Pregnancy is a time of transformation—both physically and emotionally. Maternity photography captures this fleeting stage, preserving memories that parents (and their children!) will cherish for a lifetime.
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your last or anywhere in between, these sessions provide a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate the incredible changes happening in your life.
This family came to visit my studio for their maternity photo shoot and, although they had selected from my range of maternity dresses to include, the super organised mum-t0-be had already ordered some of her own when she started the planning process. She actually had three stunning dresses to include but I will freely admit to having fallen in love with this red one. Although it looked incredible on her when photographed in a ‘standard lit from the front’ way, I think I love it even more with the light behind it. You still get the benefit of the stunning red colour but it highlights her shape even more.
And yes, I’m trying to track down this dress to add to my collection. In case you were wondering!
Why Choose a Maternity Photoshoot?
- Celebrate Your Journey – Your body is doing something amazing, and that deserves to be captured.
- Timeless Memories – These images become a keepsake, reminding you of the excitement and anticipation before your baby arrives.
- Confidence & Self-Love – Many women find that a maternity session helps them feel beautiful and empowered.
- A Special Gift for Your Child – One day, your little one will look back at these photos and see how loved they were before they even arrived.
When is the Best Time for a Maternity Photoshoot?
The best time to book a maternity session is typically between 28-36 weeks when your bump is beautifully rounded but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move and pose with ease.

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.
