Selecting a Maternity Photographer in NYC
Do you feel like your pregnancy is passing you by? It can seem like such a short moment in the story of motherhood. Right now, moments shared are between you and your baby. During your pregnancy, you experienced those tiny flutters. You were also the first to feel those strong kicks. Professional maternity photography will allow you to recall those cherished moments. The time when your body safely carried your baby, before they were introduced to the world. That may sound beautiful to you. However, you may be thinking that you haven’t felt like yourself during your pregnancy. This is true for most women. Your pregnancy will be a time of many challenges.
Prenatal changes can leave you feeling less than amazing. It’s all the more reason to celebrate your pregnancy, at this very moment. Every mother should have the opportunity to honor the moment with professional photography. Our studio in NYC focuses on creating a luxury prenatal photoshoot experience. One that will make you look & feel your best. We achieve this through a variety of poses, professional lighting, and artistic editing. Our goal is to provide our moms with an unforgettable maternity photography experience. Whether you bring your partner or the family, our artistry as a NYC maternity photographer is suited to your vision.
Your Photoshoot
Right now, you’re deciding on whether to work with a maternity photographer in NYC. You may also what preparations to make for your photoshoot. Here are some top tips. We’ll provide you with a variety of stunning dresses to choose from in our client closet. When your photoshoot arrives, we’ll also guide you in a variety of prenatal poses. Our goal is to highlight the beauty of pregnancy. As well as your body as you carry your child safely into the world. There are a few things you can do to prepare before your professional photoshoot.
Shave or Wax
Three to four days before your scheduled phootshoot, you can prepare by shaving or waxing. If you are not someone who normally waxes, now is not the time to try. Stick with what is most comfortable for your skin. That way, you do not experience any breakouts or reactions prior to meeting your photographer.
Purchase Undergarments
Shop one to two weeks before your appointment for flesh-tone undergarments. The style you purchase is totally your call. Ultimately, it will depend on the aesthetic you are aiming for during your prenatal photoshoot. But we always recommend seamless garments that closely match your flesh tone. This will ensure the garments do not detract from the beautiful gown you’ll be wearing.
Select Your Jewelry
Trying to pick out jewelry for professional photography? The most important thing is to keep it light. We recommend brining your engagement ring, wedding band, and a simple pair of earrings. But, the earrings are entirely optional. If you typically do not wear earrings, then you are welcome to keep them at home.
Otherwise, a simple pair of pearls or studs are welcome. They are understated, and elegant, and work beautifully for prenatal photography. Maternity photoshoots are distinguished by cradling and caressing your bump. Many of your photos and poses will feature the length of your body. Oftentimes, a photographer will find that necklaces and bracelets become objects that take away from this fragile beauty.
Hair & Makeup
You’ll hear professional hair & makeup recommended for many types of photography. Especially maternity photography. A professional hair & makeup artist understands how different looks work (or don’t) in front of the camera. Additionally, professional hair & makeup helps you look and feel your best when working with your photographer.
You sought out a highly skilled photographer in NYC who can bring your vision to life. We know you’ve taken the time to celebrate this moment of your pregnancy just before baby arrives. We also know, that not every mom feels her best during her pregnancy. However, we believe that every mom deserves a moment of her own to step into her beauty. This is why two of our packages come with professional hair and makeup.
Maternity Photoshoot
Jaw-dropping gowns for maternity photography are here to stay. As photographers in NYC, we see plenty of trends come and go. But, when it comes to a prenatal photoshoot, one thing is for sure. Exquisite dresses with lavish detail in bold, vibrant colors, are a mainstay.
What’s Available in our NYC Studio
At our photography studio in NYC, we have a ‘client closet’. It includes a selection of attire for our moms to choose from. Each piece is professionally cleaned and available for our moms to wear during their photoshoot. However, the biggest benefit of selecting a gown for prenatal photography is the design. Each is designed to show off your bump. In a way that allows you to feel empowered & beautiful.
Our selection is vast, and we love how well they pair with a sleek gray background. The gown you decide to wear will depend on the vision you have for your prenatal photos. Each of these fabrics is lightweight and allows us to create momentum, no matter what you select.
Silks
Do you picture a prenatal editorial look? With windblown movement? If so, a silk gown might be best. Silk maternity gowns allow us to work with poses that evoke motion. Additionally, this style often comes with a dramatic leg slit. This will allow you to ‘pop’ your leg out for flattering poses.
Ruffles
Do you picture a look that embodies femininity? If so, a gown full of frills, lace, and ruffles, would be perfect. The soft look of a ruffled dress is a wonderful way to showcase the bond you share with your baby.
Selecting Your Gown
The next step is to select a color. For many, color is symbolic. So you may already have a color in mind. Additionally, some parents like to select a color that represents their child’s name or gender.
However, if you need some help, it’s important to talk to your NYC photographer. Be open about your hopes for the session. What is the overall vibe & feeling you’d like to create? From there, we can provide you with professional feedback on the best colors for your photoshoot. All through the comfort of our award-winning studio in NYC.
