Pregnancy portraits are becoming increasingly popular as more and more women celebrate femininity and motherhood.
Pregnancy or maternity portraits are particularly popular with pregnant women who are expecting their first baby because having a newborn is an important event for any parent-to-be.
Of course, many women have their portraits made during all their pregnancies as well as a great memento to pass on to each child or simply to commemorate each birth.
Pictures can be a traditional portrait of yourself or a portrait that includes your husband and other children. Many ask for their maternity portraits to be done in black and white to give it a more classic or nostalgic touch.
If you're thinking of having a pregnancy portrait made, keep in mind the following tips.
1. Make sure you are in familiar or comfortable surroundings as a portrait or painting session can be stressful.
2. Determine if you want the portrait as a keepsake for your child or if you want others to view it as well.
Deciding if it should be placed in the bedroom or the living room (for all to see) helps the artist, and you, decide the portrait style.
3. Use natural light to inject a feeling on intimacy or softness into the pregnancy portrait.
4. Not sure which stage of the pregnancy is best for the portrait?
This is the part that can make the portrait a nine-month project. With the help of an artist, get tips as to how to take pictures of yourself each month (e.g., what background, what clothes, etc.) In the end, choose which photograph you like best and give it to the artist to serve as his basis for the portrait.
