The beginning....​

The beginning....​

What better way to remember the wonder, the love, feelings and emotions of such a special time for your family, than a maternity shoot?

Love already connects you and your baby but during pregnancy you might not feel like yourself. There’s a lot of changes going on. Some of them chip on our self-confidence and play on our insecurities. There can be a sense of grief and a fear of the unknown…

However, pregnancy is also a time of anticipation, excitement, connection, strength, and empowerment. There’s the new sensation of stroking your belly, the kicks, the knowing you can do this…

I want you to remember all these feelings.

Pregnancy sessions are simple and done in a style that suits YOU! 

Shoots can either take place in my home-based studio (in Leigh on Sea, Essex) or in your preferred location. It’s a fun and relaxed photoshoot, and my goal is to capture those moments and real interactions that show the love you share with your partner, your unborn baby and as a growing family. This will be a no-stress photo shoot experience!

I would advise you to book maternity sessions in advance, ideally to take place between 30-37 weeks gestation, but please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime.

Partners and your children are very welcome to take part in the photoshoot.

Pricing

Photoshoot pricing is separated into 2 stages: session fee and digital photo collections plus products.

Session fee for pregnancy photoshoot is £95.

Usually, within 1 week from your photoshoot, you will receive a link to a private gallery to preview all your images in the comfort of your own home or online viewing can be arranged upon request (please do not hesitate to ask).

Digital collections and products are purchased after you have viewed your images so that you buy only what you love! Collections starts at £250.

Please note, the session fee does not include any photos. For full information on collections and products available please click on button below.
