Unique memories

Creative ideas for a pregnancy photo shooting with partner or alone     
A pregnancy photo shooting in a photo studio with your partner or alone is a wonderful way to capture the joy of your new life and create creative, unique memories during pregnancy. But what ideas are there for making the shoot with your partner particularly expressive and individual? And how can your baby bump be staged especially well alone?

At what point during pregnancy is a baby bump photo shooting recommended?

We recommend that you take your pregnancy pictures starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, so that your belly is nice and round. But the most important thing is that you feel comfortable.

Outfits for your baby bump photo shoot

It is important that you feel comfortable in your outfit and that it matches your style. Flowing fabrics such as chiffon or silk can create a particularly romantic and feminine atmosphere and emphasise your baby bump. They move beautifully in the breeze and can make the shoot particularly soft and gentle. To avoid marks on your skin, it is best to come to your photo shoot in slightly wider, comfortable clothing. Your partner should dress in a color that matches your outfits. 

Outfits für dein Babybauch-Fotoshooting

Es ist wichtig, dass du dich in deinem Outfit wohlfühlst und es zu deinem Stil passt. Fließende Stoffe wie Chiffon oder Seide können für eine besonders romantische und feminine Atmosphäre sorgen und betonen deinen Babybauch. Sie bewegen sich schön im Luftzug und können das Shooting besonders weich und sanft machen. Um Abdrücke auf der Haut zu vermeiden, kommst du zu deinem Fotoshooting am besten in etwas weiterer, bequemer Kleidung. Dein Partner sollte sich farblich passend zu deinen Outfits anziehen. 

Creative poses with accessories - this is how you set the scene for your baby bump.

Photos with personal accessories such as the first cuddly toy, an ultrasound picture, the first shoes or a dummy chain for the baby are particularly popular. Balloons or flowers can be used to create colourful highlights on the baby bump photos. There are many ways to integrate accessories into your baby bump photo shoot and to involve your partner if necessary. For example, your partner can provide your baby bump with Post-It's including name suggestions - of course, we are also happy to implement this idea for your baby bump shoot without a partner. 

Romantic photos with your partner

Take romantic photos with your partner that show your love for each other and the anticipation of your baby together. Hug or hold hands while your baby bump is in the foreground. This creates emotional images.

Family and baby bump shooting

Another great idea is to pick up on the family theme and take shots of you and your partner as well as other family members. Whether it's with the proud future sibling, the dog or the best friend.  

Light effects at the baby bump photo shoot

Light and shadow play create real highlights and exciting image effects. The use of an optical snoot creates an exciting picture atmosphere.  

How to be prepared for your baby bump shoot

  • Flowing fabrics like chiffon or silk accentuate your baby bump
  • Avoid tight clothing just before your photo shoot to prevent marks on your belly
  • Bring personal accessories like cuddly toys, ultrasound photos, pacifier chains etc. with you
  • Take other family members or friends with you to the baby bump shoot 
  • For special effects with light & shadow: Ask the studio if they have an Optical Snoot
There are many different ways to make a baby bump shoot more creative and expressive and to capture your pregnancy in beautiful pictures. Feel free to bring accessories and different outfits to the photo shoot. It is important to us to offer you and your baby in the belly a feel-good atmosphere so that you can start your baby bump photo shoot relaxed.
