Which week of pregnancy is best for the session?

Between week 28 and 34. The bump is already round and defined, but you can still move comfortably enough to walk along the beach or through the olive groves. Before week 28 it barely shows; after week 36 fatigue and heat make it uncomfortable, especially in summer.

Which location is most comfortable if I tire easily?

Es Trenc or any wide southeast cove: firm sand, parking close by and no climbing. The Sóller olive groves also work, with shade and flat ground. We skip Sa Foradada (30-minute descent) and Cap de Formentor if you'd rather not walk. We always plan breaks and bring water and a folding chair.

Can my partner or older child join?

Yes, at no extra cost. Couple shots with a hand on the belly and portraits with the older sibling are among the most treasured. If a small child comes along, we schedule the session right after their nap or breakfast so they're in a good mood, and we work fast during those minutes.

What should I wear for the session?

Long, flowing dresses in neutral or earth tones work best with the Mallorca landscape: ivory, beige, terracotta, soft blue. Fitted at the belly to mark the silhouette. We bring a couple of airy fabrics for the movement effect with the sea breeze. Avoid large prints and logos. Bare feet in the sand look natural.

Why Mallorca for a maternity photoshoot

A maternity photoshoot lives on soft light and a backdrop that doesn't fight the subject. Mallorca delivers exactly that: golden sunrises over the southeast coves, the filtered light of Tramuntana's centuries-old olive groves, and pale sand that bounces a warm tone onto the skin. With 300-plus sunny days a year, almost any date works if you pick the right hour.

Unlike an urban session, here pregnancy is photographed in a setting that brings genuine calm: no traffic in the background, no rush, the couple moving at their own pace. For anyone visiting the island around week 28-34, it's a perfect reason to combine rest with a keepsake that never dates.

Where we shoot and how the session works

The most comfortable maternity locations are the easy-access ones: Es Trenc and the wide southeast coves (firm sand, no rock-scrambling), the olive groves of Sóller and Valldemossa with natural shade, and Palma's seafront promenade and old-town courtyards for a more elegant register. Sa Foradada and Cap de Formentor are spectacular but involve a hike; we keep those only if you feel up to it.

The session runs 60 to 90 minutes and includes one outfit change. We work without forced posing: walking along the shore, a hand on the belly, the couple embracing with their backs to the sea. We bring a couple of flowing fabrics and dresses in case you want movement, and we plan breaks — from week 30 on, your pace sets the rhythm.

We recommend renting a car (around €25/day); from Palma almost any location is 80 minutes or less away. If you arrive without a car, we pick a spot near your accommodation to avoid extra travel.

Timing, duration and what's included

Ideal window: between week 28 and 34, when the bump is already the star but moving around is still comfortable. Spring and autumn are the best seasons; in summer we shoot only at sunrise or in the last hour of light, because the midday sun is harsh from June through August.

The guide price is around €190 and includes a 60-90 minute session, one outfit change, professional editing and delivery of 35-45 high-resolution photos via online gallery. Delivery takes 10 to 14 days; a 72-hour express option is available for a supplement.

Book 2-3 weeks ahead in high season to secure the sunrise you want. The coves fill up fast at the height of summer, so we start early: at 7:00 the light is perfect and the beach is still empty.
