Long Island Maternity Photographer/A Rustic Maternity Session

Long Island Maternity Photographer

As much as I love doing in studio maternity photo sessions, taking maternity photos outdoors can also provide for beautiful pictures. It can also provide a variety of backdrops. This couple contacted me looking for a casual and rustic fall themed shoot. The day of their session arrived and the weather was really unpredictable. There was no rain in the forecast, however, it was raining in certain areas and not raining in others. As I was driving to meet them I was almost about to cancel the shoot. Fortunately the couple agreed to meet me at another location and we were able to still have the session. :o)

I absolutely loved the simplicity of their outfit choices. I loved Mama’s cowboy boots to!

Here are some of my favorites from their session.

Kelly got in touch with me about a month ago to book a maternity session in her seventh month of pregnancy. It is recommended that you book your maternity photography shoot at 7 or 8 months into your pregnancy in order to be able to showcase that beautiful baby bump. When I arrived at her home, we discussed the details that she wanted to include in her shoot as well as location options in her home. Since I usually try to keep things as simple as possible when I am on location, I will try to utilize as much natural light as I possibly can if it is available. It was a bit overcast on the day of her shoot and her home did not have much natural light but it was adequate enough lighting for some of the shots. I did have to use some flash on some of them but I used it as subtly as I could in order to maintain a natural looking feel.
