PREGNANCY SESSIONS.
THE WAIT IS PART OF THE STORY TOO.
Pregnancy is a time of waiting, of excitement, and of small moments that often pass by too quickly.
More than photographing a belly, I seek to tell the story of this very special chapter: the looks, the hands that caress, the shared smiles and that love that already exists long before the first hug.
My sessions are relaxed and natural. You don't need to know how to pose or worry about doing it "right." Just be present, enjoy the moment, and let everything unfold naturally.
Because one day, when that baby has grown up, these images will remind us how it all began.
THE WAIT IS ALSO PART OF THE STORY.
THE EXPERIENCE.
Pregnancy sessions are designed for you to enjoy this moment!
We meet at sunset, when the light is softer and the landscape complements the scene without stealing the show. We walk, we talk, we breathe deeply, and we let everything flow naturally. There's no rush, no list of poses to strike.
If your partner comes along, we'll look for those spontaneous gestures that speak volumes: a look, a smile, a hand on your belly, a hug. If there are older siblings, they'll be part of the story too. We'll invite them to play, to hug you, to talk to the baby, or simply to be themselves.
Throughout the session, I guide them with small suggestions, but never striving for forced perfection. The most important thing is that they feel comfortable, connected, and present.
My goal is that, in addition to taking home photographs they'll treasure forever, they remember that afternoon as a moment spent with their family. Because the most precious images are born when we stop thinking about the camera and simply enjoy being together.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION.
When is the best time to hold the session?
Ideally, you should do it between weeks 28 and 34 of pregnancy. At that point, your belly will already be quite large, and you'll generally still feel comfortable walking and enjoying the experience.
What time are the sessions?
I always photograph near sunset, when the sun is low, very close to the horizon. That warm, soft light is what gives the photographs the natural and timeless atmosphere that characterizes onedrop.
Where are they held?
The sessions take place outdoors, in locations I carefully select for their beautiful sunsets, tranquility, and natural surroundings. My goal is for you to relax, enjoy the moment, and connect without distractions.
Who can participate?
This session is designed to be shared with those who are already part of this story. Your partner, children, or even your pet are more than welcome.
What clothes do we recommend?
Before the session, you'll receive a guide with wardrobe recommendations to help you choose comfortable clothing in colors that harmonize with the landscape and the sunset light. The goal is for the photographs to feel natural, elegant, and timeless.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
If the weather doesn't provide ideal conditions, we'll reschedule the session. Light and surroundings are a crucial part of the experience, and it's worth waiting for the perfect moment.
What if we get a cloudy day and we have no option to change the date?
We don't necessarily have to cancel. Cloudy days can offer beautiful, soft light for photos and also give us more flexibility with scheduling. In those cases, we'll choose the best location together, depending on the weather, generally avoiding overly open landscapes if it's a very gray day.
If you want to know more, on the blog I explain how I work sessions on cloudy days and what options we have when they are on vacation for a few days.

A MEMORY THAT WILL GROW WITH YOU!
Today you may feel that there are weeks left until you meet your baby.
But one day you'll look at these photographs with him or her sitting next to you. You'll show him or her how you both waited for him or her, how you were already talking to him or her, how you imagined him or her, and how much love there was even before you saw him or her for the first time.
That's what excites me most about photographing a pregnancy.
Creating memories that are beautiful today, but that become even more valuable over the years.
EVERY STORY HAS A BEGINNING.
What a privilege to be able to remember it forever.
