mom to be touching her 7 months belly

All the Way from Dubai: A Maternity Photo Session in NYC

Some people just have that effortless glow during pregnancy, and this mom-to-be from Dubai was no exception. Her maternity photo session in NYC couldn’t have gone better—she’s easily one of the most naturally photogenic people I’ve worked with.

She was after a city vibe, so we headed to the Meatpacking District. With its textured walls, cobblestone streets, and the unique light along the High Line, it was the perfect setting. The session felt calm and relaxed, with her completely at ease, embracing both her belly and the energy of the city around her.

We loved how she chose two very different looks—one tight dress and one loose, flowy fit. Each outfit showed off her beautiful belly in its own way. She kept it classic with a solid black dress, which always looks timeless, and then switched things up with a fun, patterned dress for a more playful vibe. At Stylish Hip Kids Photography, we always encourage moms and families to use the session as an opportunity to wear something extra special, making the experience even more memorable and fun.

The photos turned out beautifully—natural, simple, and exactly what she wanted. And the best part? She loved them just as much as we did.
