Maternity Photoshoot Dubai


It was the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into.

Hi there! I’m Charlotte, a photographer with a deep love for capturing the magic of pregnancy. I’ve lived in Dubai for 6 years, but I spent the last 4 years photographing weddings in Europe, and now, I’m back in Dubai. I’ve found a new passion in maternity photography – there’s something truly special about documenting this unique stage in life, with all the anticipation and joy it brings. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or you’re adding to your growing family, a maternity photoshoot is a beautiful way to celebrate this moment and create lifelong memories.

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and transformative times in a woman’s life. There’s a unique glow, a sense of anticipation, and a love that grows stronger with each passing day. A maternity photoshoot is the perfect way to capture these precious moments, preserving the beauty of expectant motherhood forever. Whether it’s your first child or you’re adding another little one to the family, documenting this time through a maternity photoshoot can be an incredibly meaningful experience.

Dubai, with its stunning landscapes, luxurious settings, and year-round sunshine, offers countless opportunities to create breathtaking maternity photos. At Shots by Charlotte, we specialize in crafting maternity photography sessions that celebrate the magic of pregnancy, and we’d love to help you create unforgettable memories during this special time.

Why a Maternity Photoshoot Is So Special

A maternity photoshoot is about much more than just taking pictures – it’s about capturing the essence of a remarkable journey. It’s an opportunity to celebrate your changing body and the life growing within you. For many mothers, pregnancy is a time filled with excitement and anticipation, and photography helps to capture that joyful feeling.

Moreover, these photos will not only be cherished keepsakes for you and your partner, but they will also be a meaningful gift for your child. Imagine your little one growing up and being able to look back at these beautiful images, knowing how eagerly they were anticipated and celebrated even before they were born. This is why many parents choose to include their partners or other children in the photos, to document the unity and love that surrounds the family.

When Is the Best Time for a Maternity Photoshoot?

Planning the timing of your maternity photoshoot is key to ensuring that your photos capture your baby bump at its best. Generally, the ideal time for a maternity shoot is between the 28th and 34th week of pregnancy. At this stage, your belly is beautifully rounded and prominent, but you are still likely to feel comfortable and energetic enough for a photoshoot.

Of course, every pregnancy is different, so we always recommend a brief consultation to discuss what works best for you. We can adapt the shoot to suit your personal schedule, and we’re happy to accommodate evening or weekend sessions, which often work well for busy parents-to-be.

To get the most out of your maternity session, a little preparation can go a long way. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

About Us: Maternity Photographer Charlotte

Hello, I’m Charlotte! As your maternity photographer, I bring my passion for art, emotion, and real stories to life in every image I create. My approach is simple: I look for the pure moments, the loving glances, and the spontaneous smiles that make this special time so unique. For me, maternity photography isn’t just about capturing pictures; it’s about capturing feelings and creating memories that you’ll cherish forever as you prepare for a new chapter in your life.

Every pregnancy is a unique story, a special journey filled with anticipation. I strive to capture the essence of this time, from the small details like a tender hand resting on your belly to the big emotions of joy and excitement. My style is a blend of documentary and artistic photography, always with a focus on the natural and authentic. I’m here to tell your story through images that speak and move you, so you can keep these memories alive for years to come.

Fun Fact about Charlotte

My very first maternity photoshoot took place in the stunning desert of Dubai, with golden sand dunes as the backdrop! I was still relatively new to the profession and wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but what an experience it was. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscape and the soft light of the setting sun, I found my passion and knew that this was what I wanted to do. That day, amidst the calm and beauty of nature, shaped me into the photographer I am today.

About Us: Maternity Videographer Collin

What started as a way to spend more time with Charlotte turned into a deep passion for capturing maternity moments on video. Each maternity photoshoot is an opportunity for me as a videographer to tell a unique story—a story that can be both seen and felt. My style is dynamic and emotional, always seeking out those unexpected moments that make a session so special. It’s incredibly rewarding to capture the love, joy, and connection of this extraordinary time in a film that you’ll treasure forever.

Fun Fact about Collin

If you see me during a maternity shoot surrounded by giggling children, it’s probably because Charlotte is taking funny pictures of me explaining how the drone works or answering their questions about the camera. The kids find it absolutely fascinating, and the photos are hilarious to look back on! It’s become a bit of a tradition to catch these spontaneous moments, and they always bring a smile to our faces.
