Meet Natalie, Montreal Maternity and Newborn Photographer Since 2008

Hello, I'm Natalie, a Montreal maternity and newborn photographer, proud mom of two, and the heart behind Lux Photography.

Since 2008, I've had the privilege of photographing over 5,000 families across Montreal during some of the most tender chapters of their lives. Pregnancy, the first days of a new baby, and the quiet magic in between. These aren't just milestones to me. As a mother, I know firsthand how quickly these moments pass, and how much it means to hold them forever.

My approach is thoughtful and intentional. I take the time to understand what matters most to you: your vision, your family's personality, and the feeling you want to carry forward. Every session is shaped around you, not a formula.

My work has been recognised internationally. I'm a Senior Member and ranked 5th in Canada by Baby Photo Awards, with 10 winning images across multiple international collections. I'm also a proud member of NACPC and APNI. Over 17 years, I've built a studio that families trust, return to, and recommend to the people they love most, and that means everything to me.

Whether your vision is soft and airy, clean and modern, or rich and dramatic, I'll create images that feel true to you.

The Right Time for Your Maternity Session

Most Montreal maternity sessions are scheduled between 28 and 34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round and you still feel comfortable and energized. That said, every pregnancy is different, and I'll always work around how you're feeling.

I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so we have plenty of time to plan your wardrobe, choose your location or studio setup, and find a date that feels right.

What Your Maternity Session Includes

Your session takes place in my private Montreal studio, a calm, beautifully lit space designed to feel comfortable and intimate, not clinical. The studio is yours for the full session, giving you time to settle in, change outfits, and simply be present.

I offer Montreal's largest maternity wardrobe collection, a curated selection of gowns, dresses, and fabrics that photograph beautifully across all body types and skin tones. We choose pieces together based on your personal style. You don't need to know what will look best on camera. That's my job.

Partner and family portraits are included in every session. I guide you clearly through every pose so you never feel unsure or awkward, even if you've never been photographed professionally before.

When to Book Your Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 5 to 14 days after birth, the sleepy newborn window when those curled poses and settled expressions are most natural. Sessions can still be beautifully photographed up to 28 days, though the style of posing shifts slightly as babies become more alert.

Because I limit the number of newborn sessions each month, most Montreal families reach out during their second trimester to reserve a tentative spot. Once your baby arrives, we confirm the exact day together based on how you and your newborn are doing.

Safety, Comfort and the Studio Experience

Your baby's comfort and safety are always the first priority. The studio is kept at a warm, newborn-friendly temperature throughout every session. I use only soft, supportive wraps, blankets, and props and I always work at your baby's pace, following their natural cues rather than forcing any pose.

If your baby needs to feed, be held, or simply take a break, we take that time. Your session will never feel rushed.

While I work with your baby, you and your partner can relax right beside the posing area. You're always close and involved, but you don't need to worry about soothing, posing, or styling. I handle the technical and creative side so you can simply be present.
