What is maternity photography?
Maternity photography is about capturing the beauty and emotion of your pregnancy journey. It’s an opportunity to celebrate this special time in your life by creating timeless images that highlight the bond between you and your growing baby. Using a blend of journalistic and artistic styles, I aim to document genuine, heartfelt moments you’ll cherish forever. Whether in a lush green park, a vibrant urban setting, or the comfort of your home, maternity photography is about preserving the anticipation, joy, and love that define this unique chapter of your story.

I recommend scheduling your maternity photo session between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.

Of course, every pregnancy is unique, so we can always tailor the timing to suit your individual needs and preferences.
