Maternity Photo Session in Copenhagen

I met this lovely couple at the beginning of February for a Maternity photoshoot in Copenhagen. We met at their flat as this was a cold February morning. I love going to people’s homes to photograph them in their “natural habitat.” Finding those corners in the house that I think would be great for photos, moving things around, framing shots with plants and doors, basically using whatever resources we have in their home. And sometimes, you’re surprised with the cutest pets, as you can see in these Maternity photos. Dina, their cat, welcomed me as soon as I got there, but she wasn’t very excited about participating in this Maternity photoshoot.

When should I schedule my Maternity Photo Session?

Ines was 36 weeks pregnant when we shot these. I usually recommend scheduling your maternity session in your third trimester, between 30 and 36 weeks. This will result in the most flattering images as your tummy is visibly round, but not so heavy that you feel too uncomfortable. Don’t leave your maternity photo shoot for a later stage. If your baby decides to arrive early, you run the risk of missing out on capturing your baby bump.
