4 Types of Maternity and Newborn Photography

Maternity and newborn photography are very sensitive. Both require that delicate touch of

capturing the beauty in the right emotion, angle, light and environment. As any good

photography, shooting pregnant women or newborns require passion, what it also needs is a

special training to handle babies carefully, and to be creative without hurting the baby.

Professional maternity photography requires extra sensitivity to understand the moods and

whims of the pregnant mother, and a beautiful imagination to capture the beauty of her changed

body.

There are many types of maternity and newborn photography. Listed here are some of the most

popular types:

Props

This is the most popular type of photography, where you make use of set ups and frames to

create a theme or background. Different props such as baby things, baby names, bowls, wraps,

rugs, baskets, and other props are used. Sometimes even parents or the spouse is used as props;

the focus remains the baby or the pregnant mother.

Family

Family plays a crucial role. If there are already kids in the family, getting them into a maternity

picture can help add a classic look. It can help show off her belly in a different light. Similarly, in

case of a newborn, getting a shot with the other sibling(s) and parents can help bring that

freshness and personalize the experience for the entire family. At the same time, add variety to

the shoot.

Emotion

This is all about focusing on capturing the natural emotions of the expecting mother, the couple

or the newborn baby. For successful emotional photography, you should know to talk the mother

or the couple into experiencing the real emotions without being conscious of the camera. Once

you succeed in doing that, use the moment to capture memorable shots. In the case of a newborn,

it is about getting the right pose and the angle. You can even take help of the parents for

capturing varied emotions.

Natural Environment

This type of photography captures the baby in her natural environment, that is, her nursery,

home, toys, crib, or any other things related to her. It also involves photographing the baby with

her parents. It is very natural for a woman to feel her bulge; capturing this natural thing in her

usual attire or get up without any stage up, can make these photographs very special. Clients

often find this kind of photography more touching as they can easily relate to the captured

moments. These types are one of the most in demand, and come with its own set of challenges

such as improper lighting or timing.
