Pregnancy is a short chapter, and most people only realise afterwards how few photos they have of it. A maternity session gives you a set of calm, considered pictures of yourself, or the two of you, before everything changes.
The session is built around comfort. The photographer chooses places with short walks and somewhere to sit, plans breaks and keeps an eye on temperature. In Denmark that often means a sheltered spot out of the wind on the coast, or a session at home on a grey day.
Most sessions are outdoors in late spring, summer or early autumn, when the light is soft and evenings are long. In winter, a home session by a window works well, and Danish homes with large windows and light walls suit it.
If you would like to come back with your newborn later, or with older siblings, a family photoshoot follows naturally. We match you with an independent photographer reviewed for portfolio, experience with maternity sessions, languages and local knowledge, and you receive a proposal with their name, package and price before anything is booked.

The session
The photographer meets you at the agreed place or at your home, starts slowly and adapts to how you feel on the day. If you are unwell, tell them; rescheduling terms are in your proposal.
Where the session happens
Around Copenhagen, the coast north of the city has grassy shores and calm water at sunset, and the beech woods of Dyrehaven give soft, even light under the canopy. In the city, the Botanical Garden and Frederiksberg Have offer flat paths and benches. In Jutland, Aarhus has woods and beaches along the bay a short drive from the centre, and Aalborg and Odense both have large, easy parks. Many photographers also offer sessions at home, which avoids travel and weather altogether.
Before your session
- Book around weeks 28 to 32 and have the session around weeks 30 to 36, when the bump shows but moving is still comfortable.
- Choose a flexible date. If you feel tired or unwell, it is better to move the session than push through it.
- Fitted dresses or a partner’s shirt over bare skin show the bump well. Bring a second outfit if you like.
- Bring water, a snack and comfortable shoes for walking between spots.
- On the coast, choose a sheltered spot or a calm evening. Danish wind cools you down quickly when you stand still.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a maternity photoshoot in Denmark cost?
A maternity session through our platform starts from DKK 2,900 for about an hour, outdoors or at home. On the islands and far coasts the starting price is DKK 4,000. The final price depends on the photographer, date, place and extras and is stated in your proposal.
When is the best time in pregnancy for a maternity shoot?
Most people have their session between weeks 30 and 36. The bump is clearly visible and moving is usually still comfortable. Twins or a complicated pregnancy may mean an earlier date; talk to your midwife or doctor if unsure.
Can my partner and children be in the photos?
Yes. Many sessions include a partner and older siblings for part of the time. Tell us who will join so the photographer can plan the order and the pace.
Can the session be at home?
Many photographers offer home sessions. A room with a large window and plain walls works well. Mention it in your request so we match you with someone who does them.
What if I do not feel well on the day?
Tell the photographer as early as you can. Moving a maternity session is common and expected. The exact rescheduling terms are set out in your proposal.
