Pregnant women deserve beautiful pictures to cherish this special season in their lives. Maternity photography is a chance to display your baby bump in a creative way. With the right poses, you are able to do all you can to create beautiful pictures that you will be proud to look back on in the future.
Most women are afraid of looking unattractive in photographs when pregnant. The positive fact is that the right photographer will understand which tricks can flatter your changing body and show your natural glow. At Prime Photography in Singapore, we provide low-cost maternity photoshoot services that do not strain your pocket to capture this marvellous moment.
1. The Classic Side Profile
The side profile pose is ideal to display your gorgeous bump. Sit with a light touch on the belly and the other hand on the lower back. It is a great pose when you are wearing a long dress revealing your figure.
Shoulders should be held back and chin lifted slightly to achieve the most flattering pose. This eternal pose can be practised at any place and appears to be beautiful in both colour and black-and-white pictures. Our photographers assist in placing you just in the right position so that you can achieve that traditional maternity image that you will be glad to have hanging on your walls.
2. Hands Forming a Heart
Create a sweetheart shape with your hands around your baby bump. You can do this pose standing or sitting, making it very versatile for different photoshoot settings. The heart symbolises the love you already feel for your unborn baby.
This pose works well for both solo shots and when your partner joins in. You and your partner can also hold your hands together to form the shape of a heart. It is a humble and yet significant gesture of displaying the bond that exists between you and your baby. We have photographers who immortalise these emotive occasions, capturing images that narrate your personal maternity story at Prime Photography.
3. Sitting Cross-Legged
You can sit comfortably on the floor or any other soft surface to achieve a calm and serene atmosphere in your photos. You can place your hands on your bump, or let them fall naturally at your sides. Such a pose presents your bump in a new perspective while keeping you at ease during the process.
To make the shoot more comfortable, you can select a soft blanket or cushion to sit on. This is a good pose to use during indoor classes, as it creates a cosy and warm atmosphere. Our team also carries props and comfortable seating to ensure that your maternity shoot is as comfortable as it can be.
4. Partner Embrace from Behind
Bring your partner on board by asking them to stand behind you, wrapping their arms around your belly. This posture indicates how you work as a team and support each other in your relationship as you are about to become parents. It gives a lovely family picture that includes both the soon-to-be parents.
You may have your partner lean his chin on your shoulder or even kiss you on your cheek to make it even sweeter. This is a nice pose when there is natural lighting, and also creates intimate moments that both of you will treasure. At Prime Photography, we guide couples into comfortable positioning to capture genuine connection and love.
5. Looking Down at Your Bump
Form a tender moment by smiling at your baby bump, looking down at it. Bend down and put your hands on your belly as though you are speaking to your baby. This position highlights the silent, reflective scenes of pregnancy.
The low gaze gives a motherly impression that most women associate with pregnancy. It is ideal with natural light through the windows or natural outdoor light. Our team can assist you in creating the most natural and comfortable way of obtaining this touching pose for your maternity photos.
6. Flowing Fabric Movement
Wear a long scarf, sheet or special maternity gown which flutters in the wind or that can be tossed around lightly to create a dramatic effect. This creates action and elegance in your images and even gives the accents to your beautiful bump. If your partner is posing with you, wearing a linen top can complement the flowing fabric, giving your family photos a romantic, artistic touch.
Time the piece of fabric movement with the camera click so that it can be the finest. A little more coordination is needed in this pose, but it produces beautiful pictures worthy of magazines. At Prime Photography, we have done fabric movement shots, and we can help you get the timing to get the best shots.
