It’s springtime and the flowers will be blooming soon! It’s time to get that maternity photoshoot done before summer hits. It was an absolute pleasure working with this mom to be and I'm so grateful for her time, effort and positive energy! Check out this gorgeous spring outdoor maternity photoshoot from last year in Naperville, IL!
Spring is a beautiful time of year, filled with new beginnings and fresh blooms. It's the perfect season to capture the beauty of pregnancy with a maternity photoshoot. Whether it's your first child or your fifth, a maternity photoshoot is a wonderful way to celebrate this special time in your life.
Here are some tips and ideas to help make your spring maternity photoshoot unforgettable:
Choose a stunning outdoor location Spring is the perfect time to take advantage of the natural beauty of parks, gardens, and other outdoor locations. Look for a location with colorful blooms, greenery, and plenty of natural light. Some great options include botanical gardens, parks with cherry blossom trees, or fields of wildflowers.
Dress for the season Spring is all about light, flowy fabrics and bright, cheerful colors. Choose dresses in pastel shades or floral patterns that highlight your growing belly. You can also consider layering with a light cardigan or shawl for cooler spring days.
Incorporate natural elements Spring is a season of new growth, so consider incorporating natural elements into your photoshoot. You can hold a bouquet of fresh flowers or stand in a field of wildflowers.
Include your partner and/or children. A maternity photoshoot is a special time for you and your partner, but it can also be a wonderful opportunity to involve your other children. Include them in some of the photos for a sweet and meaningful family portrait.
Schedule the shoot during golden hour The soft, warm light during golden hour (the hour before sunset) is perfect for creating dreamy and romantic photos. This is a great time to capture the beauty of nature and the joy of your pregnancy.
The ideal time to schedule your maternity photo session is usually in the third trimester, between 26-36 weeks of pregnancy, but they can be done right up until your due date. I would suggest don't wait a last minute to schedule a maternity photoshoot, this will give you plenty of time to plan outfits, hair and makeup and make sure that you’re feeling your best on the day of your shoot!
