Pregnancy is an incredibly special time in your life that should be highly documented. Believe it or not, you’re going to miss that bump! Even if you may not be feeling your best or most beautiful, we recommend getting maternity photos taken so that you can reminisce on the time you carried a miracle.

Besides, you’re a goddess and any photographer would be BEGGING to photograph you.

So, let’s get into our Top 10 Fall Maternity Photos for 2022.

1. A Beautiful Field for Fall

We are living for the natural, field photographs that are perfect for fall. Whether you choose a field with tall grass or a sunflower field, both create a striking background that pulls the entire photo together. The natural setting will compliment your natural beauty, Mama!

2. Mama Milk Bath

The milk bath photo is both trendy and timeless, plus it can be done even when the weather is not cooperating during those rainy months!

3. Glow in the Golden Hour

The Golden Hour is a tried and true time to get maternity photos taken. The sun shining behind you and your partner will highlight the love that made your family possible. For solo shots, you’ll truly be glowing during the Golden Hour, Mama!

4. Little Baby Shoes

Incorporating baby shoes will show just how little your baby is going to be! Add a touch of fall with baby moccasins, boots, or fall colors! We love this photo idea for fall and it’s also a great way for your partner to be involved!

5. Furry Friends for Fall!

Letting your furry friends get involved in your fall maternity photos will add extra cuteness and make for a fun photoshoot! Add extra touches of fall with your outfit, the setting and background, and maybe a plaid bandana for your fur baby!

6. Fall Foliage

7. Props + Perspective

Adding a fun or unique prop can help spice up your maternity photos or announcements! You can use a sonogram, baby shoes, or even a letter board in the foreground to show how special your little one is!

8. Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark

Don’t be afraid of wearing a black dress or dark colors! We know that lighter clothing is really popular for maternity photos, but there’s something about a dark dress for moody fall pictures that has our heart!

9. Silhouette
