Feeling Nervous?

If you’re worried about posing, feeling awkward in front of the camera, or whether you’ll look good in photographs, please know you’re not alone. Almost every mum tells me this before their session! My job is to guide you every step of the way and create flattering, natural images that celebrate this special season of your life.

When should my session take place?

The ideal time for your maternity session is between 27-36 weeks of pregnancy.

At this stage, your bump is beautifully visible, but you’re hopefully still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.

What to expect?

My maternity sessions are relaxed, natural and family-focused.

You do not need to know how to pose or worry about being in front of the camera. I will gently guide you throughout the session, helping you feel comfortable and confident while capturing genuine moments and connections.

Partners and children are always welcome and encouraged to join in, creating a beautiful collection of memories for your growing family.

Choosing your location

Your chosen location helps create the overall feel of your gallery.

Whether you love open fields, woodland walks, lakeside views or countryside scenery, we’ll choose a location that suits your vision and style.

You can browse the available locations below and choose your favourites before your session.

What to wear

One of the most common questions I receive is, “What should we wear?”

The good news is that simple, timeless outfits always photograph beautifully.

If you’re unsure what colours to wear, a colour wheel can be a great guide.

Colours that sit next to each other on the colour wheel are called analogous colours. These colours naturally blend together and create a soft, harmonious look in photographs.



Colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel are called complementary colours. These colours provide contrast while still looking balanced and visually pleasing.

For example:

• Sage Green and Rust

• Navy and Camel

• Dusty Blue and Beige

• Terracotta and Soft Green











When choosing outfits for your session, think about coordinating colours rather than matching exactly. This creates a more natural and timeless

look while allowing each family member’s outfit to complement one another beautifully.

The easiest approach is to choose 2-3 main colours and build everyone’s outfits around those tones.

COLOURS TO AVOID

• Neon colours

• Bright logos

• Bold graphics

• Busy patterns

• Clashing colours



What should mum wear?

Flowing dresses, fitted maternity dresses, knitted outfits and soft textures photograph beautifully.

Choose something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Long dresses often create beautiful movement in photographs, particularly during golden hour sessions.

If you have access to my client wardrobe, details will be provided before your session.

Hair, Makeup & Nails

Professional hair and makeup can help boost confidence, but it is absolutely not essential.

The most important thing is that you feel like yourself.

Hands are often featured in maternity images, so just be mindful of this.

What if my children don't cooperate?

Please don’t worry!

Children are wonderfully unpredictable, and I never expect perfection.

My sessions are child-led and relaxed, allowing plenty of opportunities for little ones to explore, play and have fun while we capture genuine family moments.

What happens if it rains?

The British weather can be unpredictable!

I will keep a close eye on the forecast leading up to your session.

If the weather is unsuitable, we will simply reschedule for the next available date.

What to bring?

• Comfortable footwear for walking between locations
• A cardigan or coat during cooler months
• Water bottle
• Snacks for children
• Baby scan photos (optional)
• Special keepsake (optional)

After your session

Following your session, your images will be placed in to a proofing gallery for you to select your favourites!

After you have selected your favourites, your selected images will be professionally edited and delivered within 4 weeks.

All selected images receive professional editing and skin retouching, including the removal of blemishes and minor distractions where appropriate. My aim is always to create beautiful, natural images while keeping you looking like you.

MOST IMPORTANTLY....

Relax and enjoy the experience.

This season of life passes so quickly, and these photographs are about celebrating your journey into motherhood and preserving memories for your family to treasure for years to come.

I can’t wait to meet you and capture this beautiful chapter of your story.
