When Should You Book Your Maternity Photoshoot?

The ideal time to book your maternity photoshoot is usually between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, most expectant mothers have a beautifully defined baby bump while still feeling comfortable enough to move, pose, and enjoy the experience. Your bump has that lovely rounded shape that photographs so well, but you’re generally not yet at the stage where everyday movement starts to feel more tiring.

Of course, every pregnancy is different and some mums feel fantastic well into their 35th or 36th week. The most important thing is choosing a time when you feel confident, relaxed, and excited to celebrate this special moment.

All maternity photography sessions take place in a stunning studio located at 20 Canham Road, WR3 7SR, close to Chiswick, Kensington, Richmond, Ealing & Fulham.

London Maternity Photography Studio

London Maternity Photography Studio offers an exquisite, bespoke sanctuary in the heart of West London, conveniently located near Chiswick, Kensington, Richmond, Ealing, and Fulham. This beautiful space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the radiant beauty and sensual elegance of your pregnancy, creating timeless, fine-art maternity portraits that capture the graceful curves of your growing bump and the profound essence of impending motherhood.

Every session is an indulgent experience tailored exclusively to you—where soft, flattering lighting, premium styling, and an atmosphere of serene sophistication allow you to feel utterly relaxed, empowered, and celebrated.

What to Wear to Your Pregnancy Photoshoot

For your pregnancy photoshoot in my West London studio, choose outfits that celebrate your radiant curves. I suggest opting for bodycon dresses or gowns in soft, solid colors like blush, ivory, deep jewel tones, or classic black—these highlight your beautiful bump while flattering under studio lighting.

Sunglasses combined with a funky faux fur coat or black body-hugging maternity dress add an element of fun to your pregnancy photoshoot.

Many clients love bringing a fitted bodysuit, off-the-shoulder top, maternity tights or stockings for variety, allowing us to capture both graceful full-length shots and intimate bump-focused details.

These luxurious styles help transform your session into heirloom artwork—feel free to bring a few options, and I'll guide you to the most flattering looks!

Of course just bring yourself for the maternity nudes!

What not to wear? It’s best to avoid busy patterns, large logos, or thin stripes, and prioritise stretchy, comfortable outfits that make you feel confident.

Feel free to bring a few options, and I'll guide you to the most flattering looks.

Other tips for a successful maternity photography experience:

Skincare : Moisturise your skin, especially your belly, to avoid dryness.
Hair & Makeup: Consider professional make-up or styling for a polished look.
Nails: Ensure your nails are clean or manicured, as hands are often featured in many poses.

Your Guide to a Maternity Photoshoot in a London Studio

Pre-session preparation

Many mums-to-be choose Nemi Miller Photography because of my many years of experience as a maternity photographer in London. Expectant mothers often tell me they feel reassured knowing their maternity photoshoot is in experienced hands, allowing them to relax and trust that I will create the beautiful portraits they have imagined.

I always encourage clients to have a conversation with me before their pregnancy photography session. It’s important for me to learn a little about you, understand your expectations, and discuss the style of maternity portraits you would love to create. Every maternity photoshoot is personal, and this initial chat helps ensure your photographs reflect your personality and vision.

As every pregnancy is different, baby bumps can sometimes appear later than expected. Because of this, I occasionally photograph maternity portraits just days before a baby arrives. So if you feel you may have left it late, don’t worry — it’s rarely too late to book a maternity photoshoot in London and celebrate this special stage of pregnancy.

I recommend booking your maternity photoshoot during your second trimester to secure availability, as I photograph a limited number of sessions each week.
Your session will then be scheduled for when your bump is beautifully defined, typically between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
If you’re already further along, don’t worry — please get in touch and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you.
My maternity photography studio is based in Chiswick, West London, very close to Central London. It’s located at 20 Canham Road, W3 7SR.
Clients often travel from other surrounding London boroughs including Chelsea, Fulham, Kensington, Islington, Clapham, Ealing, Acton and Richmond.
The studio is calm, private and easily accessible by car, with convenient parking available nearby. The closest underground stop is Turnham Green on the District Line. Acton Central is nearby which is an overground station.
Professional hair and make-up is entirely optional for your maternity photoshoot. Many clients choose to keep things natural, as it often feels more like you and keeps the experience relaxed and enjoyable.
If you regularly wear make-up and feel most confident with it, you’re very welcome to come prepared in your usual style. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and like yourself on the day.

It’s completely natural to feel this way, and something many women experience before their maternity photoshoot.
My approach is gentle, flattering, and carefully guided. Using soft lighting, natural posing, and simple styling, I create elegant maternity portraits that highlight your beauty without drawing attention to anything you’d prefer to keep subtle.
Many clients leave their session feeling surprised by how calm and enjoyable the experience was. And while I always aim to create beautiful images naturally, subtle professional retouching is included to gently refine any temporary skin concerns, while keeping everything looking natural and true to you.
You don’t need to know how to pose or feel confident before you arrive — I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel relaxed, comfortable, and beautifully captured.
Apart from any clothing you would like to wear please bear in mind that studio lighting can be slightly drying, so I suggest bringing a nourishing lip balm or lipstick to keep your lips beautifully soft and camera-ready.

The Photoshoot

Apart from loving the end result, I would say that the photoshoot itself is the most exciting part of your experience. For a lot of women being pregnant is a once in a lifetime event.

Having your photographs taken in a professional photography studio is one of those bucket list experiences to tick off your list.

The excitement of going behind the scenes, the magic of studio lighting, seeing a professional camera (yes they are BIG) rather than snapping photos on your phone, having your photographs taken by a photographer who specialises in capturing maternity portraits and has over twenty years experience, all add up to you having a fabulous and enjoyable time during your session.
