Make Every Day A Maternity Shoot! Celeb-Inspired Ways To Document Your Pregnancy

Every woman’s journey to motherhood is unique. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your nth, each one is memorable and deserves ample documentation — maternity shoot or not!

Mom life isn’t always Instagram-worthy, but making sure to capture your best, most beautiful moments is a great way to hold on to this precious period in your life. With the current limitations of the country’s various stages of lockdown, it can be challenging to go all-out with a photoshoot, but don’t worry! All you have to do is look to your favorite celebrities to get some inspiration.

Maternity shoot ideas

You can get as creative as you can, but you can also keep it as simple as possible. Check out how these celebrities are showing off their baby bumps for poses and concepts you can do yourself!

The mirror selfie

With Nikki Gil and husband BJ Albert's second child on the way, the actress-singer is busy prepping for the arrival of the newest addition to their growing family. She’s admittedly praning about delivering their baby girl in the middle of a pandemic, so she’s yet to reveal a maternity shoot, but that hasn’t stopped Nikki from dressing up and taking these fabulous mirror selfies!

The family portrait

Nikka Garcia and Patrick Garcia decided to gather the whole brood to welcome their bunso, son Enrique Pablo — and they even invited the whole household! Although the couple and their family went the usual route with their maternity shoot, it’s their family portraits that truly stood out in the entire set.

The vacation shoot

If you’re lucky (and comfortable) enough to travel outside of your home, a vacation is a perfect time to dress up and take beautiful pregnancy photos! Whether you do a Divine Lee-Go and bust out your best resort wear or make like Desiree Del Valle and flaunt your bump in your favorite bikini, you’ll absolutely love looking back at these snaps.

The casual OOTD

These days, getting dressed and going out is more of an event rather than a usual part of your routine. There’s nothing stopping you from putting on those heels and shades and strutting down the street like Kaye Abad-Castillo did in one of her Instagram posts!

Actress Riva Quenery’s first baby bump post was also very fun and casual, allowing her pregnant glow to shine through even more.

The couple shoot

Leave it to Neri Naig to remind us to take as many print-worthy pictures with your husband as you can whether it’s your maternity shoot or a usual day out!

Beth Tamayo is also the same, peppering her Instagram feed with photos of her and husband Adam Hutchinson before they officially become a family of three!

The mom snap

You’ll soon be busy with another newborn at home, so make the most out of your time with your kids. Nadine Samonte is the picture of a mother’s strength in this laidback photo with her son and daughter.

Aside from being such a beautiful mom of three, what’s not to love about the subtle flex of carrying all that weight? Add these candid moments with your little ones to the shot list!

The maternity shoot

As a first-time mom, Sam Pinto has taken some of the most beautiful photos of her pregnancy — from casual OOTDs to vacation photos and, of course, the maternity shoot. The mom-to-be looks elegant in lace, surrounded by a lush neutral palette for her background.

Sitti Navarro also went a similar route to commemorate the upcoming birth of her second child with a photoshoot that featured several layouts, highlighting the happy glow of the singer and soon-to-be mom of two.

These photos prove that if you want to do your own maternity shoot and you have the capacity to do so, you can still do it as long as you make sure everyone’s keeping safe all throughout.
