Heading into 2020, it’s clear that social
sharing is more popular than ever! Everything is documented, whether it’s as
mundane as your daily cup of coffee or as poignant as your grandmother’s 99th
birthday. And one of the most significant communiqués you’ll ever deliver is
the news that a baby is on the way. A couple of decades ago, expectant parents
may have simply mailed an announcement card. But in the modern age, couples are
finding creative ways to showcase this life-changing event in photos, and then
share the news on Facebook or Instagram.
Photos provide so many opportunities to
capture the genuine emotion displayed when a wife lets her husband know he'll
soon be a daddy, or when an only child is told he's going to be a big brother.
For authentic and uniquely personal maternity
photography, Austin TX families turn to Rising Oak Images to
document this life-altering announcement.
Maternity Photography Austin - Props for Photo Sessions
Rising Oak Images designs photoshoots that
authentically express the personality of the expectant mom and her family
members. Communication and collaboration between family and photographer is the
key to creating unique and memorable images. Below are some creative props and
ideas to introduce in a maternity photo session:
Chalk Boards, Dry Erase Boards, and Other Signage
A mom-to-be surprised her husband by writing
the news on a dry-erase board. The resulting emotion on his face when he read
the message produced an unforgettable photographic image. One especially
creative use of chalk portrayed the expectant mom’s future belly as she stood
sideways against a chalkboard wall. Then there’s the couple who posed their dog
with a sign that read, “My parents are getting me a human.” The possibilities
for incorporating a clever message are limitless.
Clothing, Accessories, and Baby
Supplies
A onesie can display a unique message like
“Can’t Wait To Meet You!” and other items like baby shoes, bottles, rattles, or
blankets can be incorporated into a pose. Older siblings can join the session
when they wear t-shirts that say, “Promoted to Big Sister” or “Only Child
Expiring.” Rising Oak is the family photographer Austin TX parents seek out
to elicit genuine emotions from kids of all ages. And real emotions make the
best photos.
Incorporating Hobbies, Special
Locations, and Favorite Activities
A favorite activity or hobby can make the
photo session especially personal. A couple of outdoor enthusiasts included a
pair of tiny skis in their shoot, and even techies and gamers can find ways to
communicate the big news in a unique way. And If there’s a landmark that has
special meaning for the family, Rising Oak will gladly work to schedule the
session at that location.
