MATERNITY SESSIONS

 

Pregnancy is such a beautiful and incredible chapter. Your body is growing, your family is changing and before you know it, you'll be holding the little person you've been dreaming about. It's a time filled with so much excitement, love and anticipation, yet this version of you only exists for such a short time - let's make sure you remember it!

My maternity sessions are about celebrating you, your growing family and the little person you're waiting to meet.  You don't need to know how to pose and you certainly don't need to feel like you're modelling for the camera. I'll gently guide you throughout the session, helping you feel comfortable and confident while capturing the connection, excitement and anticipation of this incredible time. Whether it's quiet moments between you and your partner, little cuddles with your children or simply celebrating your beautiful bump, I'll capture it all naturally.

FAQs

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK A MATERNITY SESSION?

I recommend securing your maternity session as soon as possible, this gives us the best chance of finding a date that works for you. I usually advise to book your session for when you're between 28 - 34 weeks. At this stage, your bump is beautifully defined wile you'll hopefully still be feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.

Every pregnancy is different though, so if you have a particular stage in mind, just get in touch and we can chat about what works best for you.

 

CAN MY PARTNER AND CHILDREN BE INCLUDED?

 

Absolutely! Your maternity session can be completely focused on you, or we can include your partner and little ones too.

I love capturing those moments between you as a family - cuddles, kisses, little hands on your bump and all the excitement of waiting to meet the newest member of your family.

 

how long does the session last?

My maternity sessions last up to 90 minutes. This gives us plenty of time to capture everything, without making the session feel rushed or tiring, especially if you're including your little ones.

what if i feel awkward in front of the camera?

That's completely normal!

You don't need to know how to pose or have any previous experience in front of the camera. I'll gently guide you throughout the session with simple prompts and direction, while keeping everything relaxed and natural.

what should i wear and how do i prepare for the shoot?

Whatever makes you feel comfortable, confident and beautiful. I'll send you a client guide before your session with advice on what works well for photographs, including colours, textures and outfit ideas. I also have a small client wardrobe with maternity dresses, should you wish to take a look just drop me an email and I can show you my options.

 

CAN WE HAVE OUR SESSION OUTDOORS?

 

Yes! I love photographing maternity sessions outdoors, especially during golden hour when the light is soft and beautiful. We can choose a location that feels right for you, whether that's the beach, countryside, woodland or somewhere that has a special meaning to your family.

 

what happens if the weather is bad?

 

Don't worry - we'll keep an eye on the forecast together. As I only book one session per day, I have some flexibility when it comes to timing the shoot if the weather really isn't on our side.

Gloomy skies and even a bit of wind can still create the most beautiful photographs, so we won't automatically cancel at the first sign of bad weather!

 

how much is a maternity session?

 

My maternity sessions are £300, with a £60 booking deposit to secure your date. The remaining £240 is due one week before your session. I accept payment by bank transfer only.

 

DO YOU OFFER NEWBORN SESSIONS TOO?

 

Absolutely! If you'd love to continue your story with me once your little one arrives, I'd love to capture those precious first days too. When you book your maternity session with me, you'll receive £50 credit* towards a newborn session. It's the perfect way to capture both chapters of your journey - from the excitement of waiting for your little one to those beautiful first weeks when they're finally here.
