Where can you take pregnancy pictures?

Expectant mothers can pose for pictures at any location that does not prohibit photography, including public parks, sidewalks and beaches. Before participating in maternity photos on private property, those involved must obtain permission from the owner.

Other people, such as strangers who happen to be in the background, can legally appear in photos taken on outdoor public property. Depending on local laws, individuals might need permission from people who are in the background of indoor photos, such as those taken inside a shopping mall or at a restaurant. Expectant mothers who want maternity photos can take self-portraits, pose for family and friends, or hire a professional photography agency. Picture People and J.C. Penney both offer in-studio photo shoots for pregnant women.
