Silhouette maternity portraits are one of the most requested styles in the studio, and it’s easy to see why.

By using light and shadow deliberately, these images focus on shape rather than detail. The curve of a bump, the strength of a body, and that quiet moment between a mum and the baby she’s waiting to meet. Silhouettes strip away distraction. There’s no pressure to perform, pose perfectly, or feel a certain way. The result tends to be something calm and strong that feels very much like the person in it.

These images work well kept minimal, printed large, or paired alongside softer maternity portraits to give a fuller picture of this particular point in time.

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.
