You should make your waxing appointment at least two days prior to your session so that there won’t be any redness left over by the time you come in for your shoot.
