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.

15 Years of Expertise and +700 mommies photographed

With 15 years of experience, I’ve perfected the art of capturing the beauty and grace of expectant mothers in elegant sessions. I have photographed over 700 mommies throughout my career. And as a mother, I deeply understand the emotions and anticipation that come with this special time, allowing me to create a comfortable and empowering experience that highlights the natural glow and strength of motherhood.

Professional Studio Environment

I am in my third Studio during my trajectory. Our professional and cozy space at 231 Yorkville Rd, in SW Calgary, is fully equipped with the best and high-end professional lighting, a huge and wide variety of props, fabrics, and decorations of all sorts, and everything needed for an elegant and artistic maternity photography session.

Emphasizing Elegance and Simplicity

I love the power of simplicity. My personal style celebrates its beauty and the timelessness of elegance — creating images that feel natural, graceful, and effortlessly beautiful.

Motherhood is pure Magic

These precious memories deserve to be cherished. In 20 years, your photos will take you back to this special time!

How a Maternity Photography Session Works

There’s so much that goes into a stunning maternity session, and here’s a glimpse:

  • Poses that highlight your glow. From elegant silhouettes to intimate moments
  • A wardrobe curated for you. I offer a diverse selection — and it’s all included!
  • Vibrant colours or timeless neutrals. I can provide a wide variety of settings
  • Perfect timing. Scheduling between 28-34 weeks to capture your glow at its peak
  • Four designed packages that cater to your desires and fit your budget
  • Customizable add-ons. Enhance your session with unique details that make the experience truly your own

My goal is to make the entire photography experience effortless and enjoyable. Your comfort and happiness are just as important as capturing beautiful photos!

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.
