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. 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 best when you are near the end of your pregnancy, ideally from 28 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. These will be memories you will treasure forever.
Showcase your beautiful pregnancy in a way you will remember in a timeless portrait.
Maternity photography sessions are the one kind of session where mums-to-be feel very different. Your bodies have changed and we are worried what we will look like in the photos.
Please don’t worry about feeling self-conscious or how your body has changed. That’s completely normal during pregnancy.
With guided posing, flattering lighting, thoughtful props, and subtle editing, you’ll look and feel like the beautiful mama you are
Many mums-to-be have never had a professional shoot and often feel nervous at first. However, every single one has told me it was a comfortable, amazing experience by the end. My job is to capture this special time and create beautiful images you’ll treasure forever.
And yes—we’ll have a giggle along the way too!
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.

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. Images from my own portfolio is preferred. 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 and some ideas will not be able to recreated. It is important that you look through my portfolio as to what is possible and that my style meets your expectations. Please do let me know before your session date so that the session can run as smoothly as possible on the day and if any items need to be purchased, if 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.
Maternity Photography Gallery
Clients can view their full gallery of around 30–40 images in colour and black and white. I carefully select and edit the best photos from the maternity session. Clients are then able to make their selection of their chosen images/package upgrades and wall art selections
