Just have some general fun being us! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-maternity-shoot-propsbackgroundsposes#post-752501 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:05:06 +0000 shopaholic 752501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Common prop everyone uses: a pair of teeny tiny baby shoes!<br /> We didn't end up using too many props because the location wouldn't let us bring them in. I brought a little garland with letters that spelled out baby's name. I've seen people use baby wooden blocks for that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-maternity-shoot-propsbackgroundsposes#post-752488 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:01:30 +0000 yourekindapretty 752488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you can get the lightening right, i LOVE silhouette photos</p> <p><a href="http://indulgy.com/post/IF87iWhVO1/love-the-silhouette-maternity-shot" rel="nofollow">http://indulgy.com/post/IF87iWhVO1/love-the-silhouette-maternity-shot</a></p> <p>sit in grass with the dad "reading" childrens book (focal point is the book) so it looks like the dad is reading to the baby... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-maternity-shoot-propsbackgroundsposes#post-752295 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:57:41 +0000 .twist. 752295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! I am trying to get ideas for our mat photos too! I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say about this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-maternity-shoot-propsbackgroundsposes#post-752287 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:55:00 +0000 littlek 752287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took ours in a park. The only props we used was a blanket to sit on. I think if you are taking your pictures outside, you don't really need any props. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-for-maternity-shoot-propsbackgroundsposes#post-752239 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:44:45 +0000 Bookish 752239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are having maternity pics taken the weekend after next, and I have no idea what the heck to expect. Our photographer is a student who does really great work (she did our engagement and anniversary pics), but her portfolio is pretty slim on maternity/newborn side. Because of this, I want to make sure I have some ideas for her, in case she comes in clueless ;) </p> <p>We plan on taking them in our front/back yard (we have a swing set and lots of trees), as well as near the neighborhood's entrance (which looks like a castle) and has an artificial lake/moat. </p> <p>Care to share any props you bought/made, or signs, or poses you especially liked? I'd particularly love to hear any DIY/cheapy ideas you have, as budget is king right now :D </p>
