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 photographing your bump will create a long lasting memory.
Maternity (bump/pregancy) photohotography 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.
I am entirely led by your preferences, if you prefer the more posed session and glamourous shots I have gowns and props and I can talk you through all the posing. If you prefer your own clothes and a very simple shoot that is also perfectly fine.
Maternity shoots are the one kind of shoot where mums-to-be feel very different. Your bodies have changed, we dont feel the same, and we are worried what we will look like in the photos.
Don’t worry about feeling self conscious or that your body has changed from your pre-pregnancy life. This is completely normal and with 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 done 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.
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?
The aim is to 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 and walks of life. Come and share your beauty with us.
My private studio is set in a small courtyard within Tamworth Town Centre, which means it is very quiet. It is warm, inviting and fully equipped to provide you with a wonderful experience from start to finish.
With numerous gowns and accessories to choose from you will love getting dressed up, feeling glamorous.
Some frequently asked questions:
When should I book my maternity photography session?
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?
You will find 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 in. There is never any pressure.
Care will also be taken to pose you beautifully in a way that is tasteful and modest.
If you can, please bring a selection of underwear in black, white and nude tones if you have them
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.
Some clients that do wish to bear a little more ask me not to share these images. There is no requirement for you to either have these images taken, and also they can be kept for your private use. It is always best to see how you feel on the day.
Sessions include props and dresses (unless you wish to wear your own clothing)
Can my partner and/or children be included?
Absolutely!
This is a special time for you all and at 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?
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 (and for most of my clients this is certainly the case and of course this will be honoured as these are your images and memories of such a special time) but dont be scared to get in front of the camera and embrace such an exciting time in your life!

Newborn Photography: I absolutely love my job, it makes me so happy to share such a magical time with families
When is the best time to book your newborn session?
Whilst I do occasionally have last minute availability (it’s always worth messaging me to ask) the best time to book in is whilst you are still pregnant. I reserve newborn sessions in my diary from your 12 or 20 week scan using your due date. I am already taking bookings up to August with limited due dates remaining

I love photographing this age group so much, its why it formed my Craftsman panel. Their personalities shine through whether it's smiling, grumpy faces or those little expressions that are unique to them 😍
