Studio Maternity

Studio maternity photography in Birmingham offers a gorgeous, stress-free way to capture your pregnancy glow with timeless beauty. At Misty Dawn Photography, we specialize in creating elegant portraits that celebrate this incredible season of life — whether it’s your first baby or your fifth. If you’re curious what to expect from a studio session or how to prepare, this guide will help you feel confident and excited before your shoot.

What to Expect During Your Session

Personalized, Comfortable Experience
From the moment you arrive, our goal is to make you feel relaxed, supported, and beautiful. You won’t be rushed — instead, you’ll be gently guided through flattering poses and wrapped in soft, thoughtfully chosen fabrics or gowns that complement your body and style.

Elegant Studio Setting
Our studio is designed to feel calm and cozy, with natural light and simple, high-end sets that keep the focus on you. Whether you love bold colors or soft neutrals, we’ll tailor the backdrop to match the look you love most.

Partner or Family Involvement (Optional)
While many moms-to-be prefer solo portraits, you’re welcome to include your partner or children for a few images. These photos often become family favorites and add meaningful context to your maternity story.

How to Prepare for Your Studio Maternity Photos

Timing Your Session
We recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28 and 34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round but you’re still feeling relatively comfortable.

What to Wear
We offer a curated client closet of gowns designed to flatter your bump and photograph beautifully. You’re also welcome to bring something personal that makes you feel radiant. Think flowing dresses, fitted bodysuits, or soft fabrics with great texture. You can view our full selection of gowns in the client closet.

Hair and Makeup
Professional hair and makeup is included with our custom sessions and available to add on for other bookings. It’s a wonderful way to treat yourself and elevate your final images.

What to Bring
Bring anything you might need to feel comfortable. A robe or slippers if you’d like to slip into something cozy between setups. Nude underwear and strapless bras are very versatile for our gowns and fabrics.
