Maternity photographer in Casal de' Pazzi, Rome. Paolo captures the sweetness of pregnancy with a natural, empathetic style, offering bespoke sessions for authentic, refined maternity portraits.
I’m Paolo Donato, a professional photographer with a deep passion for maternity photography. Here in Casal de' Pazzi, at my studio in Rome, I transform your pregnancy into images that speak of love, anticipation and identity. For me, maternity photography is not merely aesthetics: it’s an intimate story that deserves gentleness, respect and lighting designed to enhance every nuance. Why choose me as your maternity photographer? I specialize in telling the story of motherhood with empathy and naturalness. My training with professionals such as Simone Sbaraglia, my experience at PC Academy and ISFCI, and my ACA certification have helped me refine an attentive eye for detail and the ability to capture genuine emotions. Raised with a camera around my neck, I create sessions that favor authenticity over forced poses: I seek real gestures, the gaze that looks to the future, the hands that protect. My approach is tailored: every maternity photo session is designed together with you. We start with a consultation to understand the style you prefer (fine-art, black & white, intimate reportage), choose outfits, props and lighting, and decide whether to shoot in my Casal de' Pazzi studio or on location. The set is arranged to make you feel comfortable: a warm atmosphere, soft music and breaks whenever needed. If you want to include your partner or siblings, I create moments that feel natural and full of tenderness. During and after the session I pay close technical attention: carefully planned lighting, clean compositions and post-production that respects the original mood. I deliver professionally retouched digital files and offer print options and albums for those who want a tangible keepsake. My aim is to shape timeless images that can be treasured and revisited with the same feeling as that moment. If you want a maternity photo session that centers your story, your strength and the beauty of transformation, contact me: from my studio in Casal de' Pazzi I will be happy to accompany you in creating your maternity album.
