Mermaid QLD Newborn Photography | Tips to prepare for your Maternity Session

Congratulations mama, you’ve made it this far in your pregnancy. Surviving the first trimester sickness, second trimester glow and now you are in the final crunch of the third trimester. 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.

Burleigh Heads, QLD Milk Bath Maternity Session

Burleigh Heads, QLD Milk Bath Maternity Session.

Milk Bath Maternity Session, Nude Gold Coast, QLD — Pregnancy photography, Belly to baby.

Leisa was absolutely amazing in her Burleigh heads, QLD Milk Bath maternity session! When she asked me about the idea of a milk bath maternity session the first thing that came to mind was bright beautiful florals. Leisa was up for anything and trusted my vision, which I love when clients trust our creativity. The shoot was taken place in Leisa’s bathroom, with a newly renovated bath set up. It was the perfect shoot location. We hand selected rose pink and pastel pink flowers to float in the bath. Next we filled up the bath with full cream milk to create a nourishing and relaxing experience for Leisa.

The natural light into the bathroom bounced off the white walls beautifully, creating the perfect lighting. Leisa looked like a goddess in the water. Firstly we captured Leisa in a white lace robe, paired with light blush lipstick and she looked INCREDIBLE!

Outfits:

We decided to change it up a little bit and pop on a black outfit which contrasted so lovely against the bright flowers and the white milk bath.

I was so excited when Leisa asked if we could do some nudie shots. I am a sucker for fine art photography. Leisa was honestly glowing! These portraits should be printed on a large canvas and displayed for everyone to see! It’s so important that we take the time out to capture your growing belly and changing body. It’s truely an incredible thing to experience! I am so glad Leisa walked away feeling incredibly beautiful and empowered in her pregnancy glow. It is so important to me as a photographer to enhance the experience of my clients and ensure they walk away feeling incredibly amazing and on top of the world!
