Some pictures from our latest maternity photoshoot

General information
What is a maternity shoot?
A pregnancy photo shoot is a photo shoot that is taken during pregnancy for a soon-to-be mother. We glorify the unity between mother and child through photography.
When should you plan your maternity shoot?
We would like to recommend planning maternity photography at the end of your 7th or during the 8th month of pregnancy. During the third trimester, your belly will be just the right size. At that point it will be big and beautiful, but not so big that it is difficult for you to move and change position.
Just don't wait until the last minute to schedule your shoot! Plan ahead with us and get started in your calendar well in advance.

To be yourself, to feel being happy and letting yourself be filled with happiness are the secrets to a perfect photo shoot. We will capture the magic and the most important emotions in life..
Props, Background and Lighting
The background is a personal choice; a maternity shoot usually involves being indoors in the studio or outdoors in nature depending on the weather, wishes and planning. In our studio we have many different beautiful backgrounds and if you have a piece of beautiful forest near you or some other incredibly scenic area that would make the perfect background, we will gladly come with our equipment and photograph you.
Being photographed outdoors can mean a little better planning and adaptation when you want to take advantage of the most beautiful light conditions, such as before sunset or when it is a little cloudy and the light is at its softest.
If you prefer to use props in our studio or at your home, we will be happy to tell you more about which dresses, which colors would suit your maternity shoot. In our assortment there are different fabrics and props and props in different colors and styles that suit everyone.
Lighting is the big part that determines exactly which style you want: a little more dramatic or with lots of light and as few shadows as possible.
The wardrobe
You are very welcome to bring your favorite maternity dresses and other clothes. We have a large selection of fabrics in different colors and accessories. For example, there are:
-
Soft silks that are prefect for flowing (of course we have a wind machine to bring the image to life)
-
Delicate white chiffon mainly used in full-body portrait photography of pregnant women
-
White, soft cotton that is good at showing off the stomach
-
French lace that makes your pregnancy portrait so elegant and soft.
