Real stories from parents and families who trusted us to photograph their most meaningful moments in Luxor, Egypt.
We booked a newborn session when our daughter was nine days old. The studio was calm, the lighting was soft, and Belmondo's team took about three hours to work through different setups. The prints we ordered arrived two weeks later and they look exactly like the previews — no surprises.
My wife wanted maternity portraits outdoors near the Nile. The photographer scouted the location beforehand and knew exactly where the light would fall at that time of day. The whole shoot took under ninety minutes and we left with 60 edited images. We didn't expect that many usable shots.
I reached out for a one-year milestone shoot for my son. I was nervous because he doesn't sit still, but the photographer had props ready, kept things moving, and worked with his energy rather than against it. The candid frames turned out better than any of the posed ones.
We did a full family portrait session with three generations — grandparents, our kids, and us. Coordinating seven people sounds chaotic but the team had a clear sequence and kept everyone relaxed. We had the digital gallery within ten days and grandma already has hers framed.
I came in for a maternity session at 32 weeks. Belmondo's explained each pose, checked in regularly, and let me take breaks. I was worried the photos would feel stiff but they actually captured how I felt during that time. Very straightforward, no pressure to buy extra packages.
We gifted a newborn photography session to our daughter after she gave birth. I didn't know what to expect in terms of pricing or turnaround. Everything was explained clearly upfront — session fee, number of images, delivery timeline. The baby photos are now the centerpiece of their living room wall.
