01

Why maternity photography is so meaningful

Many women look back and wish they had taken more photographs during pregnancy. A professional photoshoot helps you not just remember this chapter, but relive its emotions when you look at the images later.

Maternity photography is about more than a beautiful bump. It captures your strength, tenderness, anticipation and bond with your baby. These photographs will also become precious to your partner, your family and your child.

A good maternity portrait shows not only how you looked, but also how special this time felt.

02

You don’t need to be a model

We offer calm, clear guidance so that posing never needs to feel forced or awkward.

Many women hesitate to book a maternity photoshoot because they worry they won’t know how to pose. That is completely normal. At Jaweed Studio, you don’t need any modelling experience. We guide you gently and clearly, step by step.

During the photoshoot, we pay attention to your posture, hands, expression, lighting and composition. This creates natural, flattering images without anything feeling forced. Our aim is for you to recognise yourself in your photographs, looking your most beautiful, elegant and relaxed.

Guidance with posing

We guide you step by step, paying attention to your posture, hands, expression and the natural shape of your bump.

Professional lighting

We tailor the lighting to your skin tone, clothing and the mood you want to create.

Calm and privacy

Our private studio gives you space to settle in, take breaks and change outfits without feeling rushed.

A natural look

The aim is for you to look like yourself: elegant and polished, but never unnatural.

A calm, private experience

Time to feel comfortable

Comfort matters to many expectant mothers. That is why we provide a calm, safe and private studio environment. You can change outfits at your own pace, take a break whenever you need one and enjoy an unhurried session.

Personal attention

A relaxed pace

This makes the experience relaxing, especially if you are not used to being in front of the camera. We take the time to capture you looking beautiful, natural and confident.

03

In the studio or outdoors in Ghent?

Both settings can produce beautiful images. The studio offers control, privacy and peace of mind, while an outdoor shoot brings spontaneity and a natural, seasonal atmosphere.

When is the best time to book your photoshoot?

For most pregnancies, the most comfortable time is between 28 and 34 weeks.

Weeks 28–34

Your bump is beautifully visible

At this stage, your bump has a lovely round shape, while moving and posing usually still feel comfortable.

Planning an earlier session

Twins or a possible early arrival

If you are expecting twins or there is a chance your baby may arrive early, we recommend booking your session for a little earlier in your pregnancy.

The best time for maternity photography is usually between 28 and 34 weeks. Your bump is beautifully visible at this stage, and many women still feel comfortable enough for a session.

If you are expecting twins or there is a chance of an early birth, it is often better to plan your session a little earlier. Try not to leave it until the last minute. Booking in good time gives you more choice of dates and allows us to prepare your session without rushing.

Check availability or call Jaweed Studio for personalised advice.

05

Stress-free clothing and preparation

Choose soft, understated colours

White, cream, beige, sand, light brown and soft pastels create a calm, elegant look. Avoid large logos and busy patterns.

Bring more than one outfit

A fitted dress, soft fabric, long skirt or simple blouse can beautifully highlight your bump. A second outfit adds variety if the length of your session allows.

Discuss your style beforehand

Share your preferences and any inspiration in advance. This helps us coordinate the background, lighting and clothing.

Choose clothing that drapes well and naturally highlights your bump. Keep accessories simple and elegant, and make sure you get plenty of rest before your session. The right clothing makes a real difference to the final images.

06

Photographs with your partner and children

Your maternity photoshoot can focus entirely on you, but your partner and older children are welcome to join in too. This often makes the photographs even more personal and meaningful.

For example, we might begin with elegant portraits of you on your own, then create warm family photographs: hands resting on your bump, a gentle embrace or a spontaneous moment with your child.

Children do not need to sit still for long. We allow time for movement, short breaks and spontaneous reactions, keeping the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Your photoshoot becomes not just a portrait of your pregnancy, but also a keepsake of your family and the time you spent waiting for your baby together.

08

Natural retouching and clear pricing

At Jaweed Studio, we believe maternity photographs should still look beautiful years from now. That is why we choose elegant, timeless editing rather than heavy filters or unnatural retouching.

We refine the lighting, colour, contrast and small details while preserving natural skin texture. This keeps your photographs professional, elegant and true to you.

The price of a maternity photoshoot depends on your chosen package, the number of professionally edited photographs and the style of session you would like. Some clients choose a short, minimalist studio photoshoot, while others prefer more variety with several outfits, photographs with their partner or images with their children.
