Maternity Photography
So, you’ve begun your very special journey? Congratulations on your little one on their way! Are you ready to make those exceptional moments memorable?
Pregnancy is such a beautiful, fleeting chapter - the excitement, the little kicks, the growing bump and the anticipation of finally meeting your baby. I’m here to capture this special time for mums and families in Maidstone and across Kent, creating beautiful memories of this little chapter before your baby arrives.
Pregnancy
is a magical time even if sometimes it feels like the exact opposite. The truth is - pregnancy is a hard work and it should be celebrated! It's just amazing what our bodies are capable of, nurturing and growing little human being!
Treat yourself with a beautiful maternity session tailored to cherish your beauty and uniqueness during your wonderful journey.
Time frames
Pregnancy is an exceptional state, though it seems like forever sometimes, in a blink of an eye we are not pregnant anymore. It is SO worth capturing! The ideal TIME FRAME for maternity photoshoot is in between 26th and 32nd week of pregnancy and up to 36th week. Have in mind that these are only recommended time frames and the photoshoot date usually depands on how you and your little one feel!
What to expect from your maternity session
Your maternity session is all about celebrating you, your beautiful bump and this very special chapter before your little one arrives. I have a selection of maternity gowns, long tulle skirts and bodysuits available for you to choose from, but you are always welcome to bring something of your own - the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and completely yourself. Sessions can take place in my home studio or outdoors, depending on the look and atmosphere you have in mind. I usually love soft pastel colours and natural earthy tones, keeping the focus on you, your beautiful bump and the emotions of this special time. The ideal time for a maternity session is usually between 26–32 weeks, although every pregnancy is different, so we can choose a time that feels right for you and your little one. Most of all, I want your session to feel relaxed, personal and completely yours, creating photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.
Parents & Siblings are welcome
Pregnancy is a time filled with anticipation, change and the quiet excitement of imagining life with your little one. As a maternity photographer, I love capturing this special time in a way that feels personal to you. Including your partner and older children in your maternity session allows you to preserve not only the beauty of your pregnancy, but also the connection you share as you prepare to welcome someone very special into your lives. For older children especially, being part of the session can help them feel involved in this exciting new chapter from the very beginning. We’ll keep things relaxed and natural, capturing cuddles, little interactions and those genuine moments between you. And of course, if your family has a furry member too, they are welcome to join in - I’d love to capture this special time with everyone together.
Frequently asked questions
What should I wear for my maternity session?
You have plenty of options! I have a selection of maternity gowns, long tulle skirts and maternity bodysuits available for you to choose from. You are also very welcome to bring something of your own, whether that is a favourite outfit, beautiful underwear or something that simply feels like you. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable, confident and completely yourself.
Can we bring our family pet?
Yes! If your pet is part of the family, they are welcome too. I would love to capture some photographs of everyone together and include your furry family member in this special chapter.
Should I have my hair and makeup professionally done?
Professional makeup is definitely worth considering for your maternity session, as it can help you feel extra special. Of course, it’s entirely up to you, and doing your own makeup is absolutely fine too. For hair, I personally love a natural, loose look, but the most important thing is choosing a style that makes you feel beautiful and completely yourself.
What colours work best for a maternity photoshoot?
I usually love soft pastel colours and natural, earthy tones because they keep the images timeless and allow the focus to stay on you, your bump and your connection with your family. However, your photographs should feel personal to you, so I'm always happy to hear your ideas and preferences before the session.
Can my maternity session take place outdoors?
Yes! Maternity sessions can take place either in my home studio or outdoors. If you choose an outdoor session, we can discuss the location and the style you're looking for before the day. I can also bring a selection of maternity gowns for you to choose from.
What should I bring with me?
You don't need to bring lots of things. I recommend nude or skin-coloured underwear, preferably with detachable straps, and any special items you'd like to include in your photographs. High heels are completely optional, and if older children are joining, feel free to bring their favourite snacks or a small toy to keep them happy between photographs.
Maternity sessions
can be done both in my home studio or outdoor. Location to be discussed a few days before the session. You can also decide to have a little bit of both with the MIX package :)
