The Maternity Experience

Thank you for your interest in the Maternity Experience! The moments before your beautiful baby arrives is something so unique and so precious. It is an experience so unique that it should be celebrated as your body does its miracle work. Maternity photography sessions are really about you, capturing you as you bloom into motherhood. I offer all my clients a relaxed, gentle and bespoke experience that includes professional hair and makeup and client styling.

My work begins with you. I will listen to your aspirations and desires for your maternity shoot. Together we will produce a mood board that will ensure we create a gallery of stunning images that are tailored to you. It truly is a great privilege to take images of mothers in this moment of their life. There is a wonderful stillness about you when you are pregnant, an inward focus and contentment, and knowing that you are doing something so wonderfully amazing. You are literally creating a new life inside your body. We all have a beautiful vision of breezing through pregnancy with a wistful glow. But many of us, certainly I did, find that last month pretty hard going.

Therefore, it’s my job as a photographer to provide an unforgettable and relaxing experience and to create stunning portraits that celebrate you and the miracle inside you; and to do this I ultimately aim to capture the love between you and your unborn baby.

I know there’s nothing more wonderful in a family home than a beautiful photo gallery showing highlights of your family as it grows and changes. To capture these special moments even further, I also offer a range of products to help my clients showcase their images in their homes.

Studio maternity photography
  • I recommend between 28-32 weeks of gestation

  • I usually recommend booking a Maternity Experience when you turn 12 weeks of gestation.The shooting instead will take place between 28 to 34 weeks of gestation. This is so that your bump is nice and round, but before the final weeks when you can feel more uncomfortable and tired.

  • Maternity sessions usually take 1 hour. In that time, I aim to do a variety of poses, setups, and outfit changes. I also include images with your partner and other children if desired. The sessions are never rushed and designed to be a relaxing and stress-free experience.

  • All Maternity Experience sessions are tailored specifically to you. I will work closely with you and learn from your ideas and expectations by sharing a questionnaire too make sure that your vision becomes a reality. You will have access to my luxurious client wardrobe, a selection of beautiful gowns to make you feel beautiful. The client closet is offered in all my sessions and it’s my business superpower!  Once your session is booked, I will send you a Maternity Guide with plenty of tips on how to prepare for your photo session and the client wardrobe catalogue.

  • Absolutely. Professional hair and makeup artistry is recommended for stunning portrait, so you can sit back and relax before your maternity session begins. I work with a highly qualified professional artist who produces wonderful results that complement my style of photography. The make up session is available on request and with an extra cost of £90.

    Unfortunately, I am not able to provide makeup for the outdoor sessions.

  • I work from my home studio in North West London. The studio is a 2-minute walk from Dollis Hill Station (Jubilee line) in Willesden, NW10. For clients driving I am providing parking for no additional cost. I am also able to shoot outdoors for Maternity sessions and have sourced a number of fantastic locations that we can use. Outdoor maternity sessions are seasonal from late May to late August

  • My Maternity Experience packages starts at £499.

    Packages are all inclusive (i.e. including digital prints) and do not include hidden costs. Please visit the Investment page for full details.

  • After the photo shoot, you will be invited back to the studio around two/three weeks later to view your final gallery of images. Professional photo retouching is included in your session. I specialise in the most comprehensive and detailed editing using my vast experience as a photographer and University lecturer in this field. While we will focus on creating a natural look I will edit your photos to your liking.

  • Absolutely yes. For a timeless and lasting memory, your beautiful images deserve to be displayed in high-quality photo-print and exquisite frames. I also offer a variety of à la carte products which I would be delighted to present to you.
