Capturing Your Partnership

Importance of Couple Maternity Photos

Including your partner in your maternity photoshoot adds a meaningful and touching dimension to pregnancy portraits. Let me capture the shared excitement and emotional bond by creating lasting memories of this unique period in your lives together.

These images can beautifully reflect the support and love surrounding the growing family, making them even more special. If you're planning such a session, consider poses that show interaction and connection between you both, which can highlight that shared journey into parenthood.

Celebrating the Journey Together

Maternity sessions that include partners truly celebrate the shared journey of pregnancy, marking it not just as a milestone for the expectant mother but for the couple together as they prepare to nurture a new life. These sessions can capture mutual support, love, and anticipation, making the photographs even more poignant and meaningful. It's about documenting a pivotal chapter where two people transition into parenthood together, preserving those tender moments before their lives change forever.

Capturing Emotional Connections

Capturing the emotional connections during maternity shoots is incredibly powerful. For first-time parents, these images serve as keepsakes and vivid portrayals of a significant life transition filled with anticipation and joy. Each photograph can encapsulate the profound emotions of the moment, from tender glances to joyous embraces, offering a glimpse into the couple's evolving journey as they prepare to welcome their child. These memories become treasures, reminders of the beginning of their expanded family story.

Creating Lasting Memories

Pregnancy is a fleeting and transformative time; professional photos capture that special phase with beauty and detail. High-quality images preserve this important time and become cherished keepsakes that families will look back on for generations. These photos beautifully showcase this unique period's anticipation, excitement, and emotional depth, making them timeless reminders of the couple's journey to parenthood.

Ideal Time For Your Maternity Shoot

Personal Expression

Couple maternity photography is a wonderful opportunity for personal expression, allowing partners to showcase their unique personalities and feelings about becoming parents. Themed photoshoots can reflect their interests, hobbies, or cultural backgrounds, adding a personalised touch that makes the photos even more special. This customisation makes each session unique and deeply reflective of the couple's journey and anticipation of their new arrival.

Strengthening Relationships

Participating in a maternity shoot can indeed be a bonding experience for couples. It's a shared activity that focuses on their mutual care and excitement for the upcoming arrival of their baby. These sessions often provide a space for couples to connect and reflect on their journey together, deepening their understanding and appreciation for each other. This experience can reinforce their relationship, capturing moments of intimacy, joy, and partnership they can look back on with fondness. These memories strengthen their bond and serve as a beautiful introduction to their life as parents.

Artistic and Emotional Expression

Having both parents in the frame during a maternity shoot allows photographers to delve deeper into artistic and emotional expression. This setup provides a broader canvas to explore complex compositions and capture a range of interactions and emotions between the couple. The presence of both partners enhances the ability to convey a richer narrative, embodying the shared anticipation, love, and complexity of their relationship.

Photographers can use dramatic lighting, unique poses, or symbolic elements to create resonating evocative images. These photographs document a life event and artistically encapsulate the essence of the couple's bond and their personalities in anticipation of parenthood.

Inclusivity and Support

Including both partners in maternity photos is a wonderful way to emphasise the non-pregnant partner's supportive role and frame the pregnancy as a shared journey. This approach not only highlights the involvement of both individuals but also shifts the narrative from focusing solely on the mother to recognising it as a collective experience. By documenting the active participation of both partners, the photos convey a message of unity and mutual support, reinforcing the idea that both are equally integral to this transformative period. This inclusivity in maternity photography can be empowering and affirming, celebrating both parents' commitment and emotional investment in welcoming their new family member.


It is an incredible experience connecting pregnancy's power, beauty and celebration. Bridget is a true artist and brings the sacredness of the pregnancy journey to the fore through her photos. HINOR SACKS

Thank you for our beautiful maternity shoot. We enjoyed ourselves, which was both professional and fun. We treasure our photos; they came out beautifully from your creative ideas. MICHELLE WELLS

If you are looking for a stunning professional picture, look no further. Your photos will look like they are straight out of a magazine! Bridget can make you feel at ease to get the best smile out of you. We did a family photoshoot when I was pregnant and then one with the baby (+ 2 dogs) and still managed to get great shots. We now have unforgettable memories captured that we will cherish for a lifetime. ANGELA BASCHIERI
