Planning For Maternity Portraits

After a very pregnant Demi Moore's sexy cover shoot for Vanity Fair (August 1999), maternity portraits have gone from a rare indulgance to a beautiful and treasured keepsake. With excellent cameras and camcorders, professional photographers specializing in maternity and childbirth, and sexy new maternity wear, any woman can capture every important moment of her pregnancy. Often beginning with that first ultrasound picture that is shared, scrapbooked, and posted online, you are free to express what her pregnancy means to you.

The timing of the maternity session is very important. Many times the best photos are taken in the 3rd trimester. Some women may decide that they want to have photos taken at different times during their pregnancy. You do not want to do the session too early and not have an impressive belly, but don't wait until the swelling hits the feet and ankles.
