When it comes to a maternity session, it is essential to know whether you want an indoor or on-location session.
Some photographers offer both, indoor and on-location sessions but many of them offer just one option. So deciding which option is best for you will help you narrow down the number of photographers you are considering.
In this blog, you'll discover helpful tips to guide you in choosing the perfect option that best suits you and your family, ensuring your maternity session reflects your unique vision and style.
Indoor Maternity sessions!
With Orlando's unpredictable and extreme weather, indoor sessions ensure you are in a controlled environment with perfect lighting and complete privacy.
Some moms want gorgeous puffy dresses, flowing fabrics, and amazing accessories but others just want simple and elegant nudes to focus entirely on them and their growing baby bump, therefore an indoor session will be the perfect choice.
Studio sessions also provide the flexibility to customize backdrops, props, and wardrobe changes to create the perfect vision without any outside distractions.
Perfect hair and makeup!!! There is not uncontrolled winds or extreme temperatures that will make you sweat like crazy. Another point for Indoor sessions.
YAYYYY....No moskitos. One more point.
Outdoor maternity Session!!
When you choose to do your maternity session outdoors you have more freedom to move and explore different poses and scenarios, especially if you want to include family members, pets, or even props. The natural environment often brings a sense of spontaneity and joy to the session, making the experience itself unforgettable.
One of the biggest advantages and also my favorite is THE GOLDEN HOUR. OMG!! that time right after sunrise or before sunset offers such a warm, soft, and magical light, that adds a dreamy glow to your maternity photos, perfect for capturing the natural beauty of pregnancy. (POV..Not every location offers a perfect backdrop with this amazing golden hour light).
If you're a city girl, Orlando offers some beautiful locations like Lake Eola or Disney's Boardwalk, They can add an iconic, personal touch. Whether you’re a local or visiting Orlando, these locations create unforgettable images.
Now, Which session is right for me?
Well, it depends, which is the look and feel you are looking for in your photos. Let's see:
If you prefer a stress-free, climate-controlled environment, an indoor session is ideal. You won’t have to worry about the weather, heat, winds or bugs, and can focus on creating those perfect images.
Do you prefer a more organic, nature-inspired look, do you want images by the water, with the golden hour magical light, or are you prefer more polished, fine-art feel of studio portraits? Outdoor sessions provide rich, natural textures and light, while indoor sessions give you sleek, elegant, and controlled imagery.
What about the time of Year? Everybody knows that Orlando’s summer months are hot and humid, there is also lots of rain so if you’re planning a session during the warmer months, you may want to opt for indoors. However, spring and fall are perfect for outdoor shoots when the weather is mild, and the landscapes are beautiful.
Why Not Both?
I know, it is hard to make a decision, right?
Consider booking a combination session where we start indoors for timeless portraits and then venture outside to capture some outdoor magic. This gives you the best of both worlds—elegant studio shots and natural outdoor images that showcase Orlando’s beauty.
