Photography by Carolina is a dedicated maternity specialist based in Bournemouth, Dorset. As a mother of two who fell in love with a camera at age ten, Carolina brings a deeply personal, empathetic approach to pregnancy photography. Her mission is simple: to create timeless, beautiful images that celebrate the strength, softness and unique glow of each expecting mother. Why choose Carolina? She positions herself as a maternity expert — focusing on maternity and bump photography as her primary passion. Her signature style blends fine-art sensibility with modern glamour: thoughtful use of dark tones and soft light, elegant posing and minimal, emotive compositions that highlight your natural curves. The result is a gallery of images that feel both intimate and editorial — portraits you’ll proudly display for years to come. How Carolina works is designed around comfort and calm. Sessions take place in her cosy home studio in BH1, Bournemouth, where she maintains a warm, relaxed atmosphere so clients feel at ease. Carolina provides a carefully curated selection of maternity dresses, gowns and materials so you don’t need to worry about outfits. If you’re new to photoshoots, she will guide you step-by-step through posing to bring out your most flattering lines and true confidence — helping you look romantic, powerful and completely yourself. Her sessions are crafted for the expecting mother: thoughtful planning, considerate direction and an emphasis on genuine emotion. Partners and children can be included when desired, allowing portraits that celebrate family connection alongside your bump. Carolina also welcomes clients from across Dorset and neighbouring areas including Poole, Southampton, Weymouth and Gosport. Practical guidance is offered with a personal touch — for many, the ideal time for a maternity session is during the later second to early third trimester, when your bump is beautifully defined and you feel comfortable. Carolina’s focus is on capturing those fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime moments with care and artistry. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer in Bournemouth who combines a fine-art eye, calm studio experience and heartfelt dedication to expecting mothers, contact Photography by Carolina to start your maternity story and create images you’ll cherish forever.
