MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER, NORTH LONDON & HERTFORDSHIRE

I recommend booking your maternity photography session during your second trimester to ensure availability in my diary. I photograph a limited number of sessions each week to maintain a calm, unhurried experience, so booking in advance is always advisable.

Once your date is secured with a booking retainer, we’ll schedule your session for when your bump is beautifully defined, typically between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.

If you’re already further along, please don’t worry, get in touch, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate you where possible.

Maternity photography sessions typically last around two hours. This allows plenty of time for outfit changes, gentle posing guidance and a relaxed pace so you never feel rushed.

If you choose to add professional hair and makeup, please allow up to three hours in total, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the experience fully.

To ensure every client receives my full attention, I photograph a limited number of maternity sessions each week, allowing each session to feel calm, personal and unhurried.

I provide a small, carefully curated wardrobe of simple, elegant pieces designed to photograph beautifully and flatter your shape. These include soft, neutral-toned fabrics and form-fitting maxi dresses that gently highlight your bump in a timeless, understated way.

You’re also encouraged to bring a few outfits of your own, anything that feels comfortable, fits well and reflects your personal style. Soft knits, flowing fabrics and neutral tones tend to work particularly well.

Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a detailed preparation guide, and we’ll have a discovery call beforehand to discuss styling and ensure you feel completely prepared and confident on the day.

Yes, professional hair and makeup can be added to your maternity photography session for £125.

This is carried out by a trusted artist and is designed to enhance your natural features while keeping the overall look soft, elegant and in keeping with the timeless style of your portraits. The aim is never to look overly styled, but simply to help you feel confident and beautifully prepared.

If you would like to include this option, just let me know at the time of booking and I’ll arrange everything for you.

Absolutely. Partners and children are very welcome to be part of your maternity photography session.

Including your loved ones often creates beautifully natural and meaningful portraits that reflect this chapter of your family’s story. I gently guide everyone throughout the session to keep things relaxed and comfortable, especially for younger children.

If you’re bringing little ones, I’m happy to advise on timing to ensure the experience feels calm and enjoyable for everyone.

Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll arrange a short consultation and you’ll receive a preparation and styling guide so you feel fully prepared for your session. This also allows us to discuss ideas and allows me to help realise your vision.

Your private online gallery will be ready approximately one week after your maternity session.

You’ll receive around 25–35 fully edited images to view at home, from which you can select your included favourites. Once your selections are confirmed, your high-resolution digital files will be delivered promptly via a secure online download link.

At this stage, you’re also welcome to expand your collection or explore fine art albums and bespoke wall art if you wish.

This is completely normal, and something many women quietly feel before their maternity session.

My approach to maternity photography is designed to be flattering, gentle and thoughtfully guided. I use natural posing, soft lighting and simple styling to create portraits that feel elegant and refined, without drawing attention to anything you’d rather not highlight.

You don’t need to know how to pose or feel completely confident before you arrive, that’s my job! I’ll guide you carefully throughout the session, so you feel comfortable, supported, and beautifully captured just as you are.

In fact, many of my maternity clients tell me at the end of their session how relaxed and enjoyable the experience felt. The atmosphere is calm and unrushed, allowing you to settle in and trust the process.

And while my aim is always to create beautiful images in-camera, subtle professional retouching is included where needed, gently refining temporary skin concerns or small distractions, while always keeping you looking natural and true to yourself.

My style of maternity photography is refined, elegant and understated. I do not offer fully nude maternity sessions.

However, I can create implied nude portraits using carefully styled, neutral-toned undergarments and thoughtful posing. Where appropriate, professional retouching can be used to maintain a natural and seamless finish.

The focus is always on creating timeless, tasteful images that feel sophisticated and true to my signature style.

My maternity photography studio is based in High Barnet, North London, close to the Hertfordshire border.

I regularly welcome families from across North London and surrounding Hertfordshire areas, including Finchley, Hampstead, St Albans, Radlett, Potters Bar and Borehamwood.

The studio is calm, private and easily accessible by car, with convenient parking available nearby.

Maternity photography sessions are available Monday to Saturday.

As I photograph a limited number of sessions each week to maintain a calm and personalised experience, Saturday appointments tend to book further in advance. If you have a specific date in mind, I recommend getting in touch early to secure your preferred time.

Your private online gallery will be ready approximately one week after your maternity session.

You can expect to view around 25–35 carefully edited images, each refined with a natural, timeless finish. From your gallery, you’ll select your included digital collection, with the option to expand your selection if you wish.

Once your choices are confirmed, your high-resolution digital files will be delivered via a secure online download link. At this stage, you may also choose to invest in luxury print collections, handcrafted albums or bespoke wall art for your home.

The Maternity Photography Experience is £700 and includes your fully guided portrait session and 10 professionally edited high-resolution digital images, each provided in both colour and black and white.

You’ll receive a private online gallery to select your included images, with the option to expand your collection or invest in handcrafted albums and bespoke wall art for your home.

A £250 booking retainer secures your session, with the remaining balance due the day before your appointment.

Everything is outlined clearly from the outset, so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
