Pregnancy is such a special journey, and maternity photography allows you to celebrate and preserve this incredible chapter of your life. One of the first decisions you’ll make when booking your session with Maya D Photography is whether you’d prefer an outdoor maternity session or an in-studio maternity session. Both options create stunning portraits, but they offer very different styles and experiences. Let’s explore the benefits of each so you can decide which is right for you.


🌿 Outdoor Maternity Photos

Why choose outdoors?
Outdoor sessions give you the beauty of natural light, seasonal colors, and wide-open backdrops that tell your story in an organic way.

Pros of Outdoor Maternity Sessions:

  • Scenic variety: Parks, fields, bridges, and rustic areas make each gallery unique.
  • Golden hour glow: Sunset light creates warm, dreamy images.
  • Seasonal charm: From spring blooms to fall foliage, each season adds personality to your photos.
  • Family-friendly: Kids and partners often feel more relaxed outdoors.

Best for you if…
You love natural, airy photos and want to showcase your pregnancy in connection with the outdoors.


🖼 Studio Maternity Photos

Why choose the studio?
Studio sessions give you a timeless, intimate feel with full control over lighting and styling.

Pros of Studio Maternity Sessions:

  • Controlled environment: Weather isn’t a factor, so your session is never rescheduled.
  • Variety of looks: Elegant gowns, draped fabrics, or simple timeless outfits can all be highlighted with professional lighting.
  • Privacy & comfort: Perfect for moms who want a relaxed space without distractions.
  • Creative styling: Backdrops, lighting setups, and props make your session fully customized.

Best for you if…
You prefer a classic, styled look or want an intimate, cozy atmosphere for your maternity portraits.


🌟 Can’t Decide? Do Both!

Many moms choose to split their maternity session between studio and outdoors for the best of both worlds. This way, you’ll get a collection of timeless, classic portraits as well as fun, scenic photos with natural light.
