Every pose, angle and detail is directed — so you never spend the hour wondering how you look.
Book Your SessionSessions from $325 · Ideal window 28–34 weeks
Maternity sessions are the most personal work we do. There is something particular about photographing the strength and anticipation of this stage, while it is still happening.
The approach is guided and deliberate. Vithu directs every pose, every angle and every detail, so you never have to wonder whether you look alright. You just get to feel it.
Sessions run in studio at Mint Room Studios, outdoors across Toronto and the GTA, or in your own home.
Start Planning
The ideal window is between 28 and 34 weeks — when the bump is beautifully defined and you are still comfortable enough to enjoy the session. Every pregnancy is different, though, so we tailor the timing to you.
For documenting the beginning. Subtle bumps photograph beautifully too, and this suits anyone wanting a series across more than one trimester.
Carrying multiples? This is the recommended window — the bump is full and you are still comfortable. We keep the session relaxed and work with your energy.
The most booked timeframe by a distance. The bump is beautifully round, you still have mobility and energy, and the light catches every curve.
Past 34 weeks? It is not too late. Get in touch and we will find the right approach for your body and your timeline.
We know the session is about her — but you are part of this story too. You do not need to be comfortable in front of a camera. We direct every pose, every hand placement, every look. All you have to do is turn up and hold her the way you already do.
Most partners walk in nervous and walk out saying it was one of the better hours they have spent together.
This is not a rushed thirty minutes. It is a guided experience, from the moment you enquire to the moment your finished portraits arrive.
We start with a conversation — your aesthetic, your comfort level, who you would like to include. We settle location and the overall feel so that every detail is deliberate.
Guided, unhurried and entirely yours. In studio or outdoors, we direct every pose and cover every angle. Bring your partner. Bring your children. Bring the dog. We make room for all of it.
One week after your session your gallery is ready, and we walk you through it — helping you choose your favourites and talking through print and album options if you want them.
Every location brings something different to a portrait. We will help you choose the one that feels right.
Not sure which suits you? We’ll talk it through at your consultation and match the setting to what you have in mind.
A maternity session is more than time in front of a camera. It includes a consultation beforehand, fully guided posing and direction throughout, and a walkthrough of your gallery once it is ready.
$325 outdoors or in your home, $350 in studio. Every family’s order looks different — some choose a single piece for the wall, others build an album and print collection. We’ll walk you through the options so you can choose what suits your home and your budget.
Request the Full Pricing GuideBetween 28 and 34 weeks for most people, when the bump is beautifully defined and you are still comfortable. Every pregnancy is different — if you are carrying twins, aim for 24 to 28 weeks, and if you are past 34 weeks get in touch anyway and we will work with your timeline.
As early as your second trimester if you want a particular date or location. Four to six weeks ahead is comfortable most of the year; spring and autumn fill faster than that.
Yes, and we encourage it. We give part of the session to family portraits and part to solo portraits of you. If you have a toddler we keep things relaxed and work with their energy rather than against it. Pets are welcome too.
You do not need to be — that is our job. We direct every pose, every angle and every expression. Clients routinely tell us they have never felt better about photographs of themselves, and most of them were thinking exactly what you are thinking now before they booked.
Yes, and it is worth planning them in advance. After booking we send a detailed styling guide covering colours, fabrics and silhouettes that photograph well at this stage. Bring two or three options so we have flexibility on the day. Flowing fabrics, soft neutrals and fitted pieces that celebrate the bump all work beautifully.
We recommend it. Professional hair and makeup makes a noticeable difference to how you feel during the session, and that confidence shows in the photographs. If you do not have someone, we can recommend an artist.
We reschedule — no fee, no stress. We watch the forecast and will be in touch in advance if conditions look poor. If rain is a possibility we can either move to the next available date or shift indoors to Mint Room Studios.
Rather than hundreds of unedited files, you get a curated gallery of 30 to 40 finished images. Every one is individually retouched and colour-graded.
Your gallery is ready one week after your session. If you order prints or an album, those follow separately once you have made your selections.
This chapter is brief and extraordinary. Let’s make sure you remember exactly how it felt.
