Foto Palma Studio

I’m Giacomo Palma and, at Foto Palma Studio in Marina di Carrara, I devote myself passionately to maternity photography: a moment in life that deserves to be told with delicacy and care. Specialising in maternity sessions means guiding the expectant mother and the couple through an intimate, respectful experience designed to highlight emotions and the body’s transformation. My approach to maternity shooting favours naturalness and spontaneity. In the studio, in our fully equipped set, I provide a variety of backdrops, props and seating to create elegant, contemporary images that always retain warmth. If you prefer a different setting, I also offer on-location sessions—by the sea or in a park—upon request, maintaining the same attention to composition and light control. To achieve the best result it’s advisable to book one to two months in advance. The ideal period for the shoot is between the 32nd and 36th week, when the bump is well-formed but the expectant mother is still comfortable moving. A session normally lasts between 1 and 2 hours: the right amount of time to produce relaxed images, guide you gently and allow for spontaneous moments. After the session you will receive an online gallery with proofs so you can choose comfortably from home, or you can view the images in the studio with me. I offer handcrafted print solutions and photographic products—custom albums, professional prints and options such as canvas prints—to preserve these images in a tangible, precious way. My experience and professional path, born and raised in Carrara, have taught me the importance of building trust with each client: I listen to your ideas, respect your timing and create a welcoming atmosphere so you feel at ease. If you are looking for a maternity photographer in Marina di Carrara who combines technical skill, sensitivity and passion, contact me to plan your maternity session together and turn the memory of this waiting into images that will last forever.
