Christmas Pregnancy and Family Photo Shoot: Outdoor and Indoor Portraits
Maternity Portraits by Lumière Photography
A Christmas maternity shoot takes on a unique charm, especially when you already have a child. While your little one adds joy and spontaneity to the session, it also means less time is devoted solely to the bump or the couple, as there’s always someone to keep entertained.
For this family, the vision for their Christmas maternity photo shoot was clear, and mum’s elegant dress added a magical touch to the session. It wasn’t revealing but made her look like a princess, perfectly suited to the festive and dreamy atmosphere.
At-home Christmas Maternity Photos
We started with some cosy and intimate indoor Christmas photos, beginning with natural family moments that captured their little girl’s joyful and playful personality.She brought so much warmth and life to the session.
We also took time for some beautiful bare bump portraits, including tender moments between the parents. Using window light and soft flash, I aimed to give the photos a timeless quality inspired by classical paintings. And with her features being so graceful and delicate, she could be a beautiful Madonna.
Outdoor Maternity Portraits at Beacon Hill
Beacon Hill is a breathtaking location, particularly at sunset, with its sweeping views and natural features. While we ventured there for some family maternity photos, the cold and windy December weather meant we had to work quickly. Despite the chill, the gusts of wind added a dramatic flair, making the flowing dress look even more stunning—perfect for creating those artistic outdoor Christmas maternity family photos.
Preparing for Your Christmas Maternity Shoot
Whether you prefer at-home cosiness, the dramatic beauty of outdoor locations, or a mix of both, it’s all about creating images that reflect your personality and preferences.
Communication is key—before and during the shoot—to ensure the session is tailored to exactly what you want. Mixing styles, outfits, and locations, like in this session, allows for a blend of natural and posed images, festive family moments, and stunning maternity portraits.
