Maternity Photography

After love, then (maybe) marriage, but before the baby in the baby carriage. Now there’s another step: the maternity photography.

Celebs, of course, have been at it awhile. You can trace the trend all the way back to Demi Moore’s 1991 vanity Cover. Beyonce set the world on fire with her ethereal, fertility goddess inspired shoot. Our own local celebrities, Maurine waititu, Diana Bahati have  revealed  their baby bumps in beautiful photos.
But now, thanks in part to these high-profile renderings, coupled with the aspirational exhibitionism of Instagram and Pinterest. Every day women are becoming bolder about embracing their pregnant form through semi-nude maternity photo shoots. They aren’t afraid to share the images with the world.
From our experience running a maternity photography house, clients have come a long way. When we first started doing maternity shoots 4 years ago it used to be, the woman and her husband would show up in matching black polos and jeans.

Where before women weren’t entirely sure what they wanted, they just wanted the moment captured now they can find an entire community of inspiration on social media. Clients can look at their friends images and say, ‘Oh, I want this.
Now, there’s definitely more of the flower crowns and the beautiful maternity flowing dresses for all our clients

Social Media

Instagram search via hashtags like #maternityphotography, #boudoirmaternityphotos, #milkbathphotography. Reveals a sisterhood of partially clothed, pregnant and empowered women. The aesthetic varies — from provocative bedroom shots of women in black lace lingerie, to dreamy takes of women clad in tulle gowns. Smooth baby bump just protruding above the surface of a milky, flower strewn bath — but the overarching theme is the same.  Pride in the female form and in motherhood.

From our clients

From many of our clients experience, the shoots help them overcome body image issues.
Pregnant women at oftentimes are critical and cynical. ‘Oh, I’ve gotten so fat here, oh my body is changing there,’ It’s a time to stop and say, ‘Hold on, your body is making a human. This is a really beautiful experience and let’s celebrate it.’

Some of our clients have told us they decided to do a maternity photo shoot . Both celebrate and remember the pregnancy because It wasn’t easy for them to get pregnant, so when they did, they were grateful for it all. The morning sickness, growing belly and changing body.

One of our clients, Sharon, a 26 years old business woman told us that one of her highschool friend posted a photo of her pregnancy shoot with Fiesta House on Facebook. Sharon knew she wanted to have the same experience . So once she hit 36 weeks, she booked a session with us.
After a fun session with in our studio Sharon said. ” If I didn’t capture the beauty of the pregnancy, I knew I would regret it. It’s great to see that pregnant women are being embraced in a different way. We finally have the opportunity to do what we want to do and express ourselves in any way we want.”
