Maternity & Pregnancy Photoshoot in Paris

Expecting a baby and in Paris, or living here? A maternity photoshoot is a lovely way to keep this chapter. I'm Max, a Paris photographer with over 10 years of experience, and I've photographed many maternity sessions. I guide you from the first pose to the last, so you can simply enjoy the moment while I take care of the rest. You receive a private online gallery with your edited photos.

A pregnancy photoshoot at any stage

There is no perfect week for a pregnancy photoshoot: it works at every stage. Later in the pregnancy your bump is easy to see and the poses come naturally. Earlier on, a few small details tell the story: bring baby shoes, an ultrasound picture or a tiny bodysuit and we'll build the photos around them. Either way, I direct the poses, so you don't need any experience in front of a camera.

Include your partner or your family

Your partner, your children or the whole family are very welcome. In that case the session is booked as a couple or family photoshoot, and it works very well as a pregnancy session too: portraits of you, photos together and a few family pictures in one visit. Looking at a bigger group? Contact me with your plans and I'll suggest the best format.

Where to shoot your maternity photos in Paris

The Eiffel Tower area is the classic choice, with Trocadéro and Bir-Hakeim close by. We can also shoot along the Seine, at the Louvre and Palais Royal, in the Tuileries and Paris gardens, or in Montmartre. You prefer something more private? We can shoot indoors, for example in your hotel room. Not sure? Tell me your dates and I'll suggest the best place and time of day. I recommend early morning: fewer tourists around the landmarks and softer light.

Booking and prices

Duration, number of edited photos and prices are on the prices page, and you book directly there. A 50 € deposit is paid at booking. Would you like a dress for the photos? I work with a company that can provide dresses.

Questions about maternity photoshoots in Paris

Which week of pregnancy is best?

Any week works. A later stage shows the bump more; earlier on we use small details such as baby shoes or an ultrasound picture.

Can my partner or children join?

Yes. It becomes a couple or family session, which also works as a pregnancy session.

Can we shoot in a hotel?

Yes. We can shoot in your hotel as well as outdoors.

Do I need to know how to pose?

No. I guide you throughout, with natural poses that suit you.

What if the weather is bad?

I first try to reschedule to another time or day. A refund is only possible if rescheduling does not work.

How do I get my photos?

You receive a private online gallery with your edited photos. From there you can choose extra photos if you wish.

Is this the same as a gender reveal?

Not exactly. If you want to announce the sex of your baby, see my gender reveal photoshoot page.
