Maternity Photographer Dubai: Your Shootix Price Guide from AED 449

Booking a maternity photographer in Dubai starts from AED 449 for an hour, which includes 10-25 edited, colour-graded photos delivered to you. This rate covers the photographer's time and expertise, ensuring you capture this special period in locations like Jumeirah Beach or a studio in Al Quoz.

Many parents-to-be choose a 2-hour session for AED 549, allowing for an outfit change or a second location nearby. This extra time can make a big difference, especially if you want to include family members or try different poses without feeling rushed.

What does a maternity photoshoot in Dubai cost?

Here's a breakdown of Shootix pricing for maternity photography in Dubai:

For shoots longer than 8 hours, each additional hour of photography costs AED 100. This is useful for full-day events or if you're planning a multi-location shoot across different emirates, like starting in Dubai and moving to Abu Dhabi, which adds significant travel time.

How many photos will I get?

You'll receive 10-25 edited, colour-graded photos for every hour booked. For example, a 2-hour maternity shoot will give you between 20 and 50 final images. These are delivered with one round of revisions to ensure you're happy with the final selection.

Raw footage is not included in the deliverables. The focus is on providing a curated set of high-quality, professionally finished images that capture the essence of your maternity journey.

Where should I do my maternity photoshoot in Dubai?

The best location depends on the time of year and your personal style. From November to March, outdoor locations like Kite Beach, Al Qudra desert, or the lush gardens of a resort offer beautiful backdrops. The light is soft and temperatures are pleasant, making for comfortable shooting conditions throughout the day.

During the hotter months, from May to September, outdoor shoots are best scheduled for the hour after sunrise or before sunset. Otherwise, an indoor studio in areas like Alserkal Avenue or a well-lit hotel suite provides a comfortable, air-conditioned environment. Some malls and private communities require written permission for commercial photography, so always check in advance.

Consider the practicalities of an outdoor shoot in summer. The humidity can cause camera lenses to fog when moving from air-conditioned spaces, adding a few minutes of delay to the start of your session. Staying hydrated is also crucial for the expectant mother.

What if I want video too?

If you'd like both photography and videography for your maternity shoot, the pricing follows the videography column, with one professional handling both aspects. A 1-hour session is AED 549, and a 2-hour session is AED 649. This includes 1-6 edited videos, depending on the booking length, with up to two rounds of revisions.

Adding an extra 30-second edited video beyond what your booking length includes costs AED 249. This can be a great way to create a short, memorable clip of your maternity journey.

What should I consider before booking?

Think about the best time in your pregnancy to schedule the shoot, typically between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is prominent but you're still comfortable moving around. Discuss your vision with the photographer beforehand, including any specific poses, outfits, or locations you have in mind.

If you're planning an outdoor shoot during the weekend, especially between November and March, book well in advance. Popular photographers can be booked up four to eight weeks ahead during the season. Also, remember that Friday hours and the Ramadan timetable can affect availability and what can be achieved in a half-day booking.
