Maternity photography is not new practice now for most expectant parents. Demand of experienced and professional maternity photographers is on the rise all over the world. Despite spending much efforts and money for this task, most parents do not get as much pleasure and satisfaction as they expect. Reasons are many. In most cases, photographers are not at fault. The responsibility of making maternity photography lifelong achievement and memorable experience lies with pregnant mothers. When everyone in the family is going to enjoy these maternity photographs then why only the would-be mother shares this responsibility. Maternity photography is not a mother oriented activity instead; it needs the active cooperation and involvement of family members also.

First of all, we talk about why the involvement of family members in maternity photography is necessary. The purpose of maternity photography is to capture the real emotions and facial expressions of mothers besides capturing the bodily developments. Some people think that the maternity photography only at first pregnancy is important but it is not so. Maternity photography of every pregnancy has its own importance. When the mothers find themselves alone in the photography sessions, they feel nervous, shy, confused and hopeless. Because of the psychological pressures, even the best photographer fails to capture real changes that appear only for the pregnancy period. Most mothers feel more comfortable in the company of their husbands. In case husband is not available, women may involve family members as the alternative.

Many mothers feel shy in having maternity photography sessions in open areas like parks or gardens. I think there is no valid reason for it. You must take it as a natural activity and your right to store your memories and experience. By now, society has accepted it. Most expectant mothers opt it. You feel more open when a family member or close friend gets involved with this exercise. Some see it related with high-end exposing exercise, while it is not so. Not the photographer but you yourself who decide exposing limits.

The success of pregnancy period photography depends upon the application of creative ideas. Although the hired photographers would be much familiar with latest trends but he might be unfamiliar with your likings and limitations. Your family atmosphere also matters a lot in deciding the limits. Every photography session needs changes and freshness. As the model, location, pregnancy period, time, comfortable level change in every case, so photographers need new ideas for every maternity photography assignment. This can't be a pleasurable exercise, unless you actively get involved in maternity photography. Even the experienced photographer needs and respects your ideas.
