Ottawa Maternity Photography

Our maternity sessions are designed for expectant moms who want to embrace the beauty of pregnancy and celebrate the life their bodies are creating. We specialize in bold and emotive outdoor maternity photography, capturing the raw and authentic essence of this transformative time.

Scheduled during the golden hours of sunrise or sunset for soft, flattering light that enhances the natural beauty of the surroundings and your pregnancy glow.

Our sessions take place in the heart of nature, whether it's the lush landscapes of Ottawa, the serene beauty of Petawawa, or the picturesque settings of Pembroke, creating a magical backdrop for your maternity portraits. 

Every expectant mother deserves to feel like a goddess, and our goal is to immortalize the radiance of this moment in time

"Silken is amazing at what she does! She did a maternity shoot for me & I couldn’t be happier. I’m definitely still getting used to my body as it changes through pregnancy, so I was a bit nervous. Silken made me feel so confident & beautiful the entire time. Her client closet is a dream come true! So many stunning dresses to choose from. She sent me a few photos right away as a sneak peek as well! Cannot recommended Silken enough! 🥰"

I didn't actually discover this why until I found my niche in photography. At first, as most photographers do, I shot everything and anything. Eventually I found what I truly love. Maternity. A mom being a mom, it's so powerful. 

My favourite thing to here at a gallery reveal is "I feel so beautiful", "I look like a goddess". YES, YES YOU DO, BECAUSE YOU ARE. Pregnancy has got to be one of the most downplayed miracles on this earth. You are creating life, you are building life, pardon my language but you ARE a FRICKEN QUEEN and I will work SO hard to make every mama believe this...because I have been in your shoes.  What pregnancy did to my body knocked me down hard. I didn't even get photos because I disliked myself so much, oh boy do I regret that. I look back at myself and see myself in a different light. I want you to skip over that disliking yourself phase and let me show you how much of an absolute goddess you are.
