When it comes to posing hands on the chest for nude maternity shots, think cozy and chill vibes. Have the mama-to-be casually rest one hand above her bump and let the other hand cradle the lower part of it. This setup not only shows off that beautiful belly but also brings out a sweet, intimate feel. Keep it real by reminding her to keep her fingers loose and chill, no need to tense up. And hey, mix it up with different angles and lighting to capture those unforgettable maternity moments in style. Just vibe with it and make sure she’s feeling comfy and confident throughout the shoot!
When it comes to making the model feel comfortable, go the extra mile and equip your studio with a dressing gown. This way, she can easily move around between setups for nude photos without feeling exposed or awkward. Providing a cozy robe adds a touch of convenience and helps maintain a relaxed atmosphere throughout the shoot. It’s all about creating a space where she feels totally at ease, so she can focus on showcasing her radiant glow and embracing the beauty of maternity.
TIP: open this link on your phone, screenshot the below images. Create folder: POSING on your phone and save all your posing charts in one place so you can have easy access to them when you need them on your maternity or portrait session.
Alternatively: print the pictures and attach them to your mood board – mine hangs close to the place, where I stand while takich shots during my maternity sessions.
