Moments that left us speechless
We’re never short of inspiration when it comes to the MILK community, and we’re privileged to print hundreds of beautiful maternity and baby books that celebrate the wonder of pregnancy.
Pregnancy is often a time that is wished away; nine months spent counting down until the moment you have your beautiful baby in your arms. But you won’t be pregnant forever and believe us when we say you will never regret having maternity photos and memories to look back on.
Consider celebrating the impending arrival of your little one with a heartfelt photoshoot. We’ve selected ten of our most-loved maternity photos to inspire you.

One of many stunning maternity photos preserved in our magazine format, Rheana’s evolving family is beautifully captured as they grow from a family of two, to three and finally four.

6. Maternity & Newborn
Embracing the private ambience of an indoor studio, this mother-to-be has chosen the perfect setting for her maternity photo shoot. An indoor session not only allows for various backdrops and more control of the lighting, it offers a level of comfort and creativity that can’t always be matched outdoors. We loved these maternity photos, and the way the delicate, ethereal robe adds an air of timelessness and sophistication to the image.
7. Twenty Twenty
This beautiful moment, photographed against the backdrop of a picturesque field at twilight, celebrates not only maternity but the anticipation of an expanding family. The resulting photo book captures the essence of their family before the arrival of the newest member, serving as a cherished reminder of their shared affection and excitement during this new chapter.
8. Before We Were Three
These soon-to-be-parents have captured quiet moments of anticipation from the intimacy of their own home. A familiar setting filled with love and comfort provides the perfect backdrop for maternity photography. We love the way these photos beautifully illustrate the start of a new chapter in this couple’s love story.
9. January - June
In a beautifully curated Softcover Photo Book, a mother tells the story of her unwavering love and the countless cherished moments with her growing family. This moment in her pregnancy journey captures the unbreakable bond between the mother and her daughter as her sibling waits to be born.
10. Māori Bay, Muriwai
Bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun at Muriwai Beach in New Zealand, a family of three stroll along the shore, hand in hand. We adore the gentle warmth of the sunlight kissing the waves, which create a heartwarming scene of togetherness, captured in rose-colored hues.
Pregnancy is a chapter that at times may seem long and demanding, yet it is a fleeting moment in your family’s story. These cherished maternity photos, beautifully compiled by members of the MILK community into long lasting photo books and albums, will forever preserve the memories and moments of a special chapter. Don’t let the journey pass you by; embrace it, capture photos and create memories to treasure for generations.
