pregnancy photo session in Copenhagen

“when a baby is born, so is a mother”.

People say, when a baby is born, so is a mother. When I go to people’s houses for a maternity photo session, I always like to know how these mothers-to-be are feeling, what their expectations are and how they imagine motherhood. The vast majority of women I meet working as a maternity photographer are fully aware that what awaits them after birth is not a fairy tale. Of course, people can have very different experiences, but in general we can say that this sea change that turns our lives upside down, may not be as magical as our mothers tend to romanticise by telling us about the time they had their babies. So, if you don’t feel as fantastic as your mom allegedly did after giving birth to the miracle that is your baby, it doesn’t mean that you’re ungrateful, it means you’re human. Yes, when a baby is born, so is a mother. And what do we do with the woman who existed before?
After having children, women can experience this mother and woman coexisting and often in conflict. One of them wants to experience every moment in her children’s lives, while the other wants to resume her personal projects, go back to work, change careers, continue her studies. One wants to spend time with her family, the other wants new experiences, change the subject. Becoming a mother doesn’t mean having to leave that woman behind. Sure, she will have to adapt to a new reality, but she is still there and should not be forgotten. Having time for you, taking care of yourself, is just as important as taking care of your family, and you can only take care of others if you are well.
I like to think that when a baby is born, a more complex woman is born, and becoming that new woman is the hardest and most rewarding job one can have.

Maternity + Fresh 48 Session in Copenhagen | Meeting Baby Beau

In February I had the pleasure of photographing the Maternity Session of Michelle and Brandon in Copenhagen. Michelle was 39 weeks pregnant and, as you can see from the photos, she looked beautiful.
This Maternity Photo Session was very special because I knew that, a week or so later, we would meet again, only this time in the hospital, welcoming their little baby. As a matter of fact, this little boy was so comfortable inside mommy’s cozy womb, that we only met again three weeks later. Michelle had to be induced and after a long night trying for a natural birth, Beau came into the world by a C-section.
One day after birth, I went to the hospital to photograph their Fresh 48 Session. If you are curious of what a Fresh 48 Session is, this session happens during the first 48 hours of you baby’s life and it typically takes place in the hospital. These sessions make my heart melt. Parents invite you to celebrate their little one’s arrival with them just hours after their baby was born. That’s really something and I feel privileged to be able to document these moments.
Beau was born on the 18th of March, at Rigshospitalet, in Copenhagen.
Welcome, Beau! Wishing you a future filled with love. ♥

And three weeks later at Rigshospitalet…

This was a very special Maternity Shoot. The bun in the oven is my nephew, Murilo, and I was so happy I was able to photograph my big sister’s second pregnancy. It’s been seven years that I live far from my family in Brazil, so you can imagine how difficult it is to be present in all those special moments.
Murilo was born in January and happily I was there to meet him.
Welcome to the world, little man! I can’t wait to register all your milestones.

Maternity Photography | Maternity Photo Shoot Copenhagen

Pregnancy is such an exciting time and I was thrilled to be able to capture it for my dear friend Yulia.
As a mother I know how incredible it is to experience this miracle and I also know that sometimes 40 weeks can feel like 40 years. Yulia was almost there when we did this Maternity Photo Shoot. She was 36 weeks pregnant and tired. The photo session took only twenty minutes, but it was enough to create some really beautiful memories.
It’s nearly time to welcome little Maria into the world!

This summer I met this beautiful couple for a Maternity Photo Session in Copenhagen. For the 30th birthday of Alex, Lea offered him a trip to one of his dream destinations: Copenhagen. In the meantime they discovered they were expecting their first baby and decided to combine the trip with a Maternity Photo Shoot. We spent an afternoon photographing their Maternity Photos in Kastellet, a beautiful fortress in the heart of the city.
Congratulations, Lea and Alex, on your baby!
