Maternity Photography FAQs
When is the best time for a maternity photoshoot?
I recommend booking your maternity session between 28–34 weeks pregnant. Your bump is usually beautifully visible at this stage, while you’re hopefully still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
When should I book my maternity photoshoot?
I recommend getting in touch after your 20-week scan. This gives us plenty of time to find a date that works for you and ensures I have availability when you’re around 28–34 weeks.
How do I secure my booking?
A £25 deposit is required to secure your chosen date and time. Once your booking is confirmed, we can start planning all the lovely details of your session. This deposit is non refundable however it can be transferred when 48 hours notice is received.
What can I expect from my maternity photography session?
My sessions are relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance throughout so you never need to worry about knowing how to pose. We’ll chat beforehand about your preferred style, colours, outfits and which of my maternity dresses you’d like to use.
Do you provide maternity dresses?
Yes! I have a selection of beautiful maternity dresses available to use during your session. We’ll discuss your favourites during your pre-shoot consultation.
Can I bring personal items?
Absolutely! I love including meaningful little details. You’re welcome to bring things such as baby scan pictures, tiny booties, your baby’s first babygrow or a special knitted blanket.
Can my partner, children or pets be included?
Of course! Your session can be all about you and your beautiful bump, or we can include dad-to-be, siblings and even your furry family members. We’ll chat about this beforehand so everything is planned around you.
What happens during the pre-shoot consultation?
We’ll have a relaxed phone consultation before your session to talk through everything — your ideas, outfits, colours, maternity dresses and anyone you’d like to include. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions and make sure you feel completely comfortable before your photoshoot.
I’m not comfortable in front of the camera. Is that okay?
Absolutely! You don’t need any modelling experience. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session, helping you feel relaxed and creating natural, flattering photographs that you’ll love.
Why should I have maternity photographs taken?
Because this season of your life passes so quickly. I love capturing the beauty of your pregnancy and the excitement of waiting for your baby, so you can look back and remember just how special this time felt.
Are gift vouchers available?
Yes! Maternity photography makes a beautiful baby shower gift. Gift vouchers are available so you can give an expectant parent an experience and memories they’ll treasure forever.
