Maternity Portraits At The Elizabeth Gamble Garden

Maternity Portraits At The Elizabeth Gamble Garden

One of the first things you want to do, after scheduling your maternity portraits is to figure out a location. Some locations only work well at certain times of the day. And there are a number of other factors to consider. I recommend touching bases with your Photographer to discuss locations that would work well for what you are looking for. If you are interested in flowers and a garden setting, I highly recommend the Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto. The garden is well maintained and has a variety of nice flowers and plants throughout the entire year. Here are some of Aruna’s maternity portraits at the Elizabeth Gamble Garden. As well as four poses I like to use for maternity portraits 🙂

Sitting Poses

One of the things I LOVE about the Elizabeth Gamble Garden is that there are benches to pose with. I like to get a variety of different poses and sitting poses work really well 🙂 These poses can be done on a table, on a bench, and sometimes they can be taken on the ground.

Hearts On Your Baby Bump

Another cute pose I like to do is making a heart on your baby bump 🙂 There are several ways to do this. You can use one of each of your hands to form a heart. You can have one person making a heart and the other holding a prop. And you can even get a heart shape reflection – if the sun is in the right direction!

With Your Partner Looking Away

With maternity portraits, I like to create a candid and natural feel. One of the ways that I like to do this is by having your partner face a different direction. For example, hey can be glancing off in the distance while you are looking at your baby bump. This creates a sense of mystery and curiosity to the image 🙂

Kissing The Baby And Listening For The Baby

Lastly, I also like to get a couple of images where your partner is on one knee kissing the baby. I’ve come to find that some people like these types of images and others may not 🙂 But most people think it’s cute!

If you are interested in maternity portraits, I highly recommend scheduling your maternity portraits at the Elizabeth Gamble Garden. It is truly one of the prettiest places for garden portraits in the Bay Area. Thanks!
