There’s something quietly powerful about standing in front of the lens during pregnancy. For many women, it’s one of the first times they pause to fully recognize the beauty of what their body is doing; creating life, adapting, expanding, holding space, anticipating.
I believe a maternity photoshoot isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s a declaration of sorts. A celebration of your femininity, your strength, your softness. If you’re searching for a glamorous maternity photographer in Burlington, here’s how to make the most of your session with me, and why it matters more than you might think.
1. Book at the Right Time (For Your Body and Mind)
This is the most common question I get. When is it the right time? We recommend scheduling your maternity photo session for somewhere between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully pronounced but you still feel physically comfortable.This is often the perfect time to slow down and honour this chapter, especially before the final stretch.
You’ll thank yourself later for choosing a moment where you can feel fully present in your body, your glow, your truth.
Note: This means though that we should connect at least a month before to ensure availability in our studio.
2. Elevate the Experience with Professional Hair + Makeup
We work with top Burlington wardrobe and makeup artists, like Woven and Melissa from Melissa Makeup Artistry as well as women stylists to ensure you feel supported and stunning. This isn’t about changing how you look – it’s about enhancing your natural beauty in a way that translates beautifully on camera.
It’s a beautiful way to indulge in a moment of care before you step into the wild unknown of new motherhood. You deserve to feel special. Because you are.
3. Make It Meaningful With People or Objects You Love
Want to include your partner, older siblings, or a cherished item from your own childhood? We welcome those additions, because they add layers of meaning and emotion to your portraits. Our Burlington maternity studio sessions are crafted to tell your story with softness and strength and we adore adding meaning and symbolism to make it that much more special for you.
