Maternity Photographer in Abu Dhabi
Hi, I’m Ewelina — a maternity photographer in Abu Dhabi and a mum myself, so I know how special (and how tiring!) these last weeks of pregnancy can feel. I photograph relaxed, natural maternity sessions at home, on the beach, in the park and in the golden dunes of the Al Khatim desert — just you, your bump and the people you love.
It’s a time of dreams, hopes, and a growing love that only intensifies as we count down the days to meet our little miracle.
Relaxed, Natural Maternity Photos
A maternity session with me is not about stiff poses or perfect smiles. I gently guide you with simple prompts — a hand on your bump, a slow walk with your partner, a quiet moment by the window — and capture the real emotions in between: the excitement, the anticipation and the love you already feel for your baby.
As a maternity photographer in Abu Dhabi, my goal is simple: photos that feel like you, and that you’ll treasure long after your little one has arrived.
Maternity Photos at Home, With Your Partner and Children
As a maternity photographer in Abu Dhabi without a studio, I always come to you. Your home is one of the most beautiful places for maternity photos — soft window light, your favourite corner, the nursery you’ve been preparing. In the last weeks of pregnancy it’s also the most comfortable choice: no travel, no heat and as many breaks as you need.
Many mums love including their partner, older children or even the family pet, so we can create a few family frames before the new baby arrives. After the birth, I also offer Fresh 48 hospital sessions and in-home newborn sessions.
Maternity Photoshoot Locations in Abu Dhabi
As a maternity photographer in Abu Dhabi, I know the most beautiful spots for every season. From October to April, Abu Dhabi has some of the most beautiful light for maternity photos. These are the places mums love most:
- Al Khatim desert — golden dunes, flowing dresses and soft sunset light, about 45–60 minutes’ drive from the city. Read more about my desert maternity sessions.
- Reem Island beach — calm water, soft evening light and the city skyline behind you.
- Saadiyat Beach — white sand and gentle waves, beautiful for long, floaty dresses.
- Wahat Al Karama — a calm reflecting pool with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque glowing behind you at sunset.
- Jubail Mangrove Park — wooden boardwalks and natural greenery, calm and private.
- Your home — soft window light and the place where your baby will soon be.
Not sure which place suits you? Tell me what you love, and I’ll suggest the best spot for your style and the season.

What Mums Say
When to Book Your Maternity Photoshoot
Most mums choose their maternity session between 30 and 34 weeks — late enough for a beautifully rounded bump, and early enough to still move comfortably. I recommend booking your date in the second trimester, especially for an outdoor session: from October to April golden-hour evenings fill up quickly. From May to September, I photograph maternity sessions at home or very early in the morning. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Abu Dhabi, it’s best to get in touch as soon as you know your due date.
What to Wear for Your Maternity Photos
Flowing fabrics, soft neutrals and pieces that let your bump take centre stage photograph beautifully — think long dresses in cream, beige, white or sage. On the beach and in the desert, light dresses that move in the wind look stunning; at home, a soft knit or a simple shirt dress works just as well. For more outfit ideas and colour palettes, read my guide What to wear for your photoshoot.
