Especially in the age of Instagram, it’s very common for expectant women to get photos taken while they’re in their final stages of pregnancy. It’s a way to commemorate their journey, remember their bump forever, and feel a little bit glamorous before giving birth. But because you know that everyone online is going to see the pics, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to deliver interesting pictures with fresh photo shoot ideas. That’s where these celebrity maternity shoots come in handy. If you can replicate what Beyoncé or Pink did, you’re nearly guaranteed all the likes.
There are many styles of maternity shoots, from ones that feature very little clothing to highlight the bump to more modest, covered-up photos. Whatever suits your fancy, there’s some celebrity inspiration for you. Your next maternity shoot is about to be so fabulous.
Wear a Dramatic Gown
Surround Yourself With Flowers
Beyoncé’s maternity shoot when she was pregnant with twins was so iconic. In fact, it was 2017’s most-liked Instagram photo. We love everything about it, from her ruffly underwear to her veil to the flower wall behind her. It’s actually not that expensive to pick up fake flowers at the craft store to re-create your own Queen Bey moment.
Get Outside
You could also opt for real flowers and nature scenery by taking your maternity photos outside like Cardi B did when pregnant with her daughter, Kulture. She looks like Mother Nature or some kind of earth goddess in this picture. We may not all have as nice of a yard as she does, but any sufficiently green and floral backdrop will do.
Take a Tropical Vacation
If you have the means to jet off on a tropical babymoon, it could be a good idea to get your maternity photos taken on location. It doesn’t matter much what you’re wearing when the backdrop is this pretty. Bachelor star Lauren Burnham kept it simple in a white bathing suit, shirt, and hat as she posed on the beach in Hawaii.
Dive Underwater
Could Alanis Morissette’s underwater maternity photo be any cooler? Whoever came up with the idea for her to hop in the pool was a genius. She looks so ethereal floating there with her baby bump on full display. It’s a kind of magical shot, and all you need is a pool and an underwater camera to achieve the same effect.
Hop in the Bath
Don’t have a pool? Your bathtub could be the next best thing. When pregnant with her second child last year, Jenna Dewan took some of her maternity pictures in a flower-filled bathtub. She dressed in a lacy robe for modesty and let her hair flow freely in the water. It’s a really beautiful picture.
Dress Up
For her most recent set of maternity photos, mother-of-three Jade Roper decided to don angel wings. She explained the decision to Us Weekly, saying, “This is going to be our last baby. I really wanted to do some fun, artistic, really beautiful photos that just made me feel like a pregnant goddess because this pregnancy is so special. It’s so hard on your body, and I just really wanted to celebrate the good parts of it.”
Good for her!
