How We Reviewed

1. Monography

Website: https://monography.ca/

Address: 3674 Saint Denis St

Contact: (438) 543-5094 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday-Sunday, 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Monography is a unique DIY studio where you can capture shots with a clicker. There’s a live preview screen and lighting, so you get the complete gear.

Plus, they offer standard and overhead photo booths in the studio. You get high-resolution, fun keepsakes that are different from the usual maternity shots.

We like that your session includes unlimited photos. You get two retouched digital files, two retouched prints, and two unedited Polaroids.

You even receive your retouched files in 15 to 30 minutes, and physical prints are ready before you walk out.

However, the 25-minute session time feels pretty tight for mothers who need to catch their breath or change outfits.

Great DIY maternity photo shoot experience

It was a great experience, I wanted some maternity shoot mid my pregnancy, and it was the perfect place to do them. No crazy expenses, and I was my own photographer, no rush and no shyness. I recommend it to everyone!

2. Lux Photography

Website: https://luxphotography.ca/

Areas Served: Montreal and surrounding areas

Contact: Contact via web form

Hours: Contact for availability

Lux Photography specialises in maternity and newborn shoots. Natalie, the photographer, has captured over 3,000 families and has been recognised internationally through the Baby Photos Awards.

You can choose between a cosy indoor studio setup or a scenic outdoor backdrop around the city for flexibility.

We also like that she’ll guide you through the entire posing process to capture the most flattering angles. You still get control since each session is based on your vision.

Every appointment lasts up to 90 minutes, so you won’t feel rushed during outfit changes.

It’s also fantastic that Natalie doesn’t charge extra when your partner or other kids join in on the session. 

But since the delivery process is split into two stages, you’ll have to wait about a month to get your final photos.

3. Studio Photo Rose

Website: https://studiophotorose.ca/

Address: 5301 Ch. Queen Mary

Contact: (514) 488-7121 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM | Saturday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Studio Photo Rose has over three decades of professional experience. They offer both studio and outdoor photography, giving you the flexibility you need.

We like their process, as they start by sending out preparation guides and questionnaires to ensure your wardrobe and expectations align.

You get complete service here, as they offer printing, custom frames, canvas prints, and photo books. This way, you can display your favourite shots without looking for another company.

But you should know that their primary focus leans toward headshots and family photography. Because of this, you’ll miss out on the maternity artistry that exclusive motherhood studios offer.

Patient photographer for newborn family shoot

We went there for the new born baby photo shoot with my husband and six years twin boys . Eghlima the photographer  was very patient with my new born baby and she really did a good job and kept the baby very calm. She was very friendly with my family . Even the other employees were so kind and they gave us a good deal on prices. Our new born baby photos and our family photos were very nice and professional. Thanks to everyone.

4. Armane Photography

Website: https://www.514photo.com/

Address: 5950 Côte-des-Neiges

Contact: (514) 560-6161 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday-Friday, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Saturday-Sunday, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Armane Photography is an indoor studio run by a mother of five. She understands motherhood, so she’s able to bring patience and warmth to her sessions, where clients can shine without feeling judged.

She focuses on timeless, authentic imagery that highlights your real emotions instead of forcing unnatural poses.

Once your baby arrives, you can seamlessly transition into her newborn and family portrait services to keep documenting your journey.

The session runs for around 45 minutes, with solid inclusions. You receive two outfits of your choice from their collection, a private online gallery, 10 retouched digital photos, and one 8×10 enlarged picture with a frame.

However, weekend hours are limited to the afternoon, cutting out valuable morning slots.

Wide variety of sessions with care

She offers such a wide variety of sessions too — graduation photos, family portraits, maternity shoots, newborn photography, and children’s pictures. Every single one is handled with so much care and attention to detail. She has a gift for making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the final photos.

If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, passionate, and genuinely dedicated to capturing your most precious moments, look no further. I highly recommend this studio to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed

Fantastic studio session for every occasion

I highly recommend this place. Excellent place to take professional pictures. I had a truly fantastic experience with Dana. We’ve been going there for more than 20 years for every occasion ( my sister wedding , my birthday , my engagement party).

Great photographer and great studio. I am in love with my most recent maternity and new born photoshoots.

Her service includes documenting your entire pregnancy journey. You can opt for progression packages across multiple trimesters.

Amazing family photos and timeless memories

We have done 4 sessions in the past year with Amy and every single one was amazing. From the maternity photoshoot, followed by newborn, first birthday and to the most recent family session, she made our baby and family feel so comfortable and captured the sweetest moments. She’s patient, creative, and has an eye for detail that really shows in the photos. The gallery always comes back better than we expected. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares and delivers beautiful, timeless photos. We’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you Amy!!
