Where in Spokane to have your Maternity Pictures taken.

Spokane is such a gorgeous and fun place to raise a family. If you’re pregnant and planning your maternity session, here are some locations to consider for gorgeous photos.

River.

Spokane has gorgeous rivers filled with boulders and surrounded by forests. There’s tons of access points to these rivers that would be easy for a pregnant mama to walk into. If your family is feeling playful, there are plenty of slower flowing areas where you all could dip your feet in the cool water while taking some fun pictures.

Field.

There are plenty of wide open fields with pretty views as well. I love the way a field looks at golden hour when the sun hits all the tall grass just right. Fields are great if you have other children that like to run and play. There’s high visibility and they can run their hearts out while you get some extra picture attention for your bump.

Home.

Your home may be the most under utilized photo location. Maternity photos at home are intimate and cozy. If you have a home with character that is stylishly decorated, this can be a really great option. This also has the added perk of your photographer getting to know the light in your home prior to newborn pictures if you choose to go that route.

Urban.

Downtown Spokane has plenty of urban areas to take stylish photos in, you just have to know where to look. Parking garages, clean alley-ways, brick buildings. There is so much to be discovered for photo-ops.

What to wear for in-home maternity photos in Spokane

Getting ready to have maternity pictures taken at home in Spokane? Here’s some of my favorite tips to get perfect, timeless maternity pictures in home, and all of it is tips that will help you choose what to wear.

Be comfortable.

Pregnancy is already uncomfortable, so choose to dress comfortably. That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style. These photos can be as intimate or conservative as you want as far as how you dress. You could wear leggings with a cute tank top and cardigan, or you could wear undies with a cozy sweater. It’s totally up to you, these are your pictures. Consider wearing a cute bralette with whatever outfit you choose, these add some unique visual interest to the photos if we drape your sweater off the shoulder.

Earthy Tones.

Spokane is in the PNW and many of us who live here like to wear earthy tones. Think muted greens, dusty blues, warm browns. Many of us around the Spokane area live in older homes with gorgeous hardwood floors. Choose colors that will compliment your home on our natural Spokane vibes. Be sure to include plenty of neutral tones

Cozy Vibes.

Now, I know we have pretty hot, dry summers and pregnancy can be any time of year, but I want you to think cozy when choosing what to wear. Cozy is more of a frame of mind, than choosing warm clothing. Adding layers to your outfit will create a cozy vibe. Consider your feet too, if it’s winter, perhaps some cute wool socks. If it’s summer, barefoot can really hone in a summer look.

Textiles.

Now this isn’t what to wear exactly, but don’t forget to consider the elements in your home. Look at your bedding throw pillows, sofa color. Can you choose clothing that compliments those items? Is it worthwhile to invest in a new bedspread in a more neutral or muted tone. Your style is yours, so just be sure to consider how everything plays together for your pictures. We’re going for cool, Spokane, South Hill vibes to create some pretty art in your pictures.
