Maternity Photography in Ottawa
Maternity photography is about documenting a season of change—quiet, meaningful, and fleeting. As an Ottawa maternity photographer, I focus on creating natural, timeless images that feel honest to where you are right now, without over-posing or forced moments.
These sessions are relaxed and centered around you. Whether you prefer something simple and understated or a location that feels meaningful, the goal is to create photographs that feel true to you and this moment in your life.

Maternity photography sessions include:
A one hour photo session with one photographer
Carefully edited, high-resolution images

Digital files with personal print rights
Partner and older children are always welcome to join the session.

Maternity Photography FAQs
When should I book my maternity session?
Maternity photography sessions are typically scheduled between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is visible and you’re still comfortable moving around. Booking earlier helps ensure availability and gives us time to plan a session that feels relaxed and intentional. It also gives us time to rebook if the session is held outdoors and the weather is poor.
If you’re unsure about timing, I’m happy to help guide you.
What time of day is best for a maternity photography session?
Most maternity sessions are scheduled around golden hour, the hour before sunset, when the light is soft, warm, and flattering. Golden hour creates natural, timeless images and allows for a relaxed pace. If golden hour isn’t possible, I’ll recommend an alternative time and location with beautiful light.
Do you offer a client closet for maternity sessions?
Yes. A small client closet is available to maternity photography clients and includes a curated selection of neutral, timeless pieces designed to photograph beautifully. You’re also welcome to wear your own clothing, and I’m happy to offer guidance on styling to ensure everything feels cohesive and comfortable.
