Celebrate the Beauty of Motherhood


Pregnancy is magical time, filled with anticipation, joy, and excitement. My maternity photography sessions are designed to capture the glow of this special moment, preserving these memories for you to cherish forever.

With a focus on the natural beauty of pregnancy, my sessions are tailored to create timeless portraits that celebrate your journey into motherhood.

HOW IT WORKS

Magda O Photography - Your Maternity Photographer in Gloucestershire

  • To book your Maternity Photography Session I ask for £99 deposit – this secures your space in my diary.

  • I recommend booking your session date between 26 and 34 weeks of pregnancy ideally (although 28 weeks to 36 weeks is fine).

  • All Maternity Photography Sessions take place at my studio in Cheltenham (Gloucestershire) or on location if that’s what you prefer.

  • Once the deposit is received, we will schedule a consultation call via FaceTime or Zoom so we can have a little chat about your session.

  • You don’t need to decide which package you would like to purchase until your viewing and ordering appointment when your photos are ready.

FAQ

  • Why Are Pregnancy Photos So Important?

    Pregnancy is a fleeting, transformative journey, and it’s easy to forget just how much your body has changed and evolved over the months. Maternity photos help freeze these moments in time, creating lasting memories you’ll treasure forever. These images will one day remind you—and your child—of the love and anticipation that filled your heart before you even met them. It’s a way to celebrate not just the arrival of your baby, but also the strength, beauty, and grace of your body as it nurtures new life.

  • Do I Need to Bring Anything to My Maternity Photoshoot?

    While we provide a range of beautiful gowns, fabrics, and props designed to highlight your baby bump and make you feel radiant, you’re welcome to bring a few personal items to make your session even more special. Here are some things you might consider bringing: - Outfits: If you have a favorite dress or an outfit that makes you feel amazing, feel free to bring it! Think about flowy dresses, form-fitting tops, or anything that showcases your belly. - Sentimental Items: Some moms love incorporating personal touches, like baby shoes, ultrasound photos, or a special piece of jewelry.

  • Can My Partner, my Child or pets Be Involved in the Maternity Photoshoot?

    Absolutely! Including your partner, children or pets in your maternity photoshoot is a beautiful way to capture the love, connection, and excitement as you all prepare for the arrival of your newest family member. These moments are about celebrating not just your pregnancy, but the bond between your growing family. I encourage your partner to join in for a few intimate shots, whether it’s cradling your baby bump, sharing a loving embrace, or simply being by your side. If you have other children, we can also create some playful, tender moments to showcase their excitement about becoming a big brother or sister. Together, we’ll capture the joy and anticipation your family feels as you await your little one. Your maternity photos will not only reflect the beauty of your pregnancy but also the special relationships and memories surrounding this magical time.

Where do I begin? Magda is not only a truly talented photographer but she is also a warm, fun and caring person. I first met Magda when she took my maternity photographs. Magda took us on an adventurous photoshoot throughout the Cotswolds flower fields and magical Broadway Tower. The photos came out incredible!! I will cherish those photos forever. I also had my newborn photoshoot with Magda. Magda came to our house and the entire process of making memories was relaxed and fun. Looking at my photos brings me back to that moment holding my one week son. It was such a peaceful feeling that I forgot we were taking pictures. Since then I have had two Christmas photoshoots with Magda and a Mother’s Day photoshoot as well. Our family see Magda as a friend. We are grateful to have met her and to make beautiful memories through her photographs. I highly recommend Magda for all of your photography needs.
