Maternity Photography in the media

Maternity Portrait

The materntiy portrait is all the rage these days, celebrities are lining up to capture their pregnancy on the cover of their favourite magazine. It's not just about the publicity, it is more about the beauty of the female body as it creates life. It is a wonderful experience and increasing numbers of women are taking the time to get professional maternity portraits taken as a way of treasuring the memories of this time in their lives.

The maternity portrait session is designed for mums-to-be as a comfortable and relaxing experience where they can obtain beautiful images of one of the greatest experiences they can have.

+ Do I have to be nude?

In short, No. Your level of nudity is entirely up to you, from fully clothed to completely nude, we are comfortable with whatever level you choose. Whatever amount of nudity you decide is correct for you we will always ensure that it is photographed tastefully and in a flattering manner.

+ When is the best time to have a maternity shoot?

Between the 32nd and 34th weeks of your pregnancy is when your bump is at its finest. We are happy to shoot earlier if you develop sooner, and we are also happy to shoot after the 34th week if it fits in to your life more conveniently.

+ What about stretch marks?

Stretch marks are something which most women experience during pregnancy, and the sentiments are split as to whether they should be left in or not. So we leave the decision to you. Should you wish to have any stretch marks shown in your photos, we'll leave them in. If you want them removed, we shall edit them out.

Newborn Portrait

Capturing the early years is so important to every parent, kids grow so quickly and every single moment is precious. Starting from the day they are born until they are 15 months old is the fastest they will grow in their lives and we know that you can't capture every moment, but you can watch them grow at each step.

+ What if the baby cries?

Well, that's what babies do, and we can't force them to stop, so we set a good chunk of extra time aside and we soldier on. We recommend that before coming to a newborn portrait session you give your baby as much sleep as they want and feed them just before we begin (before or after you arrive, either is fine with us). The best apporach is to treat the shoot like a normal day.
