Maternity photography is becoming popular in Hong Kong these days. The best time to take your maternity photos is between 31 and 36 weeks. Your baby bump will have a full, lovely shape and at this stage you will have plenty of energy to move around and enjoy the session.
There are three styles of maternity photography:
Classic – A traditional way to capture your beautiful body at home. Most moms-to-be feel comfortable and relaxed shooting at their own home, and it eliminates the need to travel, especially during the summer! You can choose to pose nude or minimally clothed to show off your full and beautiful belly.
Outdoor – Using a cityscape or nature (such as a park) as a backdrop, I work with the mom-to-be to choose a wardrobe and location that suits their desired mood. Moms-to-be usually wear dresses and let their beautiful belly shine through their clothes.
Family – Sometimes the father-to-be is also eager to get involved, or you have older children that you would like to include. Having your family present will bring a different feel to the photographs, and this can be done at your home or outdoors. It’s completely your choice!
Sometimes it’s possible to combine all three styles into one session. For example, some moms are comfortable showing a little more skin in a quieter park, which is absolutely fine with me. It’s important to let your photographer know what type of images you are looking for before the session.
