How do you announce your pregnancy? It can be difficult for new parents to know where to begin, so they have to think of something creative and cute. If you aren't an artist or writer by nature but want to make something unique, there are many options online. These three ideas are perfect for creating the perfect Instagram baby announcement.
Gender Reveal Picture
To announce your pregnancy to friends and family is the easiest way. Set up a photoshoot beforehand to take photos of you with colored balloons. You can then simply post one of the photos to Instagram or Facebook and explain how excited you are! Expectant parents choose pink if their baby is a girl, and blue if it's a boy. However, there are no set rules.
Flatlay Picture
This is a simple technique that can have a big impact. You can take a photo of your custom onesie and add props such as toys, blankets, or binky around it. It will add depth to your photo and create a beautiful backdrop for your baby. You can be as creative or simple as you like with these photos. You can either add a wordboard with your baby's date to announce their arrival, or you can caption the picture with the due date and more details. Parents often choose to capture pictures of milestones in pregnancy such as ultrasound images and baby kick counts. You decide what is best for your family.
Maternity Pictures
Your first step in creating your maternity photos is to choose a photographer. Your photographer will guide you through every step of the photoshoot to ensure that you get beautiful photos that reflect your pregnancy. You'll be able to talk with your photographer about specific poses and other ideas during your photo shoot. You can come up with many poses before you arrive at the shoot, and then discuss which look and feel best. It is important to consider how much skin you would like to show in your photo shoot. Some photographers offer both covered or uncovered options. Others prefer one option. Surprise your friends with a full-figured baby bump is the best way to surprise them.
Baby announcements are getting more creative these days. The baby announcement that was once just a photo of mommy showing her naked belly is now much more. It's not surprising that baby announcements are appearing on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. This is because social media has taken over.
Since every baby grows at his/her own pace, measure the baby's height for the best fit. It is much more accurate than going off of the baby's age. Call us with any questions and we will be happy to help you determine the best fit for your baby.
