"You're my reminder that
the universe can create beautiful things."
I absolutely LOVE maternity sessions. I believe whole heartedly in the beauty of your motherhood journey needs to be celebrated. It is remarkable and beautiful and you are radient, glowing anf fierce. You are creating life, is there anything more awesome than that!?
From the moment you reach out, I want to learn about your motherhood journey and the story you want to tell through photographs. My maternity sessions are designed to be relaxed and fun, and are typically done around 24-30 weeks so that you are far enough along to have an amazingly full belly but still able to move around easily during the session.
Your Session can take place either in studio, the comfort and privacy of your own home, or on-location depending on the vision you have. Studio and in-home sessions offer a more intimate experience, with the abillity to do more risque poses, and wear more revealing undergarments. If this is not your style, an indoor environment is also a great setting for a cozy and connected, lifestyle session with your partner and/or family. If you prefer an on-location session, we will work together to determine the best location based on the vision you have in mind. We can do anything from an open grassy field, an urban setting such as your favourite coffee shop, go explore the city or we can go spend time by the water watching a sunset – whatever you like! The possibilities are endless.
"Maternity is a chapter, where each day brings a deeper connection and the anticipation of a life that will soon change yours forever."
Pregnancy and gender reveal add on's available for each maternity collection
INQUIRE HEREMaternity sessions are typically done around 24-30 weeks so I usually recommend booking within your 1st trimester to make sure you are guaranteed a date as they can go quite fast.
The booking process is straightforward and easy! To officially reserve your maternity shoot, all that’s required is a signed contract and a retainer. Once that's in place, we can dive right into planning your session!
Of course! All of my clients receive a comprehensive Maternity Guide designed to simplify the planning process and ensure everything runs smoothly on your shoot. The guide includes valuable information and a comprehensive questionnaire that helps you organize key details, ensuring that no important aspect is overlooked. I’ve tailored this guide to cover all the essential elements, so you can feel confident in your planning and more relaxed as the day approaches. Additionally, I’m always just an email or phone call away to assist with any logistics, answer questions, or offer advice. Whether you need help coordinating locations and outfits, I’m here to provide guidance every step of the way, so you can focus on enjoying the experience!
Portrait sessions are available Monday to Friday. When it comes to outdoor sessions, I always aim to shoot during the last two hours of daylight—this is when the sun is perfectly positioned in the sky, creating that beautiful, warm, sun-kissed glow that elevates your photos. This "golden hour" lighting adds a soft, natural radiance and avoids the harsh shadows and overly bright, neon-like effects that can occur when shooting in the middle of the day. For in-home or studio sessions, timing is more flexible, as the controlled environment allows us to shoot at any time of day with optimal results. This flexibility ensures we can capture your portraits in the most flattering and natural light, no matter the setting.
My approach to photography is all about capturing authentic, natural moments that reflect who you truly are. Instead of directing stiff, posed shots, I use gentle prompts to guide you into movements and interactions that feel real and effortless. This way, you’re not just “posing for the camera,” but living in the moment, allowing your true personalities and connection to shine through. Whether it’s playful laughter, a quiet embrace, or a candid exchange, I want your photos to feel like you. By focusing on these genuine interactions, I ensure your images reflect the emotions and energy of the day, resulting in a collection that is as unique and personal as your story.
Yes absolutely. This is definitely encouraged, I think your photos should live in picture frames on your nightstand and adorn your walls. I recommend printing through a professional lab for best resuts (Pikto is local in Canada as is Posterjack - they are both great quality) I recommend turning off "auto enchance" as your images are already enchanced for printing.
Absolutely! Images naturally lend themselves to black and white, as this can enhance the emotion and timelessness of certain moments. You will receive both colour and black and white versions of each image.
Absolutely, there are your photos. Share away, whether on Social Media, print or giving them to friends and family as gifts.
That usually depends on the type of session as well as any travel involved with locations. I usually recommend setting aside 1.5 - 2 hours for our session. I love to take the time to connect with you during the shoot and there is nothing worse than being in a hurry.
Absa-freakin-lutely! All are welcome here. Love is freaking LOVE and it all deserves to be celebrated.
I’m based in Barrie, but I primarily shoot sessions throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Whether you're looking for a shoot in the vibrant cityscape, a serene park, or a cozy indoor setting, I'm excited to explore the diverse locations the GTA has to offer. I love capturing the unique beauty of each setting and am more than happy to travel within the area to make your session special. So, feel free to reach out, and let’s plan a fantastic shoot that truly reflects your style and personality!
"I wish I could give 10 stars! Her photography talents go beyond anything I have ever seen. I still cannot believe how she transformed a simple field and a very swollen pregnant woman, plus a very awkward man, into something so beautiful. I still look at these photos very often, and each time I do, I am stunned that those are our photos. Truly magazine worthy. Don’t look any further if you need photos done. It’s these moments we don’t get back, and I am so glad that Beata captured them from her creative point of view."
