Preparing your maternity session

The right time

I recommend planning your session around weeks 28 to 34: your beautiful bump is nicely rounded, and you are still perfectly comfortable moving around. It is only a guideline; the session is always possible earlier or later, whatever suits you best.

The outfits

Good news: there is nothing to buy. I put at your disposal a selection of maternity gowns, fabrics and accessories, in different sizes to suit your style and shape, in more or less covering versions according to your preference.

If you prefer to bring your own outfits, favour flowing fabrics and fitted cuts that beautifully highlight your bump. For colours, stay with plain, soft shades, without writing or patterns, for timeless photos. For the dad-to-be and the children, think light, coordinated tones in the same spirit.

Studio or outdoors

Both are possible, as you wish. In the studio, in a soft, cosy atmosphere, or out in nature in the golden light of late afternoon: forest, fields, sea or Jerusalem's most beautiful neighbourhoods. Together we choose the setting that feels like you.

Hair and make-up

Stay natural and luminous; it is what suits you best. Light make-up is more than enough, and if you enjoy it, slightly more polished styling is perfect for such a special session. Also think of neat nails and nicely styled hair, often highlighted in profile portraits.

Comfort and small details

Come comfortable and relaxed, and bring some water. Above all, think of good underwear: ideally skin-coloured, strapless or with discreet straps, and for the bottom, flat seams that do not mark the skin. Also avoid overly tight clothes just before the session, which sometimes leave small marks.

With whom?

The maternity session can be lived alone, as a couple, or as a family with the children awaiting the baby's arrival. Tell me what you would love, and we create images in your image.

The right mindset

This is the most important: come serene and trust me. There is no pose to get right; I guide you entirely, gesture after gesture, to reveal all your beauty as a mother-to-be. Simply let yourself be carried by the moment.

The weather

If it rains, no worries: we simply reschedule the session. And if the sky is cloudy, rejoice: a veiled sky gives magnificent, very soft light, a true dream for photographers.

After the session

You receive your private online gallery within two working weeks. Such precious images deserve a beautiful setting: a maternity album, a framed print… And why not extend the story with a newborn session, to welcome your baby in front of my lens very soon.
