Maternity Gallery


Pregnancy is fleeting — a season that deserves to be honored, not rushed past. At Gricel's Photography, maternity sessions are designed to help you feel radiant, supported, and fully present in this chapter, whether you're drawn to soft studio elegance or a more dramatic, editorial style. Each session begins with a consultation to talk through wardrobe, mood, and what this pregnancy means to you, so the final images feel personal rather than generic.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my maternity session?

Most clients book between 28–34 weeks, when the belly is full but you're still comfortable moving through poses. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead is recommended to secure your preferred date.

What should I wear?

Flowing dresses, fitted basics, and layered fabrics all photograph beautifully. Full styling guidance is provided after booking with access to our client wardrobe collection, and complimentary makeup is available for studio sessions.

Can we include our other children or partner?

Absolutely — many of the most meaningful images from a maternity session include the whole family.
