Pregnancy photography is all about the shape of you obviously and silhouette images are the perfect way to showcase this – either on your own or with your partner.

We always make time to take some of these type of shots at your photo shoot.  We can either create a full silhouette style or a demi silhouette style which is perfect for shooting through some of my maternity dresses to show off your shape whilst still keeping you covered up.

Silhouette maternity photos offer a unique and timeless way to capture the beauty of pregnancy. By using dramatic lighting and shadows, these images highlight the elegant curves of your body during this special time, creating breathtaking portraits that feel both intimate and artistic.

The Magic of Silhouette Photography

What makes silhouette maternity photography so captivating is its simplicity. The focus is entirely on the shape of your body, letting the light and shadow tell the story. These images strip away distractions, allowing the pure essence of pregnancy to shine through.

In my studio, I use carefully positioned lighting and a dark backdrop to achieve this stunning effect. The results are striking images that exude elegance, strength, and femininity, making them some of the most loved photos in any maternity gallery.

What to Wear for Silhouette Photos

Choosing the right outfit for silhouette photos is simple. Fitted clothing that accentuates your baby bump works beautifully, or you may prefer to go for a partially nude look to fully embrace the natural lines of your body. Either way, the focus is on creating a comfortable and empowering environment for you during the session.

Why Choose Silhouette Maternity Photos?

Silhouette maternity photography is perfect for anyone looking for something a little different. These images feel artistic and timeless, making them ideal for display in your home or as a meaningful addition to a photo album. They also make a striking contrast to softer, light-filled maternity images, giving you a diverse gallery of memories.
