Everything you need to know abour our Maternity sessions

What makes LiMia Photography special for maternity sessions?

  • At LiMia Photography, we offer elegant, magazine-style studio portraits in Brackenfell, Cape Town. With over 8 years of experience, we create a calm, empowering space and provide flattering poses, soft lighting, and a curated wardrobe designed to make you feel radiant.

When is the best time to have a Maternity session?

  • We recommend having your maternity session between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. (Book early)

Here’s why:

  • Your baby bump will be beautifully round and visible in photos
  • You’ll likely still feel comfortable enough to move and pose with ease and get in and out of dresses.
  • It gives enough time to reschedule if needed.
  • If you're expecting twins or have a high-risk pregnancy, consider booking a bit earlier — around 26 to 30 weeks just in case your little ones arrive sooner than expected.

What does the maternity wardrobe include?

Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive a preview of our studio wardrobe.

Choose from:

  • Fitted maternity gowns
  • Flowing fabrics and draped looks
  • Accessories & Crowns
  • You'll screenshot 3–4 favorites and try them on in-studio.
  • You’re welcome to change your mind on the day — we’ll help guide you to the most flattering look for your shape and style.

Is hair and makeup included?

No, hair and makeup are not provided, but we’re happy to recommend trusted artists close to our studio location.

Can I include my partner or children?

Yes! You can either do anyone of our session on your own if you prefer more images, or you can include your partner/children on the relevant packages offered.

  • Maximum 2 kids
  • No outfits provided for partners/children
  • Only 1 Outfit for partners/children
