This one has a distinctly painterly feel, and that was intentional. The orange gown, the floral crown, the dark textured backdrop. It’s reminiscent of Flaming June, the Frederic Leighton painting, and that was the inspiration the client came in with.

It’s a good example of what happens when someone arrives with a clear creative vision. The session becomes something more specific than a standard maternity shoot, and the results reflect that. If you have an artistic reference, a colour palette, or a mood board you’ve been building, bring it. It gives the session a direction that’s harder to achieve starting from scratch.

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.
