Maternity photography is a beautiful way to remember the anticipation before your little one arrives. At Ludere Studio, we create elegant, timeless maternity portraits for expectant parents from Bournemouth, Poole and across Dorset in a calm, private and beautifully designed studio environment.
Your maternity session is designed to feel calm, flattering and personal. Whether you prefer soft, understated portraits or something more editorial, we will guide you throughout, so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
The focus is on creating images that feel refined, natural and true to this remarkable chapter.
Our Portrait Studio provides a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax throughout your session. With professional lighting, elegant surroundings, a five metre infinity wall and timeless studio backdrops, we create maternity portraits that feel considered, refined and personal to you.
Partners and children can also be included, creating portraits that connect this chapter with the next.
Maternity portraits are often most beautiful when photographed between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you still feel comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.
We will help with guidance on clothing, styling and posing so the session feels relaxed from beginning to end.
Your maternity portrait session at Ludere Studio is £195 and includes your time in our purpose built Portrait Studio, careful guidance throughout your session and your private Viewing and Ordering Appointment.
Around one to two weeks after your session, you will return to Ludere Studio to see your finished portraits for the first time. From there, you can choose how you would like to enjoy your photographs, whether through handcrafted wall art, beautifully bound albums, fine art prints or digital image collections. Products and digital image collections are purchased separately, with collections available from £495.
Whether you are celebrating your first pregnancy or growing your family, we would be delighted to welcome you to Ludere Studio.
