Looking for some of the best maternity photoshoot ideas in Phoenix? At Peerspace we get it. The location of your maternity shoot is crucial. After all, you’ll want to look back at these pictures and enjoy the memories for decades to come.

Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals, so we know a thing or two about photogenic settings! Whether you’re looking for an outdoor location with scenic views or an indoor photo studio with A/C and other amenities, there are plenty of interesting venues to rent for the occasion in Phoenix through our platform. We’ve put together this list of 10 maternity photoshoot ideas in Phoenix — all of which are available to rent by the hour — to help you find the perfect spot for your session.

1. A customizable photo studio in Willo

First, let’s start with this customizable photo studio in Willo, which has everything you need for a professional shoot. If your vision includes any props or digital effects, you’ll be well taken care of at this 1,620-square-foot space with two studios and a dressing room.

Use the white cyclorama wall as your backdrop, or rent additional lights and photography equipment to work with. The venue also includes the option of repainting the walls so they’re nice and bright, as well as combining studios A & B for a larger and more flexible workspace.

Another perk that comes with using Peerspace to rent venues? You can read genuine reviews from past renters before you decide to book! Here’s one Peerspace review for this studio as an example: “Dan and his team were incredibly accommodating, their studio was spacious and clean, we hope to come back again sometime soon. Thank you!”

2. Go back in time with this unique retro set

If you want a one-of-a-kind backdrop for your photoshoot, consider renting this mid-century retro living room set in Encanto Village. Granted, most modern moms-to-be have different goals and priorities than moms-to-be in the mid-20th century. However, if you feel like dressing up a bit, you can do a playful maternity mid-century pin-up shoot and go full glam for this one. It’s one of those maternity photoshoot ideas in Phoenix that will delight your social media followers.

In the words of a photographer who booked this retro set for a shoot: “Such a cool space! We really enjoyed shooting here. It was clean and the instructions for getting into the space were clear and easy to follow.”

3. A modern guest house in Garfield

Another award-winning design, this modern guest house in Garfield features a minimalist interior with a lush outdoor garden. The all-white walls open up onto a wooden deck, while the windows look out onto a grassy lawn. There’s also an outdoor wood stove for a cozy seating area, as well as a large stack of wood lending the space authentic natural charm. Whether you choose to shoot inside or out, this is another maternity photoshoot idea that will look great in your photo album — or on the cover of a magazine.

Check out this helpful review from a Peerspace user who mentions the exceptional host: “What an interesting space! A beautifully appointed ‘tiny home’ that ended up being the perfect music video set. Christoph was an awesome, accomodating host and I can’t wait to work with him again!”

4. A desert oasis in Peoria

You’ll find a different kind of style at this classy desert oasis, which offers 1.5 acres of secluded space and beautiful sunset views. The modern home has two master bedrooms and a spacious seating area with a billiards table and cozy furniture overlooking the kitchen.

But the highlight of this space is the backyard, which features an in-ground pool, hot tub, and patio with an outdoor fireplace. The home is built in the Pueblo/Santa Fe style and is surrounded by a desert garden for a classic Arizona setting that will look great during golden hour.

In the straightforward words of a Peerspace reviewer: “Amazing spot! Jen is a great host. I would recommend this location for any project.”

5. Capture that maternal glow in a natural light studio

This bright and spacious Gilbert studio is one of our favorite maternity photoshoot ideas in Phoenix for capturing dazzling maternity portraits. It’s an open space with huge arched windows, offering unobstructed mountain views while letting in lots of natural light. The furniture is modular and, as you can see from the photo above, includes a Christmas set during the holiday season.

The studio also has plenty of rave reviews, like this one: “Very successful social media content shoot! The lighting and decor instantly creates an elevated look. Love this space as always!”

6. An elegant home in Paradise Foothills

This home is a great choice for a sophisticated maternity photoshoot. With a Yamaha piano and a built-in recording studio, it’s perfect for the mother-to-be who plays a musical instrument. From a staged pose at the piano to relaxed shots in front of the fireplace, you’ll have a range of options to choose from for your shoot. Outside, there’s a yard featuring cacti and other native plants.

And check out this glowing review from a Peerspace reviewer who booked an event here: “One of the key aspects for the success of my business is highly dependent on the venue, experience, and environment…this property was literally perfect in every way. The property owner/manager, Anna, was the sweetest person in the world and super accommodating! She cared so much for the success of our event. What a wonderful host and remarkable person! I don’t think our event would have been the same without her. “

7. A luxury outdoor space in South Mountain Village

This luxury pool and patio is your go-to spot if you want to incorporate water features into your photos. With two pools and skyline views, this is a ritzy getaway at an affordable price. Stage your shots on the upper deck with views of the city, or wade into the swimming pool, which has a beach entry, an overhanging cave (with a waterfall!), and a Baja shelf. You can get dozens of creative shots at this 2,000-square-foot outdoor space just a short drive from downtown Phoenix.

A Peerspace reviewer shares: “Space was great! Tiffany was AWESOME to work with and was very prompt and informative with questions about her space.”

We especially adore the cottagecore porch that is perfectly furnished with pastel colors and florals for an exuberant and girly outdoor shoot. Within the home, you’ll also find tons of photoshoot inspiration, like the neon signs, floral and grass walls, the chandeliers, the pink rose wallpaper, and the pink furniture. There is even an outdoor mural that speaks perfectly to maternity, stating: live life in full bloom!

“The house is beautifully decorated and is exactly as the pictures depict,” shares a Peerspace reviewer, “The neighborhood was quiet and we found plenty of street parking. Tresnae, the host, was quick to respond and was most helpful. We would definitely use this space again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great venue.”

9. Lounge poolside at a lux boho bungalow

This venue combines a modern boho bungalow home with a stunning resort-style backyard for an impressive photoshoot idea. This unique boho jungle home is in Mesa and comprises 1,650 square feet of colorful and rustic space. The home is filled with lush plants, beautiful furniture, and fun decor that make any photoshoot here one to remember. But again, we’re partial to that backyard with the lounge chairs, orange tree, string lights, and pool!

But don’t just take our word for it, check out what Peerspace reviewers have to say: “Perfect space for my photoshoot. Hailey’s space was incredibly clean and well decorated that even my photographer was stunned at its beauty. The photos are 100% accurate and I would definitely recommend you book this space.”

10. A luxury ranch in Scottsdale

Finally, you’d be missing out if we didn’t mention this luxury 62-acre ranch that offers a beautiful photoshoot location just a short drive from Phoenix. Choose this venue if you want to pose with Saguaro cacti in the Sonoran Desert. You’ll have access to three barns, an arena, and an organic garden. There’s also a two-bedroom suite with a private outdoor pool available separately, plus a luxury travel trailer and bunkhouse where you can stay comfortable between shots.

In the words of a Peerspace reviewer: “Can I say, probably the best Peerspace booking I’ve ever had. We really had a great time filming here. The location was magical & the owners/hosts were super helpful and accommodating. To add a cherry on top, we had some amazing conversations!”
