As your Bay Area Maternity photographer I live to
document this story… From the moment you first knew
you were carrying your child, their story began to weave
into yours. Lives connected, shared moments, shared
history. The chapters you share will be short, for, in
reality, you are teaching them to write their own story; a
story that begins with the most beautiful kind of love.

If you don’t know each other well — and
even if you do — your client may be nervous
about posing for photos. Your first job is to
find out what she wants from the maternity
session and tell her everything she needs to
know to feel comfortable. “It’s really
important from the get-go to provide the
client with all the information. Get on the
phone and just have a quick chat beforehand,
so that when she comes into the studio
you’re already a little acquainted,” says
maternity photographer Natalie Buck.

In addition to your
camera equipment, you
might want wardrobe
options, props, and a
mirror. Vega says she
always brings pasties
and double-sided tape
to help arrange clothes
to cover a subject’s body
or hide their underwear
while showcasing a baby
bump.

It’s no surprise that many
people want to document the
exciting and special time of
pregnancy. Whether you’re

photographer or you just want
to capture some professional-
looking shots of that baby
bump, here are some tips to
get you started on maternity
photoshoots.

The ideal time for a maternity photoshoot is roughly between 28 and 35 weeks. After 28 weeks, the soon-to-be
mom should have a beautiful belly — and plenty of time left to get photos printed for a baby shower display.
After 35 weeks, however, she may be too uncomfortable to enjoy posing for photos.
