Maternity shoots are all the rage and pregnancy is not truly complete without the mum-to-be capturing the good moments.

We have gathered a few tips and tricks that will help you make the most out of your maternity shoot. 

Check them out below:

 1.The Cradle

In maternity photography, this pose which I will call ‘the cradle’ is very popular.

Mothers-to-be often place a hand below or above the stomach in a protective embrace that draws attention to the baby bump.

 2.Dad with the belly

Pregnancy is a team effort and if possible include the father into the shoot. Have the father get close to the belly for an intimate, touching photo.

 3.Wardrobe

Maternity shoots don’t have to be boring, bring in a diverse wardrobe for different looks.

 4. Consider the Trimester

The best time to have a maternity shoot is during the second trimester preferably at 6 months when the belly is showing but you are not too tired after months of carrying your baby.

 5.Accessorize

Zhuzh up your shoot with accessories like flower crowns, toys, tiaras, pillows and boards with witty quotes like ‘Utakuja Lini?’ written across.
