Your photoshoot photographed your way.

Before the start of each pregnancy photoshoot I’ll ask to see how you would like your photographs to look. Some clients prefer to look joyous while others love to take the opportunity to bring out their inner Mona Lisa. I am here to guide you and of course you are welcome to have a selection of portraits with many different looks. Let’s have a fun and creative photo shoot with images which you will be wowed by.

Maternity Nudes

‘Bring nothing but an open mind and place your trust in me to capture nothing but extraordinary portraits of your pregnant self.’

I specialise in maternity nudes as they capture the changes your body is going through while carrying your growing baby. There is no better place to photograph these than in a photography studio which has been specially designed with maternity photoshoots in mind.

As an expectant mum, you are probably feeling a huge mix of emotions - excitement, anticipation and above all, the feeling of unconditional love for this new life growing within you.

As a professional portrait photographer, it’s my job to make you feel completely at ease and to enjoy every moment of your pregnancy photography session in my large photo studio. I am also great with dads-to-be too and ensure your session is a relaxed and fun experience. No stiff poses here!

It’s a great way to remember this special and exciting time in your life. I recommend any time after week 28 of your pregnancy as ideal time for your photo session. Or from week 24-28 if you are expecting twins. 

The Experience

BEFORE THE SESSION

I find a lot of mums-to-be prefer to rely on the many years of experience I have as a maternity photographer and trust I will capture the portraits they have dreamed of. I always encourage all my clients to have a chat with me as it’s important for me to find out a little about you. To find out about your expectations for your session and discover style of maternity photographs you have envisaged for your photo shoot.

As some bumps make a rather late appearance I do find myself shooting portraits as late as with just a few days before the birth of your baby. It’s never too late to have a pregnancy photography session!

  • My photography studio is located close to the centre of London at 92 Kew Road. TW9 2PQ. It's on right on the high street and only a five minute walk from Richmond Train Station.

    I do not photograph in parks or on outdoor locations as most require permits plus have too many people and dogs in the background.

  • Not sure if to bring your family to your maternity shoot? Most mums-to-be prefer to have a few hours of peace and quiet to themselves hence you don't see too many family photographs on my website. It's seems dogs are a bit easier to control and happier to sit quietly after showing off their obedience skills. Either way, family members (furry ones too) are very welcome to join you in your photoshoot.

  • Before your photoshoot, we’ll discuss the style of pregnancy portraits you would love for me to capture for you.

    Maternity Photography sessions last between one and a half to three hours. All depends on how many portraits you have in mind.

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 maternity portraits and has over fifteen years experience, all add up to you having a fabulous and enjoyable time during your session.

  • WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR PREGNANCY PHOTOSHOOT

    Of course nothing is required for the most popular maternity portrait I shoot in my studio. You may have guessed it's a maternity nude!

    If you are not keen on baring all, then do bring something that accentuates your bump.

    Of course I do have a full client wardrobe in my photography studio. It includes maternity photoshoot dresses, white Hawes & Curtis shirts from famous Jermyn Street tailors (perfect with jeans of just underwear), crop tops and even black underwear in case you forget to bring some with you. And yes, you do take it home with you!

    Just bring yourself and let me work my magic on you.

  • Yes and if fact I prefer to photograph my clients on weekends are they tend to be a lot more relaxed. You can choose to have a session in the morning or in the afternoon. Late afternoon photoshoots are also available if it suits you better.

  • I do recommend a few great salons with are close to my studio. Both are very experienced and make you look stunning. I always recommend you have a clear idea of the look you are after to ensure the end result is how you imagined it to be.

    Of course a lot mums-to-be either add just a tiny amount of make-up or even none at all. I want you to feel happy and comfortable during your photoshoot so go with what makes you look and feel like the real you.
