Central Park Maternity Photography: Quiet Moments in the Middle of New York

Best NYC Locations for Maternity Photos

Maternity photography in New York City works best when it feels natural and personal. Whether photographed outdoors, at home, or in studio, the goal is relaxed portraits that reflect this transitional moment without feeling overly posed.

When to Schedule Pregnancy Photos

My Approach

My full-on documentary style comes to the fore when I photograph pregnant women. I tend to use my vintage cameras with gritty film and black and white. I like to take the pictures indoors. It’s just what inspires me. Are you a mom to be? Do you want me to photograph you in a soft, but real way? Many clients choose locations meaningful to them such as neighborhoods, parks, or their own homes. Contact me! This gallery is so special to me.

When to Book

The best time for pictures is seven to eight months (28-34 weeks). With twins, maybe a little earlier. However it truly depends on you! As you can see, some of my moms decided to wait until the late 30-week period to take their pictures.

Visit the Maternity Gallery

Maternity pictures with clothing, a nice option too

Here are some more maternity portraits, these outdoors, fully-clothed, in Central Park on the Bow Bridge, Reservoir, and on a big rock in Central Park. Some people don’t want to show their belly when they get their Maternity photos done, and that’s just fine with me! This couple simply wanted to look into the camera, mostly, and just beam with happiness and bask in the special time — all with a backdrop of some of the most special places in Central Park. Two of my favorite pictures in the gallery are the couple in front of the bathroom, more specifically the Delacorte Public Restroom. Certainly more beautiful than most restrooms, and definitely something overlooked during a photoshoot. But not with me. The other is the Ramble Stone Arch. A lot of people don’t go into Ramble for pictures, and it’s truly one of the hidden treasures of the park.
