15 Most Popular Maternity Photography Poses

A trend started by New York photographer Annie Leibovitz, with her '90s portrait of a pregnant nude Demi Moore, is now a well-established art form. This iconic maternity photo was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair and certainly generated significant attention.

Whether it's a black-and-white maternity nude or fun outdoor couple portraits, capturing this unique time in your life is a must for many expectant mothers.

High-profile celebrity moms-to-be are not afraid to push boundaries and prefer maternity photos that are unique to them and their brand. Good on them! Beyoncé’s maternity photoshoot certainly got everyone talking about the pictures, and I would be hugely disappointed if she announced her pregnancy with a selfie taken on a phone.

What are your options if you aren’t crazy about having huge flower wreaths in your photo ideas but would love a modern, stylish pregnancy portrait? Studio portraits are the most popular, with maternity nudes requested in 99% of sessions. That's a lot of very brave mums-to-be out there!

Catching on are also lifestyle outdoor sessions for those who prefer the great outdoors.

Some couples love to have some personal portraits captured at their home - another lovely photoshoot idea.

Here are not only my favorite but also the most popular maternity photo poses.
