Choosing a Location for your Maternity photoshoot
Choosing a Location for a maternity photoshoot can be a bit tricky. There are several factors to consider over and above a normal shoot. Below we list some of the main things to think about before choosing your location.
How to choose a venue for your location Maternity photoshoot
- Remember that you will be pregnant – and although that doesn’t mean you are disabled, I can guarantee that moving around when you are 7 to 8 months along will at least be a little more difficult than normal. It is a good idea to start planning and booking early but nothing prepares you for how much harder it will be. So try to choose a location that will still be easy enough for you to move around and won’t involve you climbing mount Everest or anything.
- Are you wanting to have photos in lingerie, or with flowing skirts etc? Then you need a location that is secluded or private and you can be comfortable enough in without any clothes on. Of course for an outdoor shoot its always great to use a dress like these from Baby Bump to add drama and flair instead of going the lingerie route.
- Be sure to research whether there are facilities to change, or go to the bathroom if you need to – This is another thing you will be doing a lot of by that stage of your pregnancy
What time should you book your location maternity photoshoot
When to book your location maternity photoshoot
The simple answer to this is it depends on your pregnancy, every woman is different, and will experience pregnancy differently. For most women, this is between 7 and 8 months – when you are showing enough of a belly, but you are still comfortable enough to move around and not completely over your pregnancy.
Also, be sure not to book too late in your pregnancy so that you won’t get a second chance if necessary.
What time of day should you book your venue for your location maternity photoshoot
As for the time of day for your actual location maternity photoshoot, In terms of lighting, you should book for around an hour before sunset to get the golden hour light. It almost doesn’t matter what location you are using when it’s the golden hour it can turn everything to liquid gold and make everything look amazing.
If it’s overcast don’t fret, this does not mean you cannot get good photographs, as long as the photographer knows what they are doing. In fact overcast lighting can make great portraits. You may need to move your shoot a bit earlier though to compensate, so do be aware and prepare for this eventuality on the day.
