Why book Deborah Longmore Photography?
Stunning maternity photography, with an emphasis on beautiful and timeless portraits.
Pregnancy is such a wonderful yet brief time in your life and capturing this special time will create a long lasting memory.
Maternity photography sessions are best when you are near the end of your pregnancy, ideally from 32 weeks onwards. This is to ensure the bump is a lovely round shape. Allow me to capture your beautiful bloom through a combination of natural and studio style photographs that you will treasure forever.
Showcase your beautiful pregnancy in a way you will remember in a timeless portrait.
About the Maternity Photography Sessions
I am entirely led by your preferences. If you would like the more “posed” session, I have gowns and props and I will talk you through all the posing. Alternatively, some clients prefer their own clothes such as jeans and shirts coupled with more relaxed posing. You could do both!
Maternity photography sessions are the one kind of session where mums-to-be feel very different. Your bodies have changed, we dont feel the same as we did, and we are worried what we will look like in the photos.
Please do not worry about feeling self conscious or that your body has changed from your pre-pregnancy life. This is completely normal and with guided posing, professional lighting, props and subtle editing, you will look and feel like the beautiful mama-to-be you are!I
Many mums-to-be have never had a professional shoot before and are very nervous, but every single lady has said to me at the end of the shoot that it was an amazing, comfortable experience. It is my job to capture this beautiful time in your life and showcase it in some stunning imagery for you to cherish forever. We can have a giggle too whilst we are at it!
Is there anything more incredible and beautiful than the sheer power of your body, changing and growing to bring new life into this world?
A maternity photography session is all about empowering yourself to honour your body and your growing family. Many clients visit me, whether it is their very first baby, or their last. Each pregnancy is so unique and different to the next. A maternity photography session is the perfect way to tell your story and document your journey.
Why have a pregnancy photoshoot?
Celebrate your journey at this incredible point in your life, to mark this joyous and exciting occasion.
Your pregnancy is the perfect excuse for a pampering, to get dressed up, made up to look your absolute best! To feel like a goddess or a star in a movie. Every mother-to-be is welcome, of all shapes, sizes etc. Come and capture how amazing you are!
With numerous gowns and accessories to choose from you will love getting dressed up and feeling glamorous.
Studio or Location?
My studio is set in a small courtyard within Tamworth Town Centre, which means it is very quiet and private. It is warm, inviting and fully equipped to provide you with a wonderful experience from start to finish. Also, a full length mirror is avaialble for you too! Location sessions are also available but these are weather and location permitted.

How to Book A Maternity Session
A booking fee of £100 secures your date in my diary
When booking a maternity photography session, there are a few options. You can either choose a full stand alone maternity session session, the maternity mini add on session which is purchased along with any newborn session, or a maternity session as part of a Watch Me Grow Package if you would like to book 2 further sessions.
Maternity Photography Frequently Asked Questions:
When should I book my maternity photography session?
You can book your maternity session as soon as you are ready, although it is recommended you book in from 20 weeks of pregnancy. This is to ensure that your chosen session date is available as I do book up in advance and there are only a limited number of sessions available each month. Your maternity photography session will take place at around 30-36 weeks of pregnancy. However, with each pregnancy being unique, this timing is flexible.
What should I wear to my maternity photoshoot?
I have a collection of beautiful dresses and accessories that can be used in your session to create a timeless feel to your images. It is important that you are true to your own personal style and what you feel comfortable with. There is never any pressure.
Care will also be taken to pose you beautifully in a way that is tasteful and modest.
Please bring a selection of underwear in black, white and nude tones if you have them. This does help with certain dresses.
I am not sure I want to go nude at my maternity photoshoot.
I am not sure I want to go nude at my maternity photoshoot.
Your session is tailored to your needs and requirements and whilst some clients want to have nude photographs, you do not have to. Many clients opt for fully clothed, to fabric wraps too. It is always best to see how you feel on the day.
Can my partner and/or children be included?
Absolutely!
This is a special time for you all and a maternity photography session it is a great way to capture such a special family moment. This is such an exciting time, whether it be your first, second or third baby.
Where is your Studio?
The studio is based in the heart of Tamworth Town Centre.
Of course, if you wish to choose to have your maternity photography session on location you can of course book this option
Will my images be kept private?
Absolutely! Privacy is taken seriously and your maternity images will not be used in any way without your PRIOR permission.
You may not wish me to share any images on social media. For most of my clients this is certainly the case. This will always be honoured as these are your images and memories of such a special time. Please dont be scared to get in front of the camera and embrace such an exciting time in your life!
I have a specific look I want to achieve, can you do this?
Please let me know on booking the type of images you would like to create. I know many people like to look up ideas on Pinterest and whilst I am happy to use images as inspiration, I will not directly copy other images and all work produced will be in keeping with my style and editing. Please do let me know before your session so that the session can run as smoothly as possible and if any items need to be purchased I have time to do so.
How long will it be until I receive my images?
Following your session, your images will then be edited and sent to you by way of an online gallery for you to choose your images. Editing can be between 2 – 4 weeks depending on the time of year and additional galleries.
