Covershots Maternity Photography


No doubt you are experiencing the excitement & anticipation of your new arrival. Covershots would be honored to document this incredibly special time & develop a beautiful memento that you will enjoy & share for years to come.

Pregnancy has so long been covered in baggy clothes & behind the gynae’s office doors. But at Covershots, we feel there is such an amazing beauty to it. Society is looking at maternity with a different eye – women exposing more skin than they have ever exposed for a camera; right when they are at their least svelte. It is a time to capture the essence of motherhood, delving into the maternal psyche & creating a new definition of beauty.

We work to capture real moments & emotions using a variety of techniques; to create a unique image of each mother’s pregnancy – to photograph a feeling, we aim for simple expressive pictures. Our goal is for each mother to walk out feeling beautiful, having just spent time focusing inward on yourself & your pregnancy. Together you’ll find real moments & ultimately create a fine art photograph of your pregnancy.

Here are some tips for a successful pregnancy photo session:

- Schedule your photo session on a day that you will be relaxed & well rested.
- Eat a light snack before the shoot.
- Clothing should be solid color, without too much writing or branding.
- Make up & jewelry are fine, though lots of jewelry can be distracting.
- Don’t wear anything with elastic on the day of the shoot, so that no strap marks will appear on the photographs – especially avoid anything leaving marks across the bump!
- Bring along any clothing, props, or drapery that you would like to use in the photograph.

No journey more worthy or profound to chronicle than the path to motherhood; being one of the most critical of life’s milestones. So, make a date with us. We love meeting new moms (and dads!) and discuss how we can best capture the incredible miracle of your pregnancy.
