MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY | CAPE TOWN MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
Maternity Photo shoots are there to celebrate you, the Mom, and the incredible work you did to make your little bundle of joy.
Do the words Maternity Photography scare you a little bit? Mom-to-be, that is ok. You are growing a human being inside your body: a rockstar, a superhero and an extraordinary woman to that little life inside you. That is why you should have a maternity photoshoot. Yes, capturing the memories of the bump is essential, but this maternity photography session is for you. Yes, You!
I remember being where you are right now, you’re probably sitting on the couch with your feet up, hair in a messy bun, Gaviscon to your left and a pregnancy-craving snack of Oreos and Niknaks (that was mine), and you feel like you are a hot mess. I have been there, and I understand completely, which is why I have considered all of this as your maternity photographer in Cape Town. I can travel in and around South Africa for all my clients, but I am based in Cape Town.
We can chat over email, WhatsApp or phone to plan your pregnancy photoshoot session. This is your session and your dream; I will make it happen for you.
How to book your maternity shoot
Booking your maternity shoot in advance is a good idea, this way you have time to prepare and get excited about your photography session. We booked all sessions between 33 and 38 weeks along, however, if you are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, please do get in touch with me sooner. High-risk pregnancies are the most unknown factor and rather have your photography session a little earlier than miss it completely should something unexpected happen. Obviously we hope not but it’s better to be safe and in winter in Cape Town, the weather is unpredictable too. Fortunately, as your photographer, I have a studio which can be our back up option if need be.
In the Photography To Remember Studio, we hold a selection of 20 Maternity dresses. A dress fitting consultation is scheduled 2 weeks prior to your session, this gives us time to find the perfect dress that flatters your bump and gives you time to plan your families outfits. Don’t worry, I will help you every step of the way. As a maternity photographer in Cape Town, I have a keen sense of colour combinations to help pull together your photography session that won’t be matchy but classy.
On the day of your shoot
On the day of your photoshoot, you must be ready for pampering and to see yourself in a way you probably haven’t since you found out you were pregnant. My very talented hair and makeup artist will be ready and waiting to pamper you pretty. My favourite moment in a maternity session is once you have your hair and makeup done, your dress is on and you come out of the changing room, the reaction of your partner is so priceless. Not too sure how to stand or where to look, don’t worry. As your maternity photographer, I will tell you what to do, where and how to stand and what angles will flatter your body, no matter what size you are. So moms, no matter what you are feeling right now, it is ok, I am here for you. You will never regret having the photos of that time you carried your baby for 9 months because remember, they are the only ones’ who knows, what your heartbeat sounds like from the inside.
If you are still trying to decide between a studio maternity photography or a maternity photography session on a location, have a look at the galleries below. They are both very unique and beautiful in their own way and style. You will soon feel which option will suit you and your family best.

Frequently Asked Questions
I hope to answer all your questions about your maternity shoot. From location ideas in and around Cape Town to choosing what to wear. If I don’t answer them here please feel free to contact me.
HOW MUCH ARE THE MATERNITY SHOOTS?
Maternity photography sessions can range between R2500 – R3800. The packages all depend on where the shoot will be and how many dresses you want to use. However, hair and makeup are on standby for your maternity shoot session.
WHEN SHOULD YOU BOOK YOUR MATERNITY SHOOT?
In all honesty, the sooner, the better. There are several reasons for this. First, your maternity photographer may have yet to have your due date available as they can be fully booked. You never know what can happen throughout the pregnancy. Let’s face it; pregnancy brain is real; you don’t want to get to 38 / 39 weeks along and suddenly remember to take maternity photographs professionally. Having it booked in advance will make sure you always remember.
HOW MANY PICTURES CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE FROM MY MATERNITY SESSION?
The number of images you receive from your photoshoot will entirely depend on your chosen package. For example, all my maternity photography packages include a guaranteed 20 images. But you are way more beautiful, and the connection between you and your partner is special. So I include only the best pictures; more than often, twenty-plus images are available in a session.
