Eye-catching maternity photos!
Maternity photos have become popular among celebrities overseas and have spread to Japan as well.
Here are some tips for taking maternity photos at home!
What is maternity photography?
Maternity photos are the first commemorative photos of a family and their newborn baby.
October 10th, I was thinking back on the days with the baby growing inside me.
It is also a very happy moment to take photos while thinking about the future that awaits them.
Some people don't take belly photos because they feel embarrassed or think it would take too much time and money, but after the baby is born, many people regret not taking photos while the baby is still in the womb.
I'm not going to hide it, I'm one of them.
The best time to take maternity photos is around the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy.
At this time, your belly will start to grow larger and your baby's shape will look more beautiful.
Also, since your health is relatively stable at this time, you will probably be able to take the photos with a calm mind.
Easy "Maternity Photos" at home
The advantage of having your photos taken in a studio or by a traveling photographer is that they look beautiful!
With professional poses and the use of accessories, you're sure to get some amazing, extraordinary photos.
On the other hand, depending on the amount, you may be able to keep only a few tickets or it may be difficult to make a reservation.
Some pregnant women may feel embarrassed about having their stomachs seen by people they meet for the first time.
If you're shooting at home, choose a time that's convenient for your family!
You can take natural everyday photos whenever you feel like it.
①Things to prepare
All you need to take photos is your favorite flowers and a camera.
It is recommended to choose flowers that are in season so that you can feel the season when you look back on them later.
Your smartphone is enough for the camera, so if you love photography, be sure to show off your skills!
In addition, having baby clothes and toys prepared for the newborn baby will make for even more wonderful memories.
②Let's make a flower curtain

All you need is clear thread and a sewing needle.
Cut the prepared flowers into short pieces and secure them one by one with a needle threaded through it.
Make several bouquets with 7 to 8 flowers in each, leaving a reasonable amount of space between each one.
Once you've fixed it nicely on the wall of your room, your wonderful photo booth is complete!
However, I'll tell you something: I had a lot more trouble with the detailed work than I expected.
If you want to take some easy photos, you can take some great photos by simply putting together a bunch of your favorite flowers.
3. Take maternity photos!
Once you're ready, start shooting.
Let's take photos of couples and families in a relaxed and natural manner.
It's only because we're shooting at home that we can proceed with the shoot by holding the model's hand on her stomach, bringing flowers closer, and discussing what pose would be best next.
If you have a tripod to stabilize your camera, you can take a group photo.
Maternity photos can only be taken while the baby is still in the womb.
To avoid regretting like me after the baby is born, thinking, "I should have taken photos after all...", I encourage you to try taking maternity photos at home.
