A maternity photoshoot is about you and the marvelous journey of your pregnancy.

There’s nothing greater than to be able to give life and you, mamma, deserve to be celebrated and feel cherished for this phenomenal adventure. 

And I’m a friendly and camera-savvy gal who’s gonna help you create memories about one of the most important steps in your life.

I’ll guide you through poses that will only flatter you and make you feel at ease throughout the photo shoot. Most of the time I’m meeting women who haven’t had a professional photoshoot before and I realise how some of us can feel a bit camera-shy.

But because of my vast expertise, I’m sure that it’s going to be a wonderful experience for you. Nonetheless, I understand that being pregnant is not an easy job and I’ll make sure you won’t feel rushed and breaks are welcomed at all times. 

I highly recommend that you book your maternity portrait session for when you are between thirty-two and thirty-four weeks pregnant as past the eight-month mark you may feel too uncomfortable to do a maternity photoshoot. 

I am based in Kingsbury, North West London and my maternity shoot style is refined, unfading and most importantly, with character. (we don’t want any lifeless, vanilla-style photos, no no). As a maternity photographer, I love photos that are straightforward, yet gracefully striking. I enjoy photographing fully covered maternity portraits, as well as tastefully implied nudes. Many clients like to capture a combination of both, so you’ll have both intimate and more classic portraits. We will discuss your ideas for your portraits beforehand. 

Additionally, to maintain the foremost quality of service, I only take a limited number of bookings every month, so it’s never too early in your pregnancy to book a maternity shoot.

Please contact me to discuss your wishes, availability and book a maternity photo shoot.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Maternity sessions last about 1.5 hours and include up to 3 outfit changes, all taking place at my home studio in Kingsbury, North West London.

I will gently guide you throughout your session to perfect all the little details, and make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed during your maternity session.

Can My Partner Come?

Your partner and other children are welcome to participate in your maternity shoot. Please let me know how many children you have and their ages.

Are Outfits and Dresses Included?

Of course! I am proud to say I have a wide selection of stunning maternity gowns, bodysuits, and silk fabrics which are universal in size or a stretchy M and should fit most body sizes.

More importantly, I use my knowledge of posing and lighting to create flattering images straight out of the camera. Please check my portfolio for samples.

I also specialise in capturing tastefully nude portraits that showcase the beautiful curves of pregnancy. We will discuss the vision for your portraits beforehand. Once your maternity session has been booked, you’ll be receiving our preparation tips and style recommendations.

What if I Prefer Something More Simple? 

As thrilling as the constant hunt for new maternity gowns and accessories is, I also love to capture artistic and tasteful nude portraits that showcase the beautiful curves of your pregnancy journey that will last the test of time.

Will You Be Editing My Pictures?

I like to achieve the best results straight from the camera, and with a bit of gentle retouching. Don’t worry about swollen ankles, stretch marks, or tiny blemishes on your skin, I got you!

When should I book and how?

As soon as you have your 20-week scan. A £99 non-refundable retainer is required in order to secure your booking. This will be deducted from your final invoice.
