Maternity Photoshoot
Congratulations on your pregnancy! As you nurture a new life, this period can often feel long with so many changes that you are experiencing, yet somehow it flies by. Therefore these sessions are about more than just a "bump photo"; they are about honoring your strength as you are creating a new life.
My goal is to capture your glow using soft, natural light with a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you want an intimate solo session or with your partner and family, we’ll move at your pace.
- What to Expect: My sessions are unhurried and natural, typically last for 60 minutes. We can meet in the comfort of your home while you are nesting or at a location that feels like "you." To add some variety to your gallery, you’re more than welcome to bring a second outfit that is easy to change and style. You can also bring significant items to the shoot such as your baby's ultrasound images, birth cards, baby's first outfits etc..
- When to Book: Ideally, please reach out to me during your second trimester (around week 20) so we that have plenty of time to plan your shoot. If you’re already in your third trimester, please send me a message anyway! I’ll always do my best to fit you in if I have a last-minute opening.
- The Best Timing of the shoot: We usually aim for weeks 28 to 36. This is the "sweet spot" where your bump is beautifully defined, but you’re still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience. For twins, weeks 24 to 30 are usually best.
Investment: €299 incl. 21% VAT (includes 20 high-resolution edited images*). If you are interested, I also offer a "Bump to Baby package" which is a package of maternity & newborn shoot for €599 incl. 21% VAT (includes 40 high-resolution edited images). More information available here.
