3 Things to Consider When Booking Your Maternity Photoshoot in Nottingham
Capture the beauty of pregnancy with a modern & elegant maternity photoshoot in Nottingham.
Pregnancy is one of the most incredible journeys in life, filled with anticipation, excitement, and countless emotions. A maternity photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate this special time and create lasting memories. If you're expecting and considering booking a maternity session in Nottinghamshire, here are three essential things to think about to ensure you get the best experience and most beautiful photos.
When is the best time to book your maternity photoshoot?
Timing is everything when it comes to maternity photography. The ideal time for your session is between 28 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your bump is beautifully round, and you still have enough energy to enjoy the session comfortably.
Every pregnancy is different, so consider how you're feeling and consult with your photographer to determine the best time for you. If you're expecting twins or experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, you may want to schedule your session a little earlier.
Choosing the perfect location for your maternity photoshoot in Nottingham
Nottinghamshire offers a variety of stunning locations for maternity photography. Whether you prefer an outdoor setting or a cosy studio session, selecting the right location is key to achieving the style you envision.
- Outdoor Locations: If you love natural backdrops, consider places like Wollaton Park, Sherwood Forest, Rufford Abbey or the Clumber Park. These scenic spots are some of my personal favourites and provide the perfect backdrop for your maternity photoshoot, especially during golden hour. I will always work with my clients to decide on the most ideal location, and I am even happy to travel further afield such as a UK beach destination or an adventure out in the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District.
- Studio Sessions: If you prefer a more intimate setting, my cosy natural light studio is a calming and comfortable space, allowing for timeless and elegant portraits. I have carefully curated my studio with comfort and style as my top priorities.
I am always on hand to help you decide on the best location based on the season, weather, and the vision you have for your photoshoot.
What to wear for your maternity photoshoot
Wardrobe plays a huge role in the final look of your maternity photos.
Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect outfit:
- Flowy Dresses: Long, flowing dresses or gowns create a soft, ethereal look and highlight your baby bump beautifully.
- Form-Fitting Outfits: A fitted dress or bodysuit can accentuate your curves and show off your silhouette in a stylish way.
- Neutral or Pastel Colours: Soft tones like ivory, blush, beige, and muted shades complement the natural glow of pregnancy and create a timeless look.
- Accessories & Personal Touches: Consider adding a floral crown, a cosy shawl, or a sentimental item such as your wedding veil or an ultrasound photo for an extra special personal touch.
I have carefully curated client wardrobe with stunning maternity dresses, tops and cover ups to make your session even easier.
