Over the past decade, our team has edited countless pregnancy announcement photos. Each one is an original masterpiece, capturing the unique personalities and stories of the future parents.
Here are some of my all-time favorite pregnancy announcement ideas that I've had the privilege of working on. Each concept has its own special flair.
Chalkboards open up a world of creativity for pregnancy announcements. I've come across charming chalkboard designs with phrases like 'Baby Smith Coming Soon' or even a countdown to the big day.
Pets are family, too! A good maternity photo idea is to pose your furry friend to announce your pregnancy. Whether it's a dog wearing a special bandana with the phrase “Big Brother” or a cat posing with baby items, these adorable photos won’t leave anybody indifferent.
A fun and unique way to announce your pregnancy is to create a movie poster-style announcement. I edited photos for a couple, who made their own “Coming Soon” poster, added credits and a dramatic pose. Their relatives and friends were amazed.
It isn’t obligatory to spend much time and money on ideas for pregnancy announcement. One of the best maternity photo poses is to place a pair of tiny baby shoes between the parents' feet. This subtle and intimate pose quietly communicates the big news in a beautiful way. Thus, you can communicate a powerful story without saying a word.
If you're looking for fun and creative pregnancy announcement ideas for best friends, try using a letterboard. It is one of the best newborn photography props because of customization. You can personalize the message to fit your style, and these photos are always a hit on social media.
Holidays are a great time to tell your nearest and dearest about your pregnancy. For example, you can use Christmas ornaments that say "Baby's First Christmas" or Easter eggs with the words "Egg-specting Baby #2.
One of the best pregnancy announcement ideas for grandparents I’ve seen in images is when future parents reveal the big news to their own parents through personalized gifts, such as "Grandma" and "Grandpa" mugs. Watching their reactions is so pleasant.
If you want to announce your pregnancy in a trendy and eye-catching way, you should try flat-lay photography. Just put baby stuff like a little onesie, a sonogram, and tiny shoes on a simple background. After shooting, you can use baby photo editing apps to touch up pictures.
Balloons can brighten up any image. I've worked on pictures where couples let a bunch of balloons soar into the sky. Another great alternative is to hold a big balloon with the due date.
To make a pregnancy announcement pop, choose a coordinated couple look. Many photographers claim it is one of the best maternity photo props. I once edited a photo of a pair wearing matching 'Mommy' and 'Daddy' tees, holding a onesie that read 'Baby.' It was so charming.
An adorable way to capture the joy of pregnancy is by featuring the baby’s first outfit. I've edited photos of couples holding up the tiny clothes, often with their wedding rings interwoven. This is a very beautiful representation of their growing family.
If you are on the lookout for the best family photo ideas that don’t require excessive effort to announce your pregnancy, choose a standard countdown option. Take a regular calendar and mark your due date. Alternatively, you can leverage a sign that says "12 Weeks Until Our Little One Arrives."
