How to look at your best during your maternity photoshoot

With only some simple steps you you can take, you will look at your best for your maternity photos.
The main goal in a maternity photoshoot is to show the form of the body. But it is actually not different than a portrait photoshoot.

1. Sleep:

Yes, sleep! The day before your maternity photoshoot go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep! Having enough sleep will make your skin look glowing and healthy on the day of your maternity photoshoot.

2. Prepare your skin in the morning of your maternity photoshoot

After a good night’s sleep, your second step will be to apply a simple clay mask. This will make your skin ready for the makeup and get rid of the dead skin for gorgeous maternity portraits.

3. Wear loose clothes before your maternity photoshoot:

As the photos mostly will be focusing your growing maternity belly, it is important not to wear any tight and narrow clothing. This will prevent the lines around your belly. You can also apply baby oil and any moisturizing cream to your belly to make the skin look smooth and flawless.

4. Elegant underwear for elegant maternity photos

It is a good idea to bring and / or buy underwear for your maternity photoshoot. Although you can have bold and sexy colours like red or hot pink, basic colours would be white, skin or black. Underwear made of lace will look timeless and elegant for your maternity photos.

5. Consider your partner’s outfit

This one is for the ladies who want their partners to be present in their maternity photoshoot. Plan the outfits together to have them matching. If your husband will have a buttondown shirt, then you should also bring something in the same line.
