Why Choose Fernanda Bautzer Photography?
As a mother of two young children, I deeply understand the value of capturing each precious moment and milestone in our lives. From the first kicks during pregnancy to unforgettable memories like first steps and first birthdays — every stage is a treasure worth preserving. And those pregnancy months? They’re some of the most beautiful and empowering moments of all.
My journey into photography began in 2010, when I made the life-changing decision to leave my career in design and follow my passion. I opened my own Studio, and since then, I haven’t stopped — not even during my ninth month of pregnancy! Working with expectant mothers and their little ones fills my heart with joy. Through every session, I aim to reflect that love and passion in every image I create.
Motherhood is pure Magic
These precious memories deserve to be cherished. In 20 years, your photos will take you back to this special time!

Poses & Outfits
Maternity Robe & Lingerie
Some of the most beautiful maternity portraits are created with soft robes and delicate lingerie — not to be provocative, but to celebrate the strength, femininity, and beauty of motherhood.
These pieces are carefully selected to enhance your natural glow and showcase your growing belly in the most graceful way. Think flowing fabrics, elegant lace, and timeless neutrals that photograph beautifully — creating a look that’s refined, artistic, and empowering.
Every session is designed to make you feel confident, comfortable, and radiant. Whether you prefer something romantic and airy or minimal and modern, we’ll find the perfect style to reflect you.
LifeStyle Outfits
Celebrate you in a natural, relaxed, and effortlessly beautiful way. Flowing dresses, soft knits, and cozy everyday outfits are perfect to reflect your personal style and capture the warmth of this special moment.
Whether you're wearing a simple maxi dress, a soft sweater, a blue jeans, or a boho-inspired look, these pieces allow for gentle movement and emotional connection — perfect for timeless, heartfelt images.
The goal is to make you feel like yourself, just glowing a little more. These sessions are all about genuine smiles, gentle touches, and the quiet beauty of motherhood, captured just as you are.
Your Personal Outfits
Your maternity session should reflect you — your style, your story, your roots. You're welcome to bring your personal outfits, from a favorite dress or stylish jacket to meaningful cultural attire.
These special pieces add authenticity and emotion to your photos. I’ll guide you to combine them with natural posing and soft light to highlight your glow in a way that feels timeless and true to you.

From flowy fabrics to elegant silhouettes, these pieces photograph beautifully and are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and tones. Whether you’re drawn to soft neutrals or dramatic shapes, we’ll find the perfect look to match your vision and make you feel radiant.
Spouse & Family Pictures
Adding your spouse and family to your maternity session brings even more meaning and emotion to your photos — and it's a beautiful add-on you’ll always cherish.
Here are just a few moments we can capture together:
- Mom and the bump, in glowing moments
- Proud partner shots, filled with love

Professional Make Up

To make your experience even more special, I offer professional makeup in partnership with Sephora at Chinook Centre.
Your makeup will be done by a Sephora Beauty Advisor, ensuring you look radiant, polished, and camera-ready — just 1–2 hours before your session. It’s a simple add-on that brings an extra boost of confidence and elegance to your photos, for a small additional fee.

Outdoor Session
Want the best of both worlds? You can bundle your Studio Maternity Session with an Outdoor Session, capturing both timeless elegance and the beauty of nature.
We’ll begin in the comfort of the studio with styled portraits, then head outdoors to explore Calgary’s breathtaking landscapes — from golden fields and tree-lined paths to scenic riverbanks and mountain outlooks. Whether it’s the calm of Fish Creek Park, the charm of Prince’s Island, or a peaceful prairie sunset, nature adds a magical touch to your story.
It’s the perfect way to create a rich, varied gallery — blending softness, style, and the stunning surroundings Calgary has to offer.
In-Home LifeStyle Session
You can also bundle your Studio Maternity Session with an In-Home Session, capturing both the elegance of the studio and the intimacy of your own space.
We’ll begin with beautifully styled portraits in the studio, then move to your home to photograph the cozy details that make your journey uniquely yours — your favorite corner, the baby’s room, special decorations, and the everyday magic of your surroundings.
It’s a wonderful way to tell your story in full, blending timeless beauty with heartfelt memories right where they happen.
