Thinking about doing a maternity shoot? THIS is the trend you need to know about

Many expectant mamas want to commemorate their pregnancies with a maternity photo shoot.  And why wouldn't you – I mean; what an amazing time in your life to remember. The thing is, if you are doing one, you might want this particular little heads-up about this year's absolute biggest (and blingest!) maternity shoot trend: Glitter. That's right, mamas – 2017 is all about the having the sparkliest, glitziest fun to capture that growing tummy of yours – at least if this Australian maternity photographer is to be believed. In what way, I hear you ask – to which we only have one thing to tell you: GLITTER BATHS! And when you think about it, it really makes all sorts of sense – I mean; talk about transforming yourself into the glowing goddess that you really are these days. Don't think this sounds like it's for you? Well, just take a look:

Today we get to see those eyes sparkle ✨??✨ #feb10 #firstdaugther #ahhhhh ?

AH-MAZING; right? Oh, and don't worry if glitter isn't your cup of tea – how about a flower bath (equally mesmerising, we think!)

In the meaning of colours, Purple and Violet represent the future, the imagination & dreams, while spiritually calming the emotions ?
