The long black dress is one of the most requested in the studio collection, and it’s easy to see why. It covers everything while still showing the shape of a bump clearly, which makes it a good option for anyone who doesn’t want to bare any skin but still wants the bump front and centre.

It’s also floor-length and very comfortable, which matters more than it might sound at eight or nine months pregnant.

Several of the other studio dresses open at the front if you’d like to show more, but this one keeps everything covered. Worth knowing when you’re choosing your options on the pre-session form.

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.
