Vancouver In-Home Maternity Session with Kids

Vancouver In-Home Maternity Session with Kids / Vancouver Family Photographer


This Vancouver in-home maternity session with kids unfolded on a quiet, light-filled morning. I documented a growing family in the comfort of their own space. We started in the bedroom, where soft natural light poured in and shaped the scene.

From there, I focused on mom and her two daughters, ages six and eight. In those first moments, they moved around each other with ease. Meanwhile, small gestures, closeness, and a tender sense of anticipation filled the space. Although nothing was spoken, everything felt present in each frame.

For this Vancouver maternity photography session, I used a blend of portraiture and an observational, editorial approach. As a result, there was space for both connection and stillness to emerge naturally.

Afterwards, I shifted focus and photographed the mother on her own. In that moment, she felt quiet, grounded, and reflective. Then, I gradually brought the whole family together. When her partner joined, the energy shifted. Consequently, the session gained depth, warmth, and a fuller sense of their shared story.

I photographed most of this in-home maternity session on 35mm film. In addition, this choice felt aligned with the atmosphere we created. Film holds colour, grain, and depth in a unique way. At the same time, it feels intentional and unhurried. It slows the pace of the session and, ultimately, it adds a timeless quality to the final images.

Overall, this Vancouver maternity session at home reflects what I am always drawn to. That is, honest, artful family photography. In other words, images that capture not just how a moment looked, but how it felt to be there.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT LORENZA

I am a family, newborn and maternity photographer in Vancouver, BC where I live with my wife Ilenia and our two-year old daughter, Amelie. 

I grew up in Italy, where some of my happiest memories were spent flipping through old photo albums with my grandmother and my mum.
I’d get lost in those images. Even then, I understood that these photos weren’t just pictures. They were time machines. They held feelings that might have otherwise faded.

Photography has always been that for me:
a way to hold on.
to return.
to remember what really matters.

I began with a disposable camera and a quiet desire to document everything around me. Over time, that love deepened, and in 2023, when I became a mother myself, it changed everything.
Suddenly, the everyday moments became precious. I understood how uncomfortable it can feel to rush a session, to ask children to perform, to chase something that doesn’t feel true.

That experience shaped the way I work today — calmly, slowly, and with deep respect for your family as you are.
