MATERNITY GUIDE

 

 

Hey! I'm Bidi

 

My name is Bidi, a passionate photographer and proud parent of two wonderful children. My journey into photography began with capturing the precious moments of my own family. I specialize in newborn, maternity and family photography, aiming to create beautiful, timeless images that you can cherish forever. With every session, I strive to make the experience relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring natural and spontaneous photos. Let's capture your special moments together!

WELCOME

I'm so glad you're here!

Thank you for choosing me to be part of your special moment as an expectant mother, and for allowing me the privilege of capturing your memories. Your trust and confidence in my work mean everything to me.

I hope the images we create together exceed your expectations and bring joy to your heart. Thank you for being such an incredible client and for giving me the opportunity to do what I love.

 


Timing

 

It's best to schedule your maternity shoot between 28 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your baby bump is typically visible and beautiful, allowing us to capture stunning images that highlight this special stage. However, you're free to book your shoot earlier or later if that works better for you! The important thing is to choose a time when you feel most comfortable and excited to celebrate your journey.

 

Golden hour shoots are truly stunning for maternity photography. The soft sunlight and warm atmosphere create the most beautiful images, perfectly capturing this special moment.

If you have multiple little ones, the session will naturally transition into a family shoot. While golden hour can be a bit challenging with children due to timing, I'm here to help make it a wonderful experience. We'll keep things relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring you get beautiful memories without placing too many expectations on the kids.

 

 

 

 

On the day of your maternity shoot, excitement and anticipation fill the air!

We'll meet at a stunning location that resonates with your vision, whether it's a serene park, hills a picturesque beach, open fields or a cozy indoor setting. As we begin, I'll take the time to ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable, guiding you through poses that highlight your natural beauty.

Feel free to bring along any special items or outfits that represent your journey-like tiny shoes, ultrasound photos, or meaningful accessories.

These personal touches will help create a unique story in your images.

Throughout the session, we'll capture a mix of playful moments and serene poses, allowing your personality to shine through. Whether it's a gentle touch to your belly or a laugh with your partner, every shot will celebrate the joy of motherhood.

Most importantly, this day is all about you and the incredible journey you're on. I'm here to make the experience enjoyable and memorable, and I can't wait to create beautiful images that you'll cherish for a

LOCATION

 

 

Choosing the right location for your maternity shoot can make all the difference in capturing the beauty of this special time. Whether you prefer a serene outdoor setting, like a lush park or a scenic beach, or a cozy indoor space that feels like home, the options are endless. Outdoor locations provide stunning natural light and vibrant backdrops, while indoor settings can offer warmth and intimacy. Think about places that hold meaning for you, such as where you and your partner first met or a favorite spot you love to visit. No matter the choice, I'll work with you to ensure we find the perfect location that reflects your personality and style, creating beautiful images that celebrate your journey into motherhood. Let's make this experience as special as the moments we'll capture!

 

Studio



Maternity

Maternity sessions are the perfect way to celebrate that growing connection before baby arrives. Whether you're after the soft golden light of an outdoor session or the cozy, intimate feel of my West Melton studio, l've got you covered. Studio sessions are calm, private, and away from unpredictable weather.

 

WHAT TO WEAR

 

Clients frequently inquire about appropriate attire for their photo sessions. Clothing selections significantly impact the quality and aesthetic of photographic results. I recommend developing a coordinated colour scheme comprising 3-4 complementary tones—such as earth tones, neutrals, or pastels—that permits individual expression while maintaining visual cohesion between all participants and the surrounding environment.

Client Wardrobe—Complimentary Access



Complimentary access to a curated Client wardrobe is available when you book a session. The collection includes pregnancy-friendly dresses and outfits in sizes 8–18, designed for maternity photography and professional shoots.

This service provides styling options for your session. The collection features pieces that offer both elegance and comfort, allowing you to select an outfit that suits your preferences.
