Not every maternity session needs to focus on faces. Some people prefer something a little more understated, and face-free portraits are a good option for that.

When you remove the face from the frame, the attention shifts to hands, closeness, the shape of the bump itself. It’s a quieter style of image and it tends to hold up well over time precisely because there’s nothing to date it.

This session included traditional portraits as well, but these are often the ones that surprise people most when they see the gallery. Worth considering if you’re not sure you want to be front and centre in every shot.

Everything you need to feel relaxed and ready for your maternity session. Outfits, posing, props and more.

Maternity Photography in East Grinstead

My maternity sessions are very flexible affairs with my studio booked for an hour so we have plenty of time to create a really varied image gallery. You’re invited to select up to three backdrops and include up to three outfit changes so you can mix and match styles to create the perfect set of pregnancy memories.

I recommend booking your session between 28-36 weeks so you’re still comfortable and you’re also welcome to borrow any of my gorgeous maternity photo shoot dresses while you’re in the studio.  You select your pictures and order any more that you would like directly from your online gallery, there’s no sales or viewing session to attend.
