This fall maternity session was one of my all-time favorites to photograph. I had the joy of photographing this lovely Italian family in Toulouse, in the beautiful south of France, during a golden hour outdoor session at nearly 0 celsius.
The session was particularly special as it took place only a few days before the baby girl’s arrival.
The session was conducted with a mix of Italian, French, and English! But despite the multi-language challenge and the low temperature, this maternity session was fun and relaxed. And it was filled with many in-between moments of palpable love and connection that they shared for one another. The relationship between the mom and her little girl was especially captivating and artistically inspiring.
If you are searching for a maternity photographer and want to know the practical information about a maternity session, this blog post is for you.
Another thing I loved about this recent maternity photoshoot was its location.
Maternity photos outdoors are a great option to consider if you’re searching for a maternity photographer. To help you decide on the location of your maternity photoshoot (studio, in your home, or outdoor), here is a list of benefits of doing your Maternity photos outdoors.
A common objection against maternity photos outdoors during the cold months is the low temperatures. However, if you plan ahead of time and dress appropriately, it is totally possible to have a comfortable session.
Here are a few tips to keep you warm:
When choosing the right photographer to do your maternity photos outdoors, why not consider a more non traditional maternity photos approach?
The main difference between traditional and non traditional maternity photos is the way the photographer will direct (pose) you throughout the session. Traditional photos tend to be stiffer, prioritize everyone looking perfect, and will include a great number (if not all) of images of everyone looking straight into the camera.
Non traditional maternity photos instead tend to value connection over perfection.
These images tend to be about capturing emotions and authentic moments. The photographer’s main goal is to direct you in a way that prompts natural interactions between your family while capturing in-between moments of laughter, looks, tenderness, and love. Most of your images will be of you looking away from the camera: eyes closed, and looking at each other.
There is no right or wrong. It is really about your personal preference!
Do you prefer stiff or relaxed, natural photos? Do you prefer perfect-looking or raw and emotive?
You also need to consider the actual photoshoot experience. Do you prefer being posed and told what to do the entire time, which can be a little bit more stressful, especially for dads and children? Or, do you prefer a mix of being directed and natural, unscripted moments in a way that feels more relaxing and stress-free?
I personally prefer non traditional maternity photos as I love images filled with soul, emotion, and connection. If that resonates with you and you’re searching for a maternity photographer, don’t hesitate to send me a hello in the contact page.
