MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Maternity Portraits with a Personal Approach
Every session is approached individually. We’ll choose outfits and styling together, and I’ll guide you through posing and take care of the details throughout the shoot. You don’t need to know how to pose or have any experience in front of the camera. The aim is for you to feel comfortable and relaxed and to create photographs that feel like you.
A Session Tailored to You
Every pregnancy is different, so no two sessions are exactly the same.
We can create simple, elegant portraits, soft and romantic images, or something a little bolder and more creative – depending on what feels right for you.
Throughout the session, we’ll work with different outfits, backdrops, lighting and poses to create a varied collection of images.
Partners and older children are also welcome to join for part of the session.
You Don’t Need to Know How to Pose
Most women I photograph have little or no experience in front of the camera – and you don’t need any. Throughout the session, I’ll guide you with your posture, hands and expression and show you poses that naturally flatter your pregnancy.
The aim isn’t to “know how to pose”, but to feel comfortable and create photographs in which you feel confident and look like yourself.
What to Wear
The studio has a carefully selected collection of maternity dresses and flowing fabrics for you to use during your session.
There’s no limit on outfit changes – we’ll adapt them to how you’re feeling, your preferences and the look we want to create.
I also recommend bringing a few of your own favourite pieces. These could include jeans, a fitted dress, an oversized shirt, a soft jumper or a blazer worn open.
Combining pieces from the studio with your own wardrobe allows us to create a varied collection of images that feels both personal and unique.
When Is the Best Time for a Maternity Session?
I usually recommend scheduling your maternity session between 29 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your bump is beautifully defined, while most mums-to-be still feel comfortable enough for the session.
Of course, every pregnancy is different and there’s no strict rule. I’ve photographed expectant mums just a few days before giving birth, so don’t worry if you think you’ve left it too late.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the session take place?
The session takes place at the Iza Objektiva studio in Markuševec, Zagreb.
How long does the session take?
Depending on the package you choose and the number of outfit changes, the session usually lasts around 60–90 minutes. There’s no rush, and we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. I’ll guide you throughout the session and help you with poses, positioning and angles that work best for you.
Can my partner and children join the session?
Yes. Partners and older children are very welcome and can join you for part of the session.
Can I bring my pet?
Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to accommodate pets in the studio.
Can I use the maternity dresses in the studio?
Yes. The studio has a collection of maternity dresses and flowing fabrics available for you to use during your session.
What should I bring to the session?
Along with any favourite outfits you’d like to wear, I recommend bringing a set of black underwear and a set of nude underwear. Shoes aren’t necessary, as most photographs are taken barefoot. If you’d like to include heels for a more elegant look, feel free to bring your favourite pair.
What should my partner bring?
I recommend simple outfits that complement your styling. A plain T-shirt and shirt in neutral colours work well, paired with jeans or plain trousers.
How do I choose my photographs?
After the session, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery where you can select the photographs you’d like me to professionally edit and retouch.
Can I choose more photographs than are included in my package?
Yes. If you’d like additional images, professionally edited photographs can be purchased for €15 each.
Will I receive the unedited photographs?
Unedited photographs are not provided. All the images you select are professionally edited and retouched and delivered in high resolution, in both colour and black and white.
How do I book a session?
You can book your session using the contact form, by phone or by email. I recommend getting in touch in advance so we can find a date that falls within the ideal stage of your pregnancy.
