maternity portrait session

Our studio is conveniently located on 1000 Parker Street, Suite 304 Vancouver, BC, easily reachable both by car and public transportation. If you are arriving by car, there is street parking around the building. 

It’s always a good idea to schedule your photoshoot as early as possible. While we occasionally accommodate last-minute requests, we recommend booking 8-10 weeks in advance. If you’re hoping for a weekend appointment, be sure to secure your date early, as Saturdays-Sundays tend to fill up fast!

The ideal time for a maternity photoshoot is between 27 and 33 weeks of pregnancy. However, the timing can vary for each woman. We recommend not waiting too long, as you can never predict exactly when your little one will decide to arrive!

Maternity session should be stress-free and all about celebrating you! That’s why I offer a beautifully curated wardrobe with a variety of styles to choose from, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. From flowing gowns to chic fitted pieces and Italian silk fabrics, there’s something perfect for every mom-to-be. This way, you can walk in, relax, and enjoy the experience — with outfits that make you look and feel amazing.

Of course! Your husband is more than welcome to join you for a few couple's pictures during the session. If you have older children, we’d be happy to take some family photos to celebrate this special moment in your life! If you’re bringing your child or children, we kindly suggest bringing someone along to help keep them entertained.

- Use moisturizer for your body for a few days, especially if your photo-shoot includes some nude or semi-nude photos.
-Get a manicure and a pedicure a day or two in advance.
-Don't wear tight underwear and clothing on the day of the session to prevent marks on your skin.
-Do not travel to the studio in the clothes in which you will be shooting. Wrinkles can ruin your look in the photographs.

Our goal is to ensure you feel more beautiful than ever before. That’s why you won’t have to worry about a thing. Professional photo retouching is included with your session, and we specialize in comprehensive, detailed editing. While our focus is on achieving a natural look, we’ll tailor the edits to match your preferences perfectly.

Not at all! Every maternity session is completely personalized to reflect your preferences and comfort level. Some clients opt for elegant and artistic nude portraits or draped fabrics, while others choose to stay fully clothed. The choice is entirely yours!

Liliya will guide you through every step of the process, showing you how to pose in a way to flatter your new curves and your figure so that you look your best. Even if this is your first time in front of camera, she will make you feel comfortable, at ease and make sure to give you a relaxed and fun experience. Our goal is to capture your inner strength and beauty through timeless works of art.

Your final images (digital files in high resolution + prints or Photo Box for Silver and Gold Photo Collections) will be ready within 3-4 weeks after the day of your session. 

Collection of photos includes high resolution digital files delivered via Dropbox or on studio USB (if your Photo Collection includes Prints or album). Unedited files (RAW or PSD) are not for sale and won’t be included in your collection. 
If you would like to have a bigger size of your images printed and display them on the walls in your house you can purchase them separately after your session. We will help you to create classy and elegant work of art for your home. 

Prices start at $1350 + 5% GST for a collection of 7 digital images and increase based on your selected package. Please note that prices are subject to change without notice. However, once you book and pay your deposit, you will be locked into the current rates for your session.

Payment for the selected Photo Collection is due on the day of your photoshoot. A 10% late fee will be added to invoices that are more than 3 days overdue.
