Your pregnancy is one of the most special times in your life. What better way to celebrate this incredible journey than with a maternity photoshoot? It’s a perfect chance to capture those precious moments and show off your beautiful bump. An outdoor maternity photoshoot in London’s stunning locations creates lasting memories and reflects the unique connection between you and your baby.
I didn’t have a maternity photoshoot when I was pregnant with my daughter, and I regret it to this day. My husband took a few photos with his phone, but they just don’t compare. The preparation, experience, and quality of a professional maternity shoot capture so much more—the excitement, the love, and that indescribable bond I felt. From the first flutter in my tummy to those little kicks, it would have been wonderful to look back on those memories through beautifully crafted images.
That’s why I’m passionate about helping you capture this special time. Years from now, when you look at your maternity photos, I want you to feel that connection all over again.
Capturing Your Unique Bond
A maternity photoshoot is all about celebrating the bond between you, your partner, and the new life growing inside you. Whether it’s your first baby or you’re adding to your family, this experience is unique. I strive to create a relaxed and personal session that reflects the love and joy you feel.
During our time together, we’ll highlight your gorgeous baby bump and capture the connection between you, your partner, and any older siblings. We’ll focus on those tender moments of anticipation, the smiles, and even the quiet reflections.
The Perfect Setting: Outdoor Maternity Photoshoots in London
All of my maternity photo sessions take place outdoors in beautiful London parks and green spaces. There’s something truly magical about blending the natural beauty of a park or garden with your pregnancy glow. London offers a variety of picturesque locations—from the open spaces of Hyde Park to the tranquil paths of Richmond Park, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you.
Outdoor shoots are perfect for catching the natural light, especially during golden hour, just before sunset. But don’t worry—if the weather is against us, we can always find a sheltered spot, like some nice café or reschedule for a day when the conditions are better. Cloudy skies often times are better, because the lighting is even and doesn’t create unpleasant shadows beneath the eyes.
Timing Your Maternity Photoshoot
I recommend scheduling your maternity photoshoot around 32-34 weeks pregnant. At this stage, your bump will be prominent and beautifully rounded, while still being comfortable enough for movement. If you’re expecting multiples or have an earlier due date, we can adjust the timing to suit your needs.
It’s a good idea to book your session early, ideally during the early weeks of your second trimester. We’ll plan around your schedule and preferences, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
What to Expect During Your Maternity Photoshoot
Every maternity session is tailored to you. Whether you want a candid, natural look or something more styled, I’ll guide you through the process. There’s no pressure to pose perfectly—just be yourself and let your connection to your baby shine. I’ll gently direct you when needed, but the best moments come from unscripted, genuine interactions.
If you include your partner or children in the session, we’ll capture lovely family moments too. These photos become part of your family’s story, making the session even more special.
Don’t Worry About the Weather
It’s natural to worry about the unpredictable London weather, but cloudy days can actually be great for photography! The soft, diffused light is incredibly flattering and adds a gentle, peaceful feel to your photos. And if it does rain, we can adapt by finding a sheltered spot or even heading to a cosy café for some unique and intimate shots. Cloudy days offer beautifully soft light, so we can still capture stunning images, no matter the weather.
All Successful Images Just For You
I keep things simple, offering you all the successful images from our session—typically between 80 to 100 photos. This gives you plenty to choose from without the hassle of selecting a limited number. Once the shoot is complete, you’ll receive all the softly edited images in a private online gallery, allowing you to download and print them wherever and whenever you like.
It’s all about making sure you have the freedom to enjoy your photos in a way that suits you.
