Maternity and family portraits
A pregnancy announcement, a maternity session in a flowing dress, or three generations in one frame.
No price on this page. This one is quoted rather than listed, because what it costs depends on the decoration, the venue and which extras you want. Tell us what you are planning and you will get a real figure, not a starting-from.
Who it is for
- Expecting parents who want the photographs while it still shows.
- Families travelling together who will not all be in one country again soon.
- Anyone announcing a pregnancy and wanting the picture to carry it.
What we deliver
- A dress from our collection, in the colour you choose, fitted for the session.
- A rooftop or outdoor location with a view of the pyramids, confirmed for your date.
- A directed session at a pace that suits whoever is in it.
- Colour-graded photographs delivered afterwards.
Optional
What you can add
Each of these says who actually provides it, because that is what decides how quickly we can confirm it.

Arranged through a supplier we work with
- Where
- A private hotel rooftop or an approved stage with a view of the Pyramids of Giza. These experiences are not held inside the archaeological complex, which is why there is no entry ticket and no gate to wait for.
- How long
- Allow around ninety minutes. We work at whatever pace the session needs, and there is somewhere to sit between frames.
- How far ahead
- A week or two, and earlier in a pregnancy is easier to schedule than later.
Before you plan around it
What has to be true
- The rooftop belongs to a hotel, not to us. Every date is confirmed with the venue before anything is final, and some setups need their approval first.
- Dress sizing for a maternity session is confirmed with you before the date rather than on the day.
Questions
Will a dress fit at any stage of pregnancy?
Tell us how far along you will be on the date when you enquire, and we will tell you which colours we can fit. That is a question we answer before you book, not on the morning.
How early in the day is it?
Early, for the light, and that is the one thing we will not move. We will tell you the exact time for your date when we confirm it.
Other experiences
Proposals, above the pyramids
A private rooftop, a decoration you choose, and a photographer already in position when she turns around. We plan it with you and nobody else hears about it.
Gender reveals with a view
The moment itself, photographed and filmed, with the family in the frame and the pyramids behind them.
Birthdays and private celebrations
A milestone birthday, a graduation, a reunion, or an evening that simply deserved more than a restaurant.
Anniversaries and romantic evenings
For couples who are not proposing and still want the evening to be the one they talk about.
Vow renewals and engagement celebrations
A symbolic ceremony and the photographs to go with it. A celebration, not a legal marriage.
