First, let me explain about pregnancy photos .
This is a word that combines the English words "pregnancy" and "photo."
It has a broader meaning of documenting the entire pregnancy period.
In other words, from the time when your belly is not yet noticeable in the early stages of pregnancy,
As a photo to capture precious moments right up until the last month of pregnancy
It refers to all photographs that are taken continuously.
On the other hand, baby bump photos are
As you can see from the expression "Baby Bump",

[Q&A Part 1] Basic knowledge of maternity portraits
When to take baby bump photos and the significance of capturing precious moments
Q: From what month of pregnancy can pregnancy photos be taken?
A: The best part of pregnancy photography is
It allows you to record the changes in your body and mind as your pregnancy progresses.
In fact, I recommend starting filming around the fourth month of pregnancy.
The reason is that at this stage, the belly is still not expanding much,
The joy of becoming a mother begins to appear on the mother's face.
Because it's a very beautiful time.
Then, at 6 months, 8 months, and before the due date,
By taking pictures step by step,
The result is a truly complete pregnancy picture .
Q: Is there a difference in price between baby bump photos and regular maternity photos?
A: Yes, generally baby bump photos are more popular.
Because it requires more specialized skills and artistry,
The pricing is often higher.
When taking maternity portraits ,
From the use of light, composition, to post-processing,
Everything is finished to the level of a work of art.
The going rate is about 1.5 to 2 times the price of a regular maternity shoot.
It's a good idea to think of it as a guideline.
However, the satisfaction you get will be
The value of the work will be significantly higher.

During this time, miracles are happening inside your body.
Tiny cells grow day by day and take on the shape of a human.
And the mother herself transforms into a new self: a mother.
Pregnancy Photo is
It is a way to record this one-time transformation.
When your child sees the photo 10 or 20 years from now,
"The time when my mother loved me"
You can see it with your eyes and feel it with your heart.

You can remember the feeling at that time.

Techniques to create maternity memorials at the level of a work of art
"I want to shoot Pregnancy Pictures at a level that can truly be displayed in a museum."
More and more mothers are feeling this way.
In fact, to make your maternity memorial a work of art,
There are some important technical points.
First and most importantly, how you handle light .
At Pregnancy Pictures,
To accentuate the beautiful curves of your belly,
I use a technique called "side lighting."
This is done by shining soft light from the side of the mother.
Creates a natural shadow on the curve of the stomach,
It's a way to express three-dimensionality and mystery.
Avoid too much light
By using natural light coming in through the window and light through a diffuser,
It can express maternal tenderness.
The next important thing is to choose the composition .
At Pregnancy Pictures ,
The most effective composition is the profile shot.
By taking a photo of mom from the side,
The swelling of the belly is expressed most beautifully,
At the same time, the mother's dignified profile can also be captured.
At this time, you also need to be careful about how you place your hands.
Instead of placing your hands on your stomach,
One hand supports the lower abdomen,
Place your other hand gently on the top.
This is said to be "protecting the baby."
It's a visual expression of maternal instinct.
The choice of background is also an important factor in enhancing your artistry.
At Maternity Memorial,
A simple, solid color background,
By using natural gradations (such as sunsets and morning light),
Focus your attention on the main character, the mom and her belly.
In particular, the warm gold and cream backgrounds
It's perfect for expressing the warmth of motherhood.
Also, when choosing clothes ,
There are some points to improve your artistry.
At Pregnancy Pictures,
Show your body lines beautifully,
It's important to choose clothing that fits well.
Dresses made of flowing materials,
Knit material that conforms to the shape of your stomach,
It accentuates the beautiful curves.
When choosing colors, make the mother's skin tone look beautiful.
Warm colors (beige, ivory, pale pink) and
Deep colors (navy, deep green) that create a sense of mystery are effective.
Finally, finishing with post-processing ,
It is essential for achieving a work of art-like finish.
Smoothes the skin's texture,
Adjust the balance of light and shadow
By unifying the overall color tone,
The result is a work of art that could be displayed in a museum.
By combining these technologies,
It's not just a documentary photograph,
A true maternity memorial is born.

Also, the pose of looking down a little and staring at your stomach,
