Pregnancy Announcement Photo Ideas for Couples
The formats that work: both of you holding the ultrasound, tiny shoes in your hands, or a hands-on-the-bump portrait at golden hour. Keep the caption short — a due-date month, or "Party of three." Shoot it landscape if you plan to send cards.
Announcement setups
- Both sets of hands holding the ultrasound photo
- Small shoes resting in your open palms
- A hands-on-the-bump portrait, faces optional
- A chalkboard or letterboard with the due date
Doing it yourselves
A phone on a tripod, golden-hour light, and a 10-second timer. Shoot a lot of frames — reactions and small movements read better than a held pose. See at-home shoot ideas and maternity couple photo ideas.

A proper maternity shoot around 30–34 weeks, when the bump is clearly showing but movement is still comfortable. Styles with soft light suit it — Desert Golden Hour, Coastal Wind.
If a parent is away
Deployed, working abroad, travelling — upload a photo of each of you to AI Couple Photo Maker so the announcement still shows both of you together.
When should we take the announcement photo?
Most couples shoot it in the first trimester and hold it until they're ready to share, often after the 12-week scan. There's no wrong time.
