A Maternity Portrait is a unique and precious way to capture your baby’s first impact on the world, and for the mum-to-be it is a chance to sit back, be pampered and celebrate the beauty of pregnancy. The ideal time for the Maternity Shoot is between 34-37 weeks as the bump is nicely rounded and full at this stage, but last trimester tiredness isn’t yet in full swing! I have a selection of gowns and accessories and you are free to bring along momentos and scan pictures etc.
I also offer a ‘Bump2Baby‘ package which includes both a Maternity Shoot and a Newborn Shoot, plus a choice of Frame, Print and Digital Collections. Details are on the Newborn Page.
Partners and siblings are more than welcome to join in the fun on both Maternity and Newborn Shoots. We will look in detail at wardrobe choices and styling the shoots when you book but ideas can be found on my Pinterest site and the Facebook page.
Step 1: Secure your Date
Maternity Portrait – 90 minute shoot
- £70 Monday – Friday
- £95 Saturdays
This fee secures your date in my diary and is payable on booking.
Maternity and Newborn Portraits often take place at your home as this is the most comfortable place for such an intimate session. If you have a particular location you’d like me to consider in addition or instead of your home, please do let me know so I can do some research – not all public places will be suitable due to available light and access. I also have some favourite venues I can suggest for more dramatic and scenic backdrops.
In the warmer months, Outdoor Sessions are possible and will generally take place in the morning or evenings when the available light is most favourable.

Once we have enjoyed the first shoot together, my clients will book regular return visits to for Family Shoots on special birthdays, at Christmas time and as part of a Gift Experience for friends and family. I often welcome my ‘Bump2Baby’ clients back for 1st Birthday celebrations, Golden weddings, decade celebrations for extended family, or just a treat for mum on Mother’s Day.
In fair weather I offer Outdoor Portrait Shoots in the surrounding countryside. Please have a look at my Gallery for examples of both Indoor and Outdoor Family Portraits.
