When M-M first reached out to me about doing a maternity photoshoot in Montreal, she admitted something that I hear more often than you’d think: “I wasn’t sure if I even wanted maternity photos. I didn’t want anything cheesy.”
It’s a totally fair hesitation. Many people associate maternity sessions with over-the-top poses, stiff smiles, or props that don’t feel true to who they are. But M-M told me that when she discovered my work, it felt different — natural, personal, and emotionally grounded. That’s what convinced her to go ahead and book the session: she saw herself reflected in the images I create.
That’s honestly the biggest compliment I can receive.
M-M and her partner welcomed me into their home for this session. There’s something so special about photographing people in their own space. Home is where you’re most comfortable — where you can just be yourself. That’s exactly what we wanted for this shoot: a relaxed, cozy session that reflected the real connection between them and the excitement of welcoming their baby.
The light in their home was beautiful that day — soft and natural, filtering through the windows just enough to wrap them in a gentle glow. We didn’t force anything. No awkward posing, no overused props — just the two of them interacting, laughing, cuddling on the couch, and soaking in the moment together.
And honestly? We laughed and chatted the whole way through — like old friends. That’s one of the things I love most about working with my clients: we usually get along so well that it doesn’t feel like work at all. It’s like we’re just hanging out, having fun, and creating meaningful memories at the same time. That kind of connection makes the whole experience even more special.
That was the core of what M-M said she appreciated after the session: that it felt real.
And that’s really the heart of every maternity photoshoot in Montreal I offer — I want you to see yourself in the images. Not a version of you that you don’t relate to, but the real, glowing, expecting you, full of love and anticipation.
It’s about creating a time capsule of this fleeting chapter — not just what it looked like, but what it felt like.
No two sessions are the same, because no two people are the same. Whether it’s a cozy at-home maternity shoot like this one, or a golden-hour stroll in the park, I always take the time to get to know my clients — their style, their energy, their story. From there, we build something that feels like them.
M-M’s session was a beautiful reminder that maternity photos can be anything but cheesy. They can be warm, intimate, down-to-earth, and honest. They can celebrate your story exactly as it is.
If you’re expecting and wondering whether a maternity photoshoot is right for you — especially if you’re worried about it feeling inauthentic — I get it. But I promise, we can make something meaningful together. Something that feels you.
Whether it’s in the comfort of your home or another location that’s special to you, I’d love to help you preserve this chapter in a way that feels natural, effortless, and beautiful.
Let’s create something real.
