Type Of Photos
Choosing what type of maternity photos you want is important when booking your shoot with us. We can work with you on one of the following:
Pregnancy Announcement: Just how it sounds, this is a photoshoot usually involving words or signs that show off your first ultrasound. Allowing you and your partner the opportunity to announce the big news to the world! There are plenty of creative ways that our photographers can work this into your photoshoot.
Maternity Photos: In general maternity photoshoots showcase the couple gazing adoringly at your bump. If you have a child already, bringing them into the shoot can be a great touch to show off your beautiful family!
Gender Reveals: These are fun for both the couple and our team as we get to find out live if you are having a boy or girl! Our photographers will work with you to be as creative as possible to reveal the gender of your baby!
When To Book Your Maternity Photos:
The reason we need to know which type of maternity shoot you would like ahead of time is that it will help us determine the best time to conduct the shoot. It is always up to you and your partner, but if you are wondering when to book, here are some pointers:
Pregnancy announcements are usually done by couples around the 13-week mark. This is right around the time that they just had their first ultrasound.
Maternity Photos are often done around the 30-week mark or about 8 months in. This is the time you will most likely be ending your second trimester and beginning your third.
Gender Reveals we typically see couples wait till around the 20-week mark before planning these shoots out.
Of course, we can make any time that you want work, but of course, the most popular times with our couples are usually in the golden hours of the evening. This allows for maximizing the romantic effect!
