4 Easy Tips for Posing Beautifully in Your Maternity Photoshoot

1) Love your Baby Bump

First off, it's important to connect with your beautiful baby bump. It's important to remember the whole purpose of your maternity photoshoot is to draw attention to your belly! In almost every single shot during your maternity photoshoot, your hand should be touching your belly in one way or another. A soft cradle either on top of your baby bump, or just underneath the belly button area, will help draw attention to your torso.

Be creative during your maternity photoshoot! Experiment with different angles varieties with your arms and hands to find the most flattering position that highlight your curves and the beauty of your pregnancy! An experience maternity photographer will be able to give you guidance as you go! 

2) Posture is important

Good posture during your maternity photoshoot is important so we can showcase your beautiful curves. One easy trick is to keep the closest leg to the camera slightly bent, that helps your hip to naturally swing out slightly in creating beautiful curves to accentuate your belly. 

And you'll want to prevent hunching over with your torso, so you look elongated and elegant in your portraits. 

3) Where to look and expressions

During your maternity photoshoot, you'll find there are so a lot of things happening - the leg bend, the hands, all the flashing lights and a big camera in front of you!

To stay focused and feel relaxed - just connect with your baby bump. Looking at your belly with a radiant smile can be an incredibly simple and beautiful portrait. You can also tilt your head towards the main light source and close your eyes - just soaking in the feeling of welcoming your baby during your maternity photoshoot. 

The classic straight on-looking at the camera portrait, with a gentle smile is one that many moms find flattering as well.
