The Secret to Magical Maternity Photos
What is the secret to achieving magical maternity photos?
Schedule your maternity photo session during magic hour!
Magic hour — also called golden hour — is the first hour of sunlight in the morning, and the last hour of sunlight in the evening.
Click below, and check out these great examples of magic hour maternity photos!
The warm, diffuse quality of light during magic hour lends a special glow to maternity photos. With both the setting sun, and your new baby on the horizon, golden hour maternity photos really create a lovely mood for pregnancy portraits.
Golden hour is fleeting, so be sure to find out when the sun rises and sets each day.
