Maternity And Newborn Photography Tips From Experienced Hong Kong Photographers
Timing – Maternity Photography
The ideal time for a professional pregnancy photoshoot is early in your third trimester. At this stage, the bump is in its best shape, and Mamas are not too uncomfortable to move around.
Timing – Newborn Photography
For a professional newborn shoot, try to plan it within the first fortnight. At this stage, babies have the lovely fresh-out-of-the-oven look and these pictures have an almost unreal, dream-like quality. If you prefer to wait a bit, most photographers also offer sitter sessions and milestone shoots.
Clothing – Maternity Photography
Your photographer will be able to help with sheer and draped material that can give your maternity photoshoot a beautiful, feminine look. If you are comfortable, show some skin – take off your bra and trust your photographer to use the perfect angles to capture your beautiful baby-making body.
What you wear will also be determined by the location you choose, maternity shoots offer a lot of flexibility when it comes to location. There is something gorgeous about a sun-kissed pregnancy photoshoot at a Hong Kong beach. Similarly, if there is a special story to your baby’s journey, you may like to bring that out with your choice of shoot venue.
Clothing – Newborn Photography
Newborn shoots are usually taken at home. This allows Mamas and babies to be comfortable and natural, sleep comfortably while shots are being set up, etc. If you do choose to shoot at a studio, most newborn photographers are well set up with temporary baby-changing facilities and even a comfortable chair for mum to use while feeding.

Poses – Maternity Photography
Mamas-to-be can naturally be quite awkward about being the centre of attention. Start off slow by taking pictures of only your belly – highlight your bump by placing your fingers in a heart shape around the bump. If you have an older child, you can have him or her kiss your stomach.
Poses – Newborn Photography
Your specialist newborn photographer will know this. Always choose a pose that is safe for a newborn and doesn’t stress the neck.
Props – Maternity Photography
Props for a professional pregnancy shoot are easy. You could use your pregnancy scans, a favourite onesie, baby shoes or mum-to-be sashes that you wore for your baby shower. The highlight of every shoot is growing inside of you and don’t really need to highlight much else.
Props – Newborn Photography
If you have beautiful bedding and swaddles, you could use those as props. Most photographers will bring their own props which could include flower wreaths, toy trains (to lie the baby in), baskets and blankets.
