Maternity session: a gentle story about waiting
Maternity photography is not about a perfect bump — it is about closeness, anticipation and a soft mark in time you want to remember.
The sweet spot is often weeks 28–34 — the bump is visible but movement still feels comfortable. Schedule morning or golden hour outdoors or in a studio with a large window.
Choose simple, flowing shapes and one or two tones that complement skin. Including a partner or older children completes the story — optional, but often yields the most emotional frames.
Before the session, browse the <a href="https://mariaphoto.lv/en/portfolio/maternity/" rel="noopener">maternity portfolio</a> to understand light and composition direction. That helps the photographer prepare location and pace for you.
