Sonoma County Maternity Boudoir Session

A pregnant woman lies gracefully on her side in a black and white studio setting for this sexy maternity boudoir photo. She rests on one arm with the other extended forward while her legs bend elegantly and her bare feet point toward the right side of the frame. Dramatic side lighting creates strong highlights and shadows across her form and the white lace top and ruffled skirt she wears. The minimalist background features a smooth light floor and dark gradient backdrop emphasizing her rounded belly and relaxed pose.

This Sonoma County maternity boudoir session was captured for Aimee in her 35th week of pregnancy.

For these pregnancy photos, we did a range looks on a white seamless background for studio looks that ranged from casual to elegant.

How We Styled Her Maternity Session

Aimee wanted refined editorials style portraits like something you’d find in a Vogue editorial. Ultimately she was hoping for an artistic portrait of her body she could print to hang in her home.

She loved the idea of a studio look on seamless paper but didn’t like the idea of really dark and edgy photos. She wanted them brighter and higher key.

Although I couldn’t help myself from going a little dark and edgy for some shots, I think overall we did a pretty good job of getting a good mix of high key images on white and mid tone images on grey. Some of her mid tone maternity boudoir photos almost have a flavor of the 90’s Calvin Klein ads.

About Her Outfits

Most of her outfits for her maternity session were re-purposed from her closet. Getting creative like this is a good way to save money and create really cute looks with things you already have.

For example, all of the shots with her jeans and bra and parted top were all things she already had.

The only things she bought for this photo shoot were the open front and lace dresses. She bought both dresses for super cheap on Amazon as she actually found it cheaper then renting some of the “fancier” dresses from the online rental services.
