A Maternity Photo Shoot At The Beach Leaves Couple Speechless When An Uninvited Intruder Erupts From The Sea

 A Milk Bath

If you want calming and pure yet artistic maternity shoot, why don’t you do a milk bath shoot? Briell O’Neil was 29-weeks pregnant when she shot this photo in her own house. She explains, “When the tub was about two-thirds full, I got into the bath and my photographer started positioning the flowers around me. From there it was all fun! “The great thing about milk baths is the ability to create something unique and personal. I was able to choose the colours and flowers I loved. The blue orchids were a personal touch to me because they were my wedding flowers.”

A Flowing Dress, A Long Trail

A flowing dress that gives off a long trail is one that never fails when it comes to making a statement! If you make a pregnant woman wear that, the beauty of the photograph gets elevated. Annette Palmer was about  40 weeks pregnant when she shot this in Melbourne. “I had stalks of wheat poking me in all sorts of places! BUT when I got these photos back I very nearly cried. I felt beautiful,” she revealed, “To get the flying dress, my sister threw the material up and quickly got out the way. There may have been a little photoshopping too!”

Belly Paints

Check this belly art that Corrina McLean did when she was 34-weeks pregnant. “I had been following her work online for a while and knew it was something I always wanted to do,” she stated. “For my first baby we didn’t know the sex but for my second baby, we did. Kerriann came up with the designs each time. Each piece took around four-to-six hours to complete and I was sitting down during the process, with frequent breaks of course! Getting your belly painted feels amazing, I even fell asleep a couple of times!”

A Country Backdrop

If you want a dreamy and majestic photo, always make use of a country backdrop for maternity photos. Courtney Trotter made use of such a backdrop for her maternity photo shoot. “We just love the country lifestyle and wanted our photos to reflect this. We lined up boots to represent each of our current family members and my husband and I stood in the background,” she confessed.

Reflections And High Contrast

At a glance, this seems like a reflection but if you take a closer look, they are two shots joined together. One is of Kirsty pregnant while the other is one of her, carrying her child on her belly. “I was 34-weeks pregnant with my second baby and the mirror image with my daughter on my tummy was at her newborn shoot around 10-days-old,” she added, “It wasn’t a difficult pose, just a tad challenging with her as she was awake at that point in the shoot. I love how simple it is with the black background though so I’m glad we went that way.”
