ABOUT OUR MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Life is everything, and a new life is the biggest miracle in the world!
Pregnancy is not only a hard and challenging time but also the most magical and unforgettable time in our lives. If it’s the most important time, then what else deserves more than this to be captured and be saved forever?
The first thing that makes maternity different from any other photography session is the fact that the mommy-to-be is not as mobile as she was before pregnancy. Keeping in mind that the maternity session is also about experience, we have to choose the location wisely. If you choose a studio session, we will drive to your place and set up our mobile mini-studio, so you even don’t have to walk out of your home!
In case you want an outdoor session, we will help you choose the right location.
Finally, what also makes difference in pictures is your outfit. Despite the fact, that you can use your everyday dress for all other occasions, the maternity session needs a special dress to make your pictures more stylish and bring the final product to a completely different level. We have a lot of rental companies nearby or we will help you choose a dress if you decide to buy one.
Lana & Aleks Photography is a real expert in our field. We will be with you on each preparation step, so your beautiful maternity time never stresses you out and brings just joy and great memory which you can see on your maternity pictures.
Please schedule a session ahead for the period of 30-34 weeks from the moment of your pregnancy. Partners and siblings are very welcome to participate in the session.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME IN MY PREGNANCY TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED?
The ideal time is between 30 - 34 weeks. At this stage of your pregnancy, you have a nice round bump but it is not yet too uncomfortable to get in some of the poses.
