Tips for a Budget Maternity photoshoot
There are some really beautiful maternity photography ideas out there, but once you realise the cost of what goes in to some of them , its not for the faint hearted. The good news is we are here to give you some tips for some great maternity photography ideas without breaking the bank!
Budget Maternity photography ideas and tips to try
- Maternity dresses are definitely part of the look – to get the drama and movement in the photos you see online these are definitely a must. However, hiring or buying a maternity dress for a photoshoot can be quite costly. Renphotos has come up with a solution to this- we have a small range of skirts that are made with beautiful long flowing material that still create this dramatic effect – at a fraction of the price! So ask us to see our range of skirts available and pair them with a dress you already have – or even tights and a tight-fitting top or lingerie for those of you who want more of a boudoir maternity shoot. The best part is they are more versatile so you can get hundreds of looks from the same outfit.
- I also do not work with an assistant – I ask you to bring a friend or family member with to your maternity photoshoot to throw skirts in the air and create movement . This cuts any extra costs of your photoshoot and is also a fun way for the rest of the family to get involved , as the shoot is mainly about you, but can be a little boring otherwise for everyone else if they just have to stand by and watch.
- You don’t have to hire a fancy venue for a maternity photoshoot. Yes, there are some stunning venues out there, don’t get me wrong, and if you have the budget for it by all means do go ahead with these maternity photograph ideas and looks. However, a good photographer will be able to take great photos in any location. The park close by, or the city, or even your own backyard and the street outside your house are all valid maternity photoshoot locations and completely free!
- One area you should not try to cut costs is your photographer. As per my previous point – it takes a good photographer to see the shot and know how to use the space and the light effectively to create the maternity photography ideas you envision. Choose an experienced maternity photographer that has produced the kind of photos you want to have of your pregnancy – and ask to see their previous work. The proof is in the pudding as they say!
