"Portraits to remember the tenderness and strength of pregnancy"
Your body is doing something extraordinary right now, and it will only look like this for a short while. A pregnancy portrait session isn’t about documenting a bump but it’s about taking a break in the middle of everything else that’s happening around you during your pregnancy, and to see yourself the way your child one day will: as someone who carried them.
Many women arrive feeling unsure about their changing body, and that’s completely normal. Alena guides you gently through posing, angles, and movement, so you don’t have to know what to do, Alena will take care of you. Soft studio light, simple wardrobe, sometimes more special, and enough time to settle in before the camera comes out.
This session is for you if you’re somewhere between 30 and 38 weeks and want a keepsake that isn’t a phone photo in a bathroom mirror. It’s for first pregnancies and for the ones after, for solo sessions and for sessions with a partner or your other children. Some women want elegant images just for themselves. Others want to include the whole family in a few photos. Both are welcome here.
Whatever this pregnancy means to you, this is a way to remember it clearly — not just how you looked, but how it felt to be here.
Begin with a free consultation – in studio, or by phone. No committment.
Most women come between 30 and 36 weeks, when the bump is full but you’re still comfortable moving and posing for one to one and a half hour. Book a few weeks ahead so we can pick a date before that window closes. Of course you are also completely welcome after 36 weeks.
Yes. If you want this session is just for you, but you’re welcome to include your partner or other children for part of the time. Let us know when booking so we can plan for it. However we would recommend that he/they will come a bit later to give you some time for yourself.
Yes, this is one of the most common feelings women bring into this session, and it’s exactly what Alena is used to working with. You’ll be guided through poses that feel natural and will feel comfortable very fast during the session.
You will have access to our studio wardrobe, plus guidance beforehand on what tends to photograph well at this stage: usually simple, flowing pieces. Alena will talk it through with you before your session so you arrive without guesswork.
Makeup is included in the Glow Collection. Hairstyling can be added for an additional €70 to the Collection.
As soon as you know your due date, ideally by your second trimester. The 30–36 week window is short, and popular dates fill up.
