What to Expect from Your Maternity Session at Paula Veverka Photography

Booking a maternity shoot might feel like a big step, but I promise—it’s a lovely experience, and many mums say it ended up being one of the highlights of their pregnancy.

Planning Your Session

Once you get in touch, I’ll pop your session into my diary at a time that works for you—usually somewhere between 28 and 36 weeks is ideal. When you arrive at my Blantyre studio, we always start with a wee chat. We talk about the kind of look you love, colours that suit you, and whether you’re after something simple and timeless or more creative.

We take everything at your pace. My studio is known for being warm, calm and easy-going—clients often say they feel instantly comfortable here, even if they’ve never done anything like this before.

Outfits, Style & Comfort

I have a range of maternity dresses, wraps and fabrics here at the studio, or you’re welcome to bring your own outfits too. Whether you prefer soft neutral tones, bold colours, or a more dramatic silhouette—there’s no pressure and no rush.

You’ll have plenty of time to change, rest, and enjoy the experience. This is about celebrating you and the journey you’re on. Many of my maternity clients tell me they didn’t expect to feel so beautiful or connected during their session—but it’s a lovely way to honour your body and the life you’re growing.

Partners & Siblings Welcome

If you'd like to include your partner or older children in the session, we can absolutely do that too. Those connection-filled images—hands on your bump, little ones cuddled in—are always so lovely and meaningful. Maternity photography is about the whole family, not just the bump.

A Personal, Stress-Free Experience

I’ve had the joy of photographing hundreds of families across Blantyre, Glasgow and Central Scotland, and what I hear most is how relaxed and comfortable the experience feels. Whether it's your first pregnancy or your fifth, we’ll create something special, with no stress and no pressure.

You’ll leave with beautiful memories of this time, and stunning images to look back on forever.

If you’d love to book a maternity session or have any questions at all, I’m always happy to chat. Just drop me a message and we’ll plan something that feels just right for you.
