A maternity shoot with the whole family tells a complete story of the pregnancy journey and the love surrounding the expectant mother.
Capturing the whole family—partner, children, and even pets—shows a full spectrum of love and anticipation for the new arrival.
Each photo tells a part of the family's story at this pivotal moment: a tender hug, a playful moment, or a quiet reflection. These images document the physical changes during pregnancy and capture the emotional and relational dynamics that deepen as the family prepares to welcome a new member. This comprehensive approach ensures the photoshoot reflects the genuine warmth and excitement shared by everyone involved.
Let me capture your special moments and be your storyteller.
All Hands on the Bump
The "all hands on the bump" pose is a classic and powerful way to symbolise the family's collective excitement and connection to the new baby. This pose visually captures the family's unity and support, showing everyone's involvement and anticipation. It's a beautiful representation of togetherness and a celebration of the upcoming addition to the family. Such images often become iconic within family albums, cherished for their symbolic value and the loving sentiments they convey.
Sibling Involvement
Involving siblings in maternity photos is a wonderful way to foster connections early on and make them feel valued in the family's changing dynamics. It helps siblings prepare for the new baby's arrival and offers them a significant role during this special time. Capturing their interactions with the baby bump—whether gently touching, talking to, or simply being near their mother—can add a rich emotional depth to your photos. These images can beautifully document the growing bonds and love within the family, making the photos even more meaningful and cherished.
Family Silhouette
A family maternity silhouette can be incredibly striking and meaningful. By focusing on the shape of the mother's bump and the outlines of other family members, you can craft an image that is both artistic and deeply symbolic. This type of photography highlights the pregnancy's beauty and significance and captures the family's unity and support. The silhouette creates a powerful visual impact, making it a standout piece that beautifully conveys the anticipation and love shared by the family during this special time.
Candid Moments
Natural, candid interactions during maternity photoshoots can capture some of the most heartfelt and passionate moments. When family members share laughter, hugs, or tender glances, these natural exchanges showcase their genuine emotions and connections. Such photos resonate deeply because they reflect the joy, love, and excitement of expecting a new family member. They also help tell a personal story that feels real and relatable, creating a lasting impact and a cherished collection of memories for the family.
Family Outfits
Coordinating outfits with solid colours can enhance a maternity photoshoot's cohesiveness. Solid colours help minimise distractions, allowing the focus to remain on the family's expressions and emotions. This can be especially effective in creating timeless and elegant images highlighting the family's intimate connections and joyous anticipation as they await their new member. Careful attention to wardrobe choices significantly contributes to the photographs' visual impact and emotional depth.
Family Pet
Including family pets in maternity shoots adds a special layer of warmth and completeness to maternity portraits. Pets are often considered integral family members, and their presence can bring a unique and joyful dynamic to the photos. It also captures the full essence of the family at that moment in time, creating a more authentic and cherished memory for everyone involved. These portraits can beautifully showcase the love and bonds within the entire family, making them even more precious.
Playful Poses
Playful and natural poses make maternity photoshoots so much more personal and engaging. When the poses capture genuine interactions, they reflect the true spirit and joy of the family. This makes the session enjoyable for everyone involved, resulting in photographs to cherish for authenticity and emotional resonance. These are the moments that families love to look back on as they tell the real story of their anticipation and happiness during such a special time.
Intimate Moments
Capturing those intimate moments enhances the emotional depth of maternity photos. Close-ups of tender interactions, like a partner embracing the expectant mother or a sibling gently resting on the bump, beautifully illustrate the shared love and support of the family. These moments are deeply touching and tell a story of unity and anticipation that is both personal and universal. This approach can create powerful images that resonate with all who see them, preserving the special memories most meaningfully.

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
