Maternity Shots

[tkerbell]

I know this will be a odd question and I will apologize in advance if it is already posted somewhere....onward....

I have a friend who has asked me to do a Maternity photo shoot....I am fine with doing it I figure she knows I am still in the learning phase and she is helping me build my portfolio...anyway we came across a few poses she and her hubby would like to do BUT there is one that looks like the Mother-to-be has a sheet (or some type of material) wrapped in such a way that it hides her bust and covers her from the pelvis down, only belly showing - does anyone know how to wrap this material - I have tried Google and have had no such luck.... also any idea on where to get the said material and about how much to get....

FWIW - I did a maternity photo shoot when I was pregnant 15 years ago - but I did mine in the buff and used props like masks, heels and hosiery and certain poses to hide the crucial body parts....

thanks in advance!!

It might be too late now but I took some maternity photos of myself and just used tulling. Mainly because it's what I already had on hand. I think plain white fabric (or black) would work just fine. I wore a strapless bra and panties and kind of tucked some of the fabric into my undergarments to hold it up. I may have used safety pins or something too, I don't really remember. Others may have better suggestions but this is what I did and it worked well enough.

I agree with Bethard728, I did one a few years ago and we used a whole heap of while tule and just wore the strapless bra and pants...people always comment how nice those ones turned out.
