LIFESTYLE MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER – CAPTURING THE MAGIC OF PREGNANCY

Being pregnant and introducing new life to this world is, in my opinion, the biggest milestone in one’s life. It’s a special time for the whole family. It’s exciting – and stressful – and when the baby finally gets here, it can be exhausting and overwhelming.

While pregnant, you may feel big and uncomfortable. I’ve been there, I know! You might not think of hiring a professional maternity photographer. The very idea of posing and trying to look your best just doesn’t appeal to you at this time.

But, I have news for you.

PREGNANCY IS BEAUTIFUL

Expecting mothers have a special glow that no makeup or styling could replace. Believe it or not, they really DO look amazing!

That is why it’s so important to capture those beautiful memories. In a few years when your baby is all grown up, it will be exciting to be reminded of these moments. Trust me.

LIFESTYLE MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION

An easy solution is a lifestyle photo shoot. The ambience of the session is relaxed as I photograph your life just the way it is in the comfortable sanctuary of your home.

No awkward posing, no forced smiles. It’s just you being YOU. I photograph you cuddling your partner and playing with your kids. You can sit on your favourite couch, wear your favourite clothes, and drink coffee. It’s easy because it’s second nature. 

Of course, if you want a few posed photos, like showing off your beautiful belly, I am totally up for it! I’m here for you and whatever works best for your family and vision.

MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER ON A MISSION

The more families I photograph, the more stories I hear. I’ve realised how important it is to immortalise this amazing moment in life.

Imagine your kids’ excitement finding these photos 20 years down the road. I would love to see what my mum looked like; how she lived, what she wore when pregnant with me. Unfortunately, I don’t have that option. Without photographs, it is not possible.

Besides creating beautiful images for you to appreciate now, my mission is simple. As a maternity photographer, I’m here to create a visual heritage of your family for generations to come. 


When to schedule a maternity photoshoot?

Timing is crucial when it comes to maternity photography. Most photographers recommend scheduling the session between the 30th and 36th week of pregnancy. During this period, your baby bump is beautifully round, and you’re still comfortable enough to pose gracefully. However, every pregnancy is unique, and an experienced maternity photographer will work with you to determine the best time that suits your individual needs.


How to choose you maternity photographer?

When selecting a maternity photographer in Nice, it’s essential to do thorough research and review their portfolio. Look for photographers who specialize in maternity and newborn photography, as they will have the expertise to capture the delicate moments with finesse. Browse their previous work to ensure that their style resonates with your aesthetic preferences. Additionally, read reviews and testimonials from past clients to gauge their professionalism, reliability, and ability to deliver exceptional results. Also try to determine if you would be a good fit, if their sense of humour, values line up with yours.


When is the best time to take maternity photos

Maternity photos are best taken at the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd trimester. That’s when you have a visible bump, yet still feel good! But it’s possible to have a session a few weeks before the due date if you prefer. It’s totally up to you!


How long does a photo session last?

The session usually last 1-1,5 hours. We want to have enough time to capture your family, without tiring anybody. If you have smaller kids, we try to make it as quick as possible.


Where is the best location for maternity photos?

Preferably we schedule the photoshoot at your home with other family members present. This way we can document your life just the way it is. But outdoors in your favourite park or somewhere in town is also possible.

If you like what you see here and think we could be a good team, feel free to contact me!

I also offer newborn sessions done at your home and fresh 48 sessions done at the hospital.
