I’m a Vancouver film maternity photographer, capturing the quiet, emotional, and meaningful moments that make this season so unforgettable.
Intimate sessions. Honest moments. I photograph you exactly as you are — connected, expectant, and full of anticipation.
Based in Vancouver, available throughout the city and surrounding areas.
I grew up in Italy, where I spent hours lost in old family photo albums — studying each image like it held a secret. Even then, I knew how powerful it was to hold onto a fleeting moment.
That’s what I bring to every session:
a deep love for storytelling, and a quiet reverence for this wild, beautiful life.
Your maternity experience with me is relaxed, intentional, and entirely centred around you.
I focus on connection, emotion, and the honest beauty of these final weeks before meeting your baby.
In your home, on location, or in a studio setting, I’ll offer gentle direction while creating space for genuine moments to unfold naturally.
You’ll receive candid, meaningful images that capture the tenderness and anticipation of this chapter — photographs that become heirlooms for your growing family.

If you have any other questions, you’re always welcome to reach out.
I’m here to help this feel easy.
I typically recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28 and 35 weeks. During this window, your belly has a beautiful, full shape, and you’re still comfortable enough to move, walk, and enjoy the experience.
That said, every pregnancy is different — the best time is truly when you feel your best. Whether you’re showing earlier, carrying later, or simply have a moment in this season that feels meaningful to document, we can plan your session around what feels right for you.
My goal is to capture this chapter in a way that feels natural, comfortable, and deeply true to you.
When is the best time to do maternity photos?
Because I shoot on film, I pay close attention to natural light.
Before your session, we’ll go over your space together and find the areas where light falls best. I’ll guide you throughout, so nothing feels forced — we simply work with what’s already there.
What about lighting in our home?
Most sessions happen in your home or somewhere meaningful to you.
It could be your living room, your neighbourhood, a favourite park — anywhere that already holds your life.
I’m always happy to help you choose a location that feels natural and aligned.
Where do sessions take place?
It doesn’t need to be.
I’m not looking for perfect spaces. I’m looking for real ones. The way your home holds your life is part of the story. We’ll work with the light and the spaces that feel good.
What if our home doesn’t feel “photo-ready”?
Film takes a little more time.
Your rolls are sent to the lab to be developed and scanned. The usual turnaround is between two to three weeks.
When will we receive our photos?
If you’re drawn to honest, artful images that reflect this season as it truly feels — quiet, intimate, and deeply personal — then yes, we’re likely a beautiful match.
I’m here for those who want something more natural and unforced.
Images that don’t ask you to perform, but simply allow you to be present in this moment.
This work is about noticing: your body, your pace, the small shifts that mark this time.
If you're looking for something more styled or structured, there are wonderful photographers who specialize in that — it’s simply not where my heart lives.
But if you want images that feel like you, something you can return to and remember not just how it looked, but how it felt to be here, I’d be honoured to create them with you.
