How to Prepare for a Maternity Photoshoot in NYC
A little preparation makes a maternity session feel relaxed and result in photos you love. Here is what to do.
Outfits
Bring 2 to 3 outfit options. Flowy dresses in solid muted colors photograph beautifully. Form-fitting options that show the bump also work well. Avoid busy patterns and large logos. Your skin is the best backdrop for the bump.
Time of Day
Golden hour (one hour before sunset) provides the most flattering light. If your session is midday, our photographers are experienced with shade and overcast light.
Your Comfort
Eat a snack before the session. Wear comfortable shoes to travel between locations. Bring water. If you need rest stops, just say so.
Partner and Family
Including your partner and any older children is beautiful. Dedicate part of the session to couple and family shots, and part to solo bump shots.
