Expecting twins or a high-risk pregnancy? Book around 24 to 28 weeks so you feel your best.
What to Wear (Bring Your Own)
- Flowing gowns and maxi dresses: solid colours, textured fabrics and empire-waist cuts
- Neutral and earth tones photograph beautifully
- Family: coordinate complementary neutrals instead of exact matches or bold logos
How to Prepare
- Hydrate and rest the night before
- Wear loose clothing on the way to avoid marks on your skin
- Simple, neutral nails: close-ups often feature hands on your bump
The Moments in Time Difference
Maternity portraits are artwork you will look back on for generations. Every image from your session is hand-edited and professionally retouched in-house for clean colours, smooth tones and a flawless finish. We manage every detail locally in Halifax, from your first consultation to your finished portraits.
Maternity Photography FAQ
When is the best time to have maternity portraits taken?
The ideal window is between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Your bump is beautifully defined and round, and you are still comfortable enough to move and pose easily. If you are expecting twins or have a high-risk pregnancy, we recommend booking a little earlier, around 24 to 28 weeks.
Should I choose a studio or outdoor maternity session?
Both are beautiful. Our private studio at 51 Crozier Court in Halifax offers soft, controlled lighting and seamless backdrops. Outdoor sessions use natural light and scenery across Halifax, Bedford and Dartmouth, from golden-hour parks to coastal views.
Can my partner and older children join the session?
Yes. Partners and older siblings are always welcome. Genuine interactions, hugs and shared excitement add a meaningful layer to your maternity portraits.
What should I wear to my maternity session?
Please bring your own outfits, as we do not supply clothing. Flowing gowns and maxi dresses in solid colours or textured fabrics, and empire-waist cuts, photograph beautifully. For family members, choose complementary neutral colours rather than exact matches or bold logos.
How should I prepare for my session?
Rest and hydrate the night before, wear loose clothing on the way to the studio to avoid marks on your skin, and choose a simple, clean or neutral manicure, since hands resting on your bump often feature in close-ups.
Where are your maternity sessions held?
In our private Halifax studio, or at outdoor locations across Halifax, Bedford and Dartmouth.
