Professionally trained in Germany, I have been photographing the human form for over 20 years.
Capturing the beauty of pregnancy allows me to celebrate the incredible journey of motherhood. Each maternity session is a unique opportunity to showcase the radiant glow and inner strength of expecting mothers, highlighting the profound bond between mother and child before they even meet.
Maternity photography enables me to create timeless and meaningful images that families will cherish for a lifetime. It’s a privilege to freeze moments of joy, anticipation, and love in photographs that will become treasured keepsakes for generations to come. Seeing the joy and emotion on my clients’ faces when they view their maternity photos reaffirms why I love this genre of photography.
Through careful planning and creative direction, I strive to make each maternity session a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Building rapport with my clients and witnessing their excitement as we capture beautiful memories together is incredibly rewarding and fuels my passion for maternity photography.
What is Maternity Photography ?
Maternity photography is a genre of photography that focuses on capturing the beauty, emotions, and journey of pregnancy. It involves creating artistic and intimate images of expectant mothers to celebrate this special time in their lives. I use various techniques, poses, and settings to showcase the unique glow, love, and anticipation that come with pregnancy.
These photo sessions typically take place during the later stages of pregnancy when the baby bump is prominently visible. Maternity photographers work closely with their clients to plan and create personalized sessions that reflect the personality and style of the expectant mother and her family. The goal is to capture moments of joy, connection, and anticipation, creating timeless images that families can treasure for years to come.
Why do a Maternity Photoshoot ?
Expectant mums often choose to do a maternity photo shoot for several meaningful reasons. These sessions allow them to capture the unique journey of pregnancy, from the visible growth of the baby bump to the anticipation of welcoming a new life into the world. It’s a way to celebrate the beauty of motherhood and the profound bond between a mother and her unborn child.
Maternity photography also serves as a means to create lasting memories. These photos become treasured keepsakes that families can look back on, capturing a moment in time filled with love, joy, and excitement. Maternity shoots document the physical changes and growth that occur during pregnancy, providing a visual representation of the journey from pregnancy to motherhood.
A maternity photo shoot can be a bonding experience for expectant parents and their families. It’s a time for them to come together, celebrate the upcoming arrival, and create beautiful memories as they embark on this new chapter of their lives. Maternity photography is a way for expectant mothers to embrace and cherish this transformative and special time, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.

“Whitepoint Photography are amazing! We found these gems for our wedding photographers and came back for more when we got pregnant with our first! Baby bump pictures and newborn pics just made the whole timeline fantastic. Carmen was amazingly patient with our son (only 6 days old at the time). The environment that is set is so relaxing and comforting which is just what you need for a new born. The pictures she got were stunning and we can’t wait to come back for more when we have our second!” Felicity
“When our beautiful baby boy was born there was no question who I wanted to take our newborn shots after the wonderful job Whitepoint photography did on our wedding. Carmen was wonderful with our bubba and using her skills and fantastically equipped studio she produced amazing shots. We could not be happier with the final result.” Elise
” We were so, so happy with the photos we had done at whitepoint, I would recommend them highly. Carmen was both professional and relaxed and had beforehand discussed with us if we had wanted a theme, or if we had any ideas already. She has many ideas which was great. The photos turned out fantastic, we had some blown up and we had an album made. this for us was money well spent, we get to keep these beautiful images forever.” Jodie
How to Prepare for a Maternity Photography Session
To ensure a positive and memorable maternity photography experience, careful preparation is essential. Here are some key steps to consider.
Schedule Your Maternity Photography Session
Plan your maternity session well in advance, especially if you have specific dates or locations in mind. I recommend scheduling the session during the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy when your bump is beautifully rounded but you’re still comfortable enough for posing.
Choose Outfits
Select outfits that make you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. Flowing dresses, fitted tops with maternity jeans or leggings, and lingerie with a robe or wrap are popular choices. Consider outfits that highlight your baby bump while also reflecting your personal style.
Prepare Your Hair
We have a team of expert hair stylists to ensure your maternal beauty is demonstrated in every photo, matching the makeup, style and mood you want to capture from a classic updo or cascading curls. We recommend washing the hair 1-2 days prior to the photoshoot.
On the day of the shoot, relax, and enjoy the experience. Trust me for guidance for posing and expressions, and let your natural joy and excitement shine through.
