A babymoon is a way for parents to celebrate the coming of a new member to the family, and that, of course, needs to be commemorated.
✨ And the best way to show the excitement of your pregnancy in a beautiful destination is with a photo shoot.
In the photos, you’ll celebrate the new beginning in your family and capture an intimate moment between you and the growing life inside of you.
🌈 And one day, you’ll be able to create a photo album of all your babymoon, birth, and newborn photos and show your little one how happy life is throughout this journey.

The people have spoken, and the top spot to propose in Florence is 🥁🥁 Piazzale Michelangelo!
Piazzale Michelangelo is located atop a hill overlooking the entire city. The Duomo, Palazzo della Signoria, and Ponte Vecchio are all clearly visible, making it one of the most romantic and beautiful places to bend the knee! 💍✨
It is also a bit far from all the major tourist attractions, helping you avoid the touristy crowds, so the trek to the top of the hill is definitely worth it.
And even if there’s a bit of a crowd, couples can always find a private corner for an intimate proposal. 👉 Nearby Piazzale Michelangelo, there is a great spot near Basilica San Miniato al Monte with a staircase with a great view and far fewer people.
Does it sound like a place where you would like to pop the question? Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

Dubrovnik is a top summer destination, but did you know it`s even better during autumn? Yes!
Here are the top reasons why you should visit this stunning city:
🍁 The weather is perfect for sightseeing! The temperatures are milder, and the crowds are smaller, giving you the opportunity to explore the city at your own pace.
