I am photographing a couple tomorrow who are young and expecting their first baby. The photos will be used for their announcement.

Any ideas for posing other than standard portrait poses similar to engagement shots?

Setup:

Canon 70D
On camera flash
Park setting in the afternoon

I am an amateur but have not done real portrait work. Any and all suggestions appreciated. These are personal friends but I want to get it right.

Thanks,

Tim

Accentuate the curve of the belly. Hands and arms go under the bulge. A Google search for couples maternity photos may give you some ideas. Lindsay Adler discusses it in one of her Creative Live posing workshops. I have no actual experience so that's about all I know about it.

Might not be what you're looking for, but, if you put sunglasses on and caption is "future so bright I gotta wear shades" that is different.

Thank you both! The mom is not that far along and is not showing. Fortunately, she brought along props as well as posing ideas so all went well!
