This post is all about the most creative pregnancy announcement photo ideas that everyone will love.
Creative Pregnancy Photo Ideas:
1. Use shadows to show off your bump
Isn't this photo beautiful? It's a subtle, yet memorable way to announce your pregnancy.
I love how her partner is included in the photo, but you could also take this by yourself. Experiment with different walls, backgrounds, props, and poses to come up with the perfect photo!
2. Beach pregnancy announcement photos
Taking this kind of photo is simple! Dig a shallow heart-shaped hole in the sand, big enough for your phone. Set your phone to self-timer mode (I'd have it take multiple photos to make sure you get a good one) and place in the hole!
You could also take this photo using sand by a lake or other body of water. Try different poses: kissing your partner, holding an ultrasound photo, holding a pregnancy test, hugging your partner, etc. Have fun with it!
3. Polaroid pregnancy announcement photos
New to Polaroid cameras, or not sure where to buy one? This is the one I've used in the past and it's so simple and easy to use!
Polaroid photos are fun because they're small enough to group together and take one big photo. The only downside is there is no digital file of the photos, but they usually photograph well.
You can incorporate your partner, your dog, your kids, and so many different and fun props into these polaroid pregnancy photos! Your creative juices will definitely be flowing.
4. Print out a "newspaper" announcement
This newspaper idea is so creative, and it doubles at a special keepsake for your baby's scrapbook or framed in their nursery! Etsy has some great options for ordering a custom baby announcement newspaper.
5. Make it a funny pregnancy announcement
If humor is your thing, buy a jar of Prego pasta sauce and take this hilarious picture! This is an inexpensive and cute way to announce your pregnancy.
6. Take pregnancy announcement photos with your dog
Family pregnancy announcement photos are never complete without your dog! There are so many fun ways to include your dog in your photos.
An idea that your family and friends will love is having the dog wear this shirt that says "my parents are getting me a human"- how stinking cute is that! I also love how it comes in so many different sizes, so no matter what kind of dog you have you'll find the right size.
7. Post photos of your gender reveal
There are so many cute ways to do gender reveals, and I've been loving this colored cake trend! Taking photos at your gender reveal is an easy way to announce your pregnancy. The fun part about waiting until your gender reveal is that you might have a small bump to show off in your photos too!
8. Wear cute mom and dad hats
Wearing these ADORABLE mom and dad hats is a fun and simple way to take your pregnancy announcement photos to the next level.
Looking for similar hats to the ones in this photo? I found these on Amazon, and they're sold as a set which is so nice. The best part is you can wear these hats anytime and anywhere- you're officially becoming parents!
9. Christmas pregnancy announcement photos
It's always fun to announce your pregnancy to your friends and family during such a magical and loving time of year. I cherish the memory of telling my family that I was pregnant with my first baby on the Christmas morning of 2021.
This could just be a setup for an Instagram photo, or you could set this up on the counter and surprise your family on Christmas morning!
10. Pregnancy announcement photos with kids
Involving your kids is so important when it comes to welcoming a new baby into the home! Letting them help with your pregnancy announcement photos is a fun way to help them get excited about a new sibling.
11. Letter board pregnancy announcement photos
Letter boards have become a popular way to announce pregnancies, and isn't it so cute? You can customize the board and add ultrasound photos, symbols, or whatever you'd like.
Leave this setup on the counter to surprise family and friends, or make it a special moment between you and your partner when he comes home for the day.
Wondering where in the world to buy a letter board? This is one of my favorites- it's inexpensive, great quality, and comes with all the letters and symbols you'll need.
12. Take outdoor pregnancy announcement photos
Looking for a way to DIY your maternity photoshoot or pregnancy announcement photoshoot? Hang baby clothes on a clothesline or get creative with a white sheet, and set up a tripod or have your partner take the photos for you!
13. Get creative with a mirror
If you want to have a more intimate feel to your pregnancy announcement photos, take them in your home! I love how this couple used a mirror- it's like we're taking a peek into their special moment together.
You'll have to find a photographer who can take this, or you could experiment with a tripod and your phone to get the perfect angle.
14. Pregnancy announcement photos at home
One of the simplest ways to take cute photos is to use a blank wall in your home! Decorate it with balloons, photos, letters, or anything you can think of.
It's best to find a spot in your home with good natural lighting. Try to find a wall that's opposite of a window, and take photos in the morning for the best results!
15. Head to your local grocery store
Steal these pregnancy announcement photo ideas if you're looking to give your friends and family a good laugh! Get creative with the items in the cart, the aisle that you're in, etc.
