This is one of our favorite types of maternity photoshoots because they are so simple yet captivating. Silhouette shots are a type of photo that captures the outline of your pregnant body. These work best against a super-lit background. They really emphasize the curves and shape of your adorable baby bump creating a nice contrast and gorgeous maternity photos. If you do not like showing your face much, then silhouette photos are a great maternity photoshoot idea! Trying to to capture the perfect size baby bump for your pregnancy photos? It's best to shoot for your end of second trimester and towards the beginning of your third trimester.  For more detailed information, check out when to take your maternity photos: best and worst time.

Props and accessories are your best friend when doing at home maternity shoots. You can use a variety of things to enhance and personalize your maternity photos. Some examples may include teeny tiny baby shoes, baby clothes, flowers, ultrasound images, heirloom or sentimental jewelry, or (our favorite) flowing fabrics like a sheer curtain. These details will take your maternity photoshoot to another level.

Using a backdrop is a very simple yet timeless way to do your at-home maternity photoshoot. It is a really nice way to focus on you and your body. Not only is it cost effective, but you can do wardrobe changes in-between to get a couple different aesthetic shots.

Turn your maternity photo shoot into a full family affair by inviting your hubby or older children to join in. We've always loved this concept, because it captures the beauty of not just you, but your entire family embracing the arrival of your future little one.

Another cute idea would be you and your entire family laying down and pointing at your growing baby bump! Planning a fall photoshoot? Check out these 13 elegant fall maternity shoot ideas

Doing your maternity photo session by the curtains in your home is a great idea because the soft and natural light that filters through the curtains can create a really pretty lighting.  The gentle lighting can help highlight your pregnancy glow and create a warm, intimate vibe. Plus, it's incredibly convenient. We recommend wearing a flowy dress or intimate lingerie set that is close in color with your curtains. This will create a really nice and seamless look.
