One Hundred and Eighteenth Collection
A refined portrait in anticipation of a miracle.
This exquisite studio maternity photograph literally radiates tenderness, femininity, and the quiet anticipation of a new life.
The subject of the photo—a young mother-to-be—sits on a dark cube, lightly touching her chin with her hand, looking into the camera with a soft, confident smile. Her pose is both relaxed and elegant: the beautifully flowing silhouette of her white, off-the-shoulder dress with airy sleeves accentuates the curves of her belly, making it the main focus of the photograph. A pearl necklace and beige heels complete the look—understated luxury without a single superfluous detail.
A Renaissance portrait.
This photograph is not simply a snapshot of a moment, but a complete artistic statement about the beauty of motherhood, in which every detail contributes to a unified, harmonious image.
The last day of summer
Thanks to the late summer sun, the silhouette of a child can bring to mind carefree and innocent childhood memories.
Emphasized by simple shapes and strong contrasts, it conveys a sense of depth and minimalism suspended in time.
Every time I look at this image, I’m reminded why I began photography—for the emotion, for the love that can live within a single moment...
This image captures the tender anticipation of new life and the deep connection between two hearts preparing to become parents.
Standing close together, the couple shares a gentle, intimate moment — a quiet kiss filled with love, trust, and unspoken promises for the future.
The father’s hands rest protectively on the mother’s belly, embracing not only the child they are waiting for, but also the journey they are about to begin together. Their closeness reflects both excitement and calm, a beautiful balance between longing and certainty.
The soft tones and minimal setting draw all attention to their bond, allowing the emotion to speak without distraction. It is a portrait of love in its purest form — the kind that grows even deeper while waiting for a new heartbeat to enter the world.
More than a maternity photograph, this image preserves a fleeting moment of expectation, unity, and the quiet magic that exists just before a family grows.
Wrapped in flowing, translucent fabric, the mother-to-be radiates strength, serenity, and timeless femininity. The warm, earthy tones and gentle movement of the veil create an ethereal atmosphere that beautifully highlights the curves of new life. Her pose feels both powerful and tender, capturing the quiet miracle of motherhood in its purest form.
Little Dreamer’s Journey
This image captures a newborn in its first days of life, gently wrapped and nestled in a rustic woven wagon. Soft textures and natural elements create a peaceful atmosphere that reflects the tenderness and magic of a baby’s very first photoshoot.
Surrounded by the gentle warmth of her parents’ gaze, a baby sleeps in perfect peace.
This portrait captures the beginning of their journey together, framed by a light that symbolizes the boundless love and hope they hold for their child.
"Girl with Butterflies" is a work by Anastasia Lebedeva, included in the 118th collection of the international Baby Photo Awards competition.
The photograph captures the young model full-length against a deep, textured olive-brown background, lending a noble, painterly quality reminiscent of the paintings of old masters. The girl is dressed in a luxurious, tiered dress of translucent organza in muted lilac and plum tones with a subtle floral print. Cap sleeves add airiness and delicacy to the look.
The main accent is her luxurious, long, golden-blond hair, flowing freely as she moves, upon which bright, decorative butterflies—yellow, orange, and blue—perch, as if resting. This element transforms the portrait into a miniature fairy tale, creating a sense of magic and oneness with nature.
