Capturing your family memories
Maternity Session
Styled sessions in the comfort of a bespoke private studio
Being pregnant is a special & magical time - so why would you not want to capture it?
I can do studio session maternity shoots or outdoor maternity shoots (depending on weather and your preference) The ideal time to book your maternity photography session in is around the 25th-29th week of pregnancy. This way you have a lovely recognisable bump but are not too uncomfortable and able to move around and pose comfortably.
​
I carry a small range of maternity gowns that are floaty and sheer - I'm happy to offer these at your session. I also recommend something plain and comfortable like a stretchy cotton dress. This should nicely show bump and allow for a nice range of images for you to treasure.
​
The maternity photography session is an 1 hour shoot at the studio or on a location of your choice. The maternity shoot can be booked along side the Newborn photography session (this lasts 2 hours) at a discounted rate.

How many people can I include?A mini family session can include up to 4 people. If you have a larger or extended family session, this will not be a 'mini' session and would be one of the otyher family sessions. If you have a query on the amount of people you'd like to involve just send me an email and we can discuss your requirements. Newborn Sessions can include parent and sibling shots. As I have a small studio and especially if you have toddlers, I'd recommend doing these first and someone being available to take little ones to the park or out for the rest of the session. General family sessions can be for 2-5 people. I am able to do larger groups but this would have to be discussed on a specific basis. I love capturing large family groups but this can take a little prep work on my side :)

What do I need to bring to my session?For a newborn session - you would need to bring whatever would make you and baby comfortable for a period of around 2 hours. So milk, burp clothes, nappies, dummy (if has one) etc. I provide all the outfits, props and wraps needed to style the session. For a family session, just ensure everyone is ready in the outfits you've chosen for the session. And ready with their smiley faces :) For a Cake Sash session, you should bring the cake and the outfit you'd like them in for the initial mini session. If you want a different outfit for their cake smashing that's absolutely fine. If you've opted for a 'Splash' session added then please bring along babies usual bubbles and a towel for afterwards. I'll provide all the decorations in the specified colour(s).

How long will my photos take?I edit all images sent out to you to improve the quality of your images. Each one is hand edited to remove flaky skin, blemishes and spot. I also adjust lighting, the crop and backdrops to create a beautiful all over image that you'll love. This amount of detail takes a little time, so your finalised images will be back with yo within 3-4 weeks depending on the capacity of the studio. After our session I'll let you know roughly how long they'll be.
