The home stretch! And it’s time to celebrate, with a beautiful maternity photoshoot to capture and preserved these everlasting memories of your pregnancy.

In today blog I am going to share with you all the tips and tricks that we tell our maternity clients at Dreamy Moon Photography to best prepare for their maternity shoot.

Tips and Tricks

Book your photographer early 2-3 months is a great amount of time. This will ensure that you get to be photographed by your dream photographer who may book out quickly! Your photographer should be very accommodating if you need to reschedule or cancel if anything arises.
Plan out with your photographer exactly what vibe you’re going for. Is it studio or outdoor photography? Neutrals or lots of colours… Do you want solo shots or with your partner and other children. This will ensure that you get the best outcome of the day.
If you’re photographer doesn’t provide a client closet. Put together some outfits and show your photographer to get a professional opinion. At Dreamy Moon Photography we have a range of maternity outfits and a dress guide if you would like to put your own outfit together.
Mama this is the time for you! Get pampered, we suggest getting your hair and makeup professionally done which we can provide in our studio. This will just take any pressure off you. It will allow you to truely relax and enjoy your shoot. I know that pregnancy can make you feel a little bit your self and we want you to feel as beautiful as possible!
And last but certainly not least! Have fun, relax and enjoy the shoot. Trust your photographer they will only capture the best angles and really make you feel like a star on the day. You’re creating beautiful moments and soon enough you will meet your baby.
