HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR CAPE MAY MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION
There are so many things to consider when getting your maternity photos taken, but the most important ones are that you are choosing the right photographer and having fun! Here are some tips to help your beach photoshoot go smoothly.
WHEN TO BOOK YOUR SESSION
I recommend booking your maternity session from 28-34 weeks and about an hour before sunset.
WHAT TO WEAR
Coordinate with your partner and wear what makes you most comfortable and confident. Be sure to avoid large logos and heavily patterned clothing. Talk to your photographer about bringing multiple outfits! If you have long hair, remember the beach is very windy so embrace the beach hair don’t care attitude or wear your hair up 🙂
BEST PLACES TO TAKE PHOTOS IN CAPE MAY
CAPE MAY POINT STATE PARK
This is my absolute favorite place to take pictures in Cape May! You get the amazing sunsets without the crowds at Sunset Beach. This State Park has so many backdrop options like the lighthouse, beach, nature trails, and Fort Miles Battery 223.
GARRETT FAMILY PRESERVE AT CAPE ISLAND CREEK
This adorable preserve is home to wild flowers, lovely greenery, and a railroad track. You might even catch a monarch butterfly in the background of your photos!
HIGBEE BEACH
This is the perfect place to take maternity photos with your fur babies! Higbee Beach is a secluded dog friendly beach that is very peaceful because it is a short drive from the main Cape May beaches.
