Maternity Photography in Geneva FAQ
Embracing the beauty of pregnancy is an incredibly special experience, and my recent maternity photoshoot was an absolute joy. Working with Helen was an amazing journey, capturing those precious moments of anticipation and excitement.
The entire session was filled with warmth, professionalism, and a deep understanding of what I wanted to express. Helen made the experience effortless and enjoyable, turning those moments into timeless snapshots that I'll forever treasure.
A warm, natural approach
My work is rooted in fine-art portraiture, using warm tones and carefully shaped lighting that reflects the softness of natural light.
Rather than relying on trends or heavy styling, I focus on your beautiful pregnant form and the connection between you and your baby.
When should I book my maternity session?
The timing is important. You want to schedule your photoshoot when your bump is nice and round for your portraits. The ideal time is between 28-34 weeks pregnant, (about 7-8 months into pregnancy).
If you’re carrying multiples or have a high-risk pregnancy, we may schedule earlier to ensure we capture this special time before the baby arrives.
Why 7-8 months is the sweet spot
Bump Visibility:
Your belly is beautifully pronounced
Comfort level:
You still have energy for poses and movement
Flexibility for Rescheduling:
If baby decides to come early, we’ll still have captured your glow
Can we do some draped nude pregnancy portraits?
Yes—I have some beautiful tulle to drape over your body in white, gold and bronze.
How do we decide what I am going to wear?
I found out what colours best suit your skin and what kind of poses you would like to do.
You are free to come over to choose the dress and your favourite shade of tulle to drape over you, before your photoshoot.
You can also bring your own outfit and we will choose the final selection together so that I can plan your photoshoot in advance.
Can I include my partner for my Maternity photoshoot?
Absolutely! It takes two to make a baby so it's only fair to include your partner on the shoot.
As you can see, I love to show as much skin as possible as this is all about this baby growing inside of you. But if you are not comfortable with this, no problem, I plan each photoshoot around you and your desires.
Can we do the photoshoot in nature?
Sure you can! If you would like to do your shoot in the countryside, this is possible but you need to have enough energy to be comfortable doing this.
Can I include my daughter or son in my pregnancy photos?
Of course, I encourage families to get siblings to participate in your photoshoot. Getting your older children involved will help make them bond deeper with your baby.
Can we include my family in my Maternity photoshoot?
Yes— absolutely!
I would treat the photoshoot as a family - maternity session.
Planning for the end result
This is an often-overlooked point, but nevertheless, extremely important.
It is wise to think about what you want to do with your photos before you create them.
