Much like newborn portraits, maternity portraits can be very different depending on the setting. The type that speaks to you is the type you should go for. To help you along, I’ve compiled some past sessions I’ve photographed to give you a sense for the different styles.
Regardless of the type of portrait you choose, I always recommend styling your hair and makeup to the level you are comfortable. That may be minimal styling, going to a professional , or somewhere in between. I’m happy to recommend local hair and makeup pros too. You may feel like you are wearing more makeup than usual, but unless you are wearing an actual clown nose (but, I mean that would be fun maybe?), it won’t appear as heavy as it seems.
Ultimately my goal is for you to look back on this really fleeting time in your life, and be happy that you documented your body doing something amazing.
