Vous attendez un bébé et vous vous demandez quand immortaliser ce moment magique avec des photos de grossesse?

Bonne nouvelle : il n’y a pas de mauvaise réponse, mais certains moments sont plus propices que d’autres pour capturer toute la beauté de votre grossesse.

Chaque trimestre a ses propres atouts. On vous guide pour choisir LE moment parfait pour vos photos (et vidéos !) de grossesse.

Premier trimestre : l’émotion des débuts

It’s official: baby is on the way! The first months are filled with excitement, anticipation and sometimes a touch of discomfort (hello morning sickness).

If you wish to capture these very first moments of pregnancy, a couple photoshoot can be a beautiful way to preserve this intimate period, when you are still the only ones (or almost) sharing this secret.

Why have a photoshoot during the first trimester?

• To capture the raw emotion of the very beginning of motherhood.
• For an original announcement to your loved ones (and on social media!). Remember to bring your ultrasound photos.
• For images full of connection, as a duo, before your belly starts to grow.

 

Also consider video to capture your reactions, bursts of laughter and the emotion of this unique moment.

Second trimester: the perfect balance

At this stage, you’re feeling better (bye-bye morning sickness 👋), your belly is starting to show and you have more energy. It’s often the ideal time for a photoshoot!

Why choose the second trimester ?

Outdoor photos are easier, as fatigue is usually less present. Especially if you’re dreaming of creating beautiful images up in the mountains.

– Your belly is clearly visible without feeling too restrictive.
– You’re planning ahead: perfect if you want to use the photos for a baby shower or an announcement.
– You feel more comfortable physically and mentally.
– Outdoor photos are easier, as fatigue is less present. Especially if you’re dreaming of creating beautiful images in the mountains.

Troisième trimestre : la grossesse dans toute sa splendeur

It’s the final round before baby arrives. Your belly is beautifully rounded, motherhood is at its peak… and the excitement is growing!

The best time? Between the 7th and 8th month:

• Your belly is beautifully round and clearly visible.
• You’re still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session. Even if, let’s be honest, it’s more of a cosy moment than a hike in the Belledonne mountains.
• The excitement is building: these last weeks before birth are filled with emotion!

A few precautions if you choose the third trimester

• Fatigue can be more present, so we prioritise indoor sessions or easily accessible locations.
• Getting around can be more tiring, so a studio photoshoot may be more comfortable. Especially if you have pregnancy-related health concerns.
• Planning ahead is key: book your session in advance to avoid last-minute stress.

🎥 Consider video to capture the little details: baby’s movements beneath the skin, your hands gently resting on your belly, shared laughter with your partner… Photos are lovely, but a living memory makes it even more special.

Where to do your maternity photoshoot in Grenoble?

Two options:

Outdoors: enjoy the stunning landscapes around Grenoble. Forest, mountains, lakes… together, we choose a setting that truly reflects you.

What’s really wonderful about our region is that no matter the season, the surrounding nature offers incredible backdrops for your photoshoots.

Flower fields in spring, tall grass or feet in the water in summer, incredible colours in autumn, and for the bravest ones, a session in the snow during winter.

In the studio: in our glass studio filled with natural light, with a view of the mountains. A perfect cocoon for a soft and warm atmosphere. The décor is adapted and refreshed with the seasons, to match the mood and time of year perfectly.

Photos or video: which should you choose for your maternity memories?

A photo freezes a moment. A video brings it to life.

Photos capture your growing belly, your glances, your love. Video goes further: it captures your smile in motion, the sound of your laughter, the softness of a gesture.

Imagine reliving these moments in 10 years’ time… a tear in the corner of your eye guaranteed!

In short: the best moment is the one that feels right to you.

If we had to give one general rule: the 7th month is often ideal for a maternity photoshoot.

But what truly matters is that you feel comfortable and in tune with your wishes.

• First trimester: for intimate and authentic memories, with movement and accessories to highlight your pregnancy without focusing on a visible baby bump.
• Second trimester: for a clearly visible belly and a calm, relaxed photoshoot.
• Third trimester: to capture the intensity of the final weeks and highlight all the emotions before your little one arrives.

Whether you choose photos or a full reportage, these memories will remain precious for your entire life.
