Export Posing and Attention to Detail

Every detail matters. From where your hair falls to how your clothes are positioned, I carefully refine every element to ensure perfection in every shot.

Using a single studio light, I create timeless and evocative lighting styles that enhance the mood and impact of your portraits. This controlled and artistic approach adds depth and ensures your images are stunning.

My retouching process focuses on subtle enhancements, preserving your natural beauty while addressing any insecurities you may feel during pregnancy.

Preparing for Your Maternity Photoshoot
Hair
Visit your hairdresser a week before your session to allow time for adjustments and natural settling.
Hands and Nails
Don't overlook your hands!
- Trim and manicure nails for everyone joining the shoot.
- Choose neutral or clear nail polish for a timeless look.
Make-Up
Natural make-up enhances your features beautifully. I can arrange an additional fee for a professional make-up artist.
Scheduling Your Session
Plan your maternity session 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.
- Ideal Timing: Between 30 and 35 weeks for a prominent yet comfortable bump.
Creating Meaningful Portraits
I am dedicated to crafting portraits beyond the surface, capturing the emotional connections that make your story unique. Subtle gestures—like the placement of hands or the expression in your eyes—add layers of meaning that transform each image into a deeply compelling and memorable work of art.
