Everything you need to know about maternity photography
Here you will find answers and information to the most common questions about pregnancy photography.
When is the best time to take pictures?
We would like to recommend you to schedule the shoot at the end of your 7th or below
8th month of pregnancy. During the third trimester, your belly will be just the right size.
At that point it will be big and beautiful, but not so big that it is difficult for you to move
and change position.
Just don't wait until the last minute to schedule your shoot! Plan ahead with us
and get started in your calendar well in advance.
Should I bring something with me for photography or is it available to borrow?
You are very welcome to bring your favorite maternity dresses and other clothes. We have a
large selection of fabrics in different colors and accessories. There are, for example, soft silks that are
prefect for flowing. Delicate white chiffon mainly used in the photography portrait or it
white, soft cottons that are great for showing off your belly or French lace that makes you
portrait so elegant and luxurious.
Photography in Studio or Outdoors?
A maternity shoot usually involves being indoors
studio or outdoors in nature depends on the weather, wishes and planning. In our studio we have
many different beautiful backgrounds and do you have a piece of beautiful forest near you or something else
scenic area that would make the perfect backdrop, we'd love to come along

If you prefer to use props in our studio or at your home, we are happy to
tell me more about which dresses, which colors would be used during your maternity shoot.

I want my partner/family in the picture
You are more than welcome to the photo shoot with your family members! There are many ways to shoot family portraits.
Can I be photographed by a female photographer?
Yes absolutely. As I said, we are both photographers, so if you want a photographer as a woman or a man, it's great for us. It may be a little extra topical for those of you who are not comfortable being half-naked in front of the camera when it is a male photographer.
How long will it take ?
The time of pregnancy photography can be slightly longer than that of a normal portrait and it depends on some circumstances. First of all, pregnancy photography takes place late into the pregnancy, which means there is a giant belly to carry around. With that in mind, we take breaks more often than usual. On the other hand wishes are an important factor, - if you want to try on different dresses, lighting and backgrounds, it will take at least about 1.5 hours. Therefore, you can count on 1-3 hours to wear, then we will have time to do everything without stress and effort.
What is included in a Package?
A photo package usually consists of the photo shoot itself and digital image files, as for example in the smallest package for portrait photography "HEADSHOT". If you choose a larger package with more images , one of our fine photo products comes with: Development with passepartout, Folio box, Photo album and more. Please see the description in each package and never hesitate if you have questions or concerns.
When will the pictures be ready?
The pictures are usually ready after two weeks, but in a high season, for example, it can take 1-2 weeks extra. The same applies to low seasons when the time is shorter and usually lasts a few days to a week.
We always take into account that you may be in a hurry and make sure you get your photos when you need them.
How many pictures are included in a package?
Depending on which package you choose, everything from 5 to 30+ is included.
There are always more images from outdoor photography than in the studio as it is more reportage photography.
Sometimes quantity isn't what you're looking for, so it's entirely up to you.
​
How do I get pictures?
The images are delivered via a digital link to your gallery. In the picture gallery there is the possibility to select/mark your favorite pictures that you like the most and want to buy.
In addition, we can deliver images on a USB stick as a backup for you.
Can you enlarge pictures?
We absolutely can. We have top printers from Canon that can deliver all formats up to A2. We always recommend choosing us as the developer as we keep track of various settings before and during printing. This means that the images you choose are exactly what you get on photo paper.
