A few weeks ago I met this lovely couple for a Maternity photo session at Amager Strand (Amager Beach).
If you are also expecting a little bundle of joy and dreaming of capturing your pregnancy in timeless photographs, in this blog post, I’ll guide you through the process of preparing for a maternity session at the beach while sharing insights and tips to ensure a successful and meaningful experience.

Choosing the Perfect Time

When planning a maternity photo shoot at Amager Beach, timing is crucial. I always recommend a time of day when the lighting is soft and flattering, such as the golden hours around sunrise or sunset. The warm, natural light will add a magical touch to your photographs. For this session, we started at 7:00 pm, two hours before sunset, and finished it at 8:00 pm, to avoid that orange skin tone we get when the sun is on the horizon. 

Selecting the Ideal Outfits

Your choice of outfits plays a significant role in creating stunning maternity photographs. Consider wearing dresses, fitted tops, or outfits that accentuate your baby bump and highlight your natural beauty. Soft, pastel colors like blush, or mint, can complement the beach scenery and create a harmonious visual effect.

The Photo Session

My goal is always to capture moments of connection between you and your partner. During your pregnancy photo session, I will guide you through various poses and compositions: gentle walks along the beach, or simply basking in the serene atmosphere, are great for capturing candid and composed shots. 

A maternity photo shoot at Amager Beach in Copenhagen provides a lovely setting to capture your pregnancy journey. Relax, embrace the warmth of natural light, and trust me to create beautiful images as you prepare to welcome your little one into the world.
