Bump portraits that feel like you
Relaxed maternity sessions for expecting mothers, couples and growing families, outdoors or at your home. Natural light, an unhurried pace, and photographs that look like you right now.
The Sweet Spot
is 28–34 Weeks
This is when the bump is fully round and clearly visible, but before the baby sits lower, so you are still comfortable standing, moving and posing without much effort. Most mums describe this window as the point where they feel most like themselves again.
Sessions can work a little earlier too, from around 26 weeks, as there is more gentle movement and less time on your feet in any one pose. This is general guidance on comfort and timing, not medical advice, so always go with what feels right for you and your midwife.
If you have passed 34 weeks, please do not worry. We still run sessions right up to 37 or 38 weeks. It simply means a more relaxed pace and a slightly shorter session.
Outdoors,
or at your home
Outdoor locations
Howth, Malahide, Phoenix Park, the Dublin coastline and quiet woodland spots. Natural light and open space, which suits you if you would feel more relaxed moving around than standing still in one place.
At your home
If you would prefer to stay somewhere familiar and private, we can photograph the session at your own home using natural window light. A comfortable option, especially later in the pregnancy.
Partner & children welcome
Partners are part of every session and we always take some portraits together. If you have older children who want to join, bring them along. Some of the loveliest images are of a toddler touching the bump.
What to wear
We guide you on this beforehand. Flowing dresses, fitted fabrics and soft wraps tend to work well, and nothing too busy or heavily patterned. Traditional or Indian outfits photograph beautifully too. Bring a second outfit if you would like a change of look.
Irish weather plan
If we have booked outdoors and the weather is against us, we move to your home or reschedule, with no charge to move the date. It happens often here and we always have a plan for it.
The pace
There is no rush. We take breaks, try a few different setups, and spend time on what works for you. If you feel you have plenty at 45 minutes, that is fine, and if you would like a little longer we keep going.
