Sometimes the right choice is your own clothes and a white backdrop. No elaborate set-up, no studio dresses, just a clean simple portrait with the bump as the focus.

This shot is a good example of how a pop of colour can do a lot of work in an otherwise simple image. Black dress, red sash, red flower. That’s it. The white background keeps everything else out of the way.

Sessions don’t have to follow one style from start to finish. Light and airy, dark and contrasty, minimal, dressed up, with props or without. There’s time to do more than one thing, and mixing a few different looks tends to give a more interesting gallery than sticking to just one approach throughout.

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.
