Silhouette photos are incredibly powerful and eye catching images. They add drama, mystery and interest to an image, emphasizing the shape of the subject (haha). Perfect for maternity photos. Here's how you can take easy silhouette maternity photos at home.
Steve and I have been together for over 10 years, and in that decade, we've taken hundreds of photos commemorating special moments and preserving memories. However, when taking photos, I am usually the one behind the camera. Sometimes I need to remember that it is important to also be the one in front of the lens, like when you are about to have a baby and want to remember your days with ‘the bump’ and your last days as a duo. So, I decided to take my own maternity photos at home, and realized it is a lot easier than you would think.
Here's how you can take easy silhouette maternity photos at home.
Equipment you’ll need:
What to wear:
You want your silhouette to be as simple and clean as possible. Try to wear clothes that eliminate lines and bunching. Show off those pregnancy curves!
Steps:
There is no right or wrong way to create a silhouette. It really comes down to personal preference. Have fun and experiment!
I am in love with how these photos turned out. They were exactly what I was looking for - something simple to remember the days leading up to Baby Wardo's arrival.
Sometimes it is the simplest pictures that work best.
