Whether you opt for a studio, home or outdoor shoot chasing the sunset with me, we will capture some magic together.
My studio is based at my home so I can provide you with the ultimate home-from-home experience. This means that even if you aren't feeling your best, I have everything that you might need to ensure you are comfortable.
I promise that however your pregnancy has been, you will leave feeling empowered and confident with images you'll look back on with such pride.
You are doing the hardest thing, Mama. You deserve to have this time to feel your best.

Fancy getting outside for your maternity shoot? Sunset and sunrise can look different across each of the seasons - all are equally beautiful but offer something different.
Winter brings deep contrast, dark backdrops but the most beautiful sunrises. It also allows for better timings for little ones with sunrise being around 7.30-8am and sunset being around 4pm.
Spring brings beautiful lighting, green trees and daffodils join the show! Timings tend to be around 6.45am for sunrise and 6-7pm and sunset being around 6-7pm.
Summer is.. well.. Summer. Glorious. Long, light evenings with golden hour lasting longer than usual. Luscious light green backdrops whilst also being wonderfully warm! Sunrise tends to be around 4.30-5am and sunset 9pm.
Autumn brings back that darker, deeper backdrop. Everything turns more brown and rich. It's still got a little warmth of the summer and the sun is divine. Sunrise is 6-7am and sunset is that little bit sooner, around 5pm.
I've reached out to all of my favourite local Mum and Baby specialists to get my Clients access to the BEST. As a thank you for booking with me, you will get a discount from all of the following. Simply get in touch with them and show your booking to access it.
