Maternity Photography London — for every kind of mothering story
Whether you're seeking a classic maternity session to celebrate this special time or desiring a deeper, more introspective experience, I'm here to support your vision.
For those looking for a relaxed session that highlights the beauty of pregnancy, my classic maternity sessions offer a natural and heartfelt approach.
If you're drawn to a more profound exploration of your transition into motherhood, The Intimate Maternity Experience (TIME) provides a space for reflection and connection.
“You don’t need to feel ready — you just need to show up. I’ll meet you where you are.”
The intimate maternity experience (TIME)
A slower, more soulful way to honour your transition into motherhood.
If you’re craving something deeper than a standard session — something more intuitive, more intentional, more you — TIME was created with you in mind.
This offering goes beyond beautiful imagery. It’s a space to pause, reconnect, and be seen in the truth of this season. Whether you’re feeling joyful, raw, reflective, or all of the above, TIME meets you there.
Not sure if TIME is right for you?

“You’re not just growing a baby — you’re becoming someone new. Let’s honour that.”
Classic Maternity Sessions
A relaxed, meaningful way to document this season
Natural, connected, and gently guided — these sessions are for mothers who want to capture how it feels to be expecting, without the intensity of a styled or editorial shoot. We’ll move intuitively, letting calm, honest moments unfold in a way that feels true to you. No stiff poses, no pressure — just space to be present, to connect, and to honour this chapter.
Your wardrobe is an extension of your story. Whether it’s soft, flowing fabrics that feel like home or something simple that makes you feel your best, I’ll guide you in choosing pieces that feel effortless and truly you.
Sessions take place in natural light — at home or somewhere meaningful to you. This is a calm, creative experience for documenting the connection between you and your baby. A beautiful keepsake to remember how this season felt.

The best time to book your maternity session is between 25 and 33 weeks—when your bump is beautifully visible and you’re still feeling relatively comfortable. It’s a window that often holds something special: a deepening bond, quiet anticipation, and the strength of becoming.
It’s ideal to get in touch a few weeks ahead of when you’d like your session, so we can plan something that feels personal and relaxed. But if you’re further along—don’t worry. It’s never too late. If I can make space, I absolutely will.
-
Before your session, we’ll connect to chat through the mood, styling, and the feeling you want your images to hold. It’s all about creating something that feels honest to your experience—whether that’s quiet and tender or full of joyful energy.
Maternity and Motherhood sessions—whether at home or outdoors—typically last between 1 to 3 hours. There’s no rush. We move gently, allowing time for rest, laughter, and whatever unfolds naturally.
Around a week later, you’ll receive a private online gallery with your carefully hand-edited portraits—ready to revisit and hold onto, again and again.

A maternity session isn’t just about the photos—it’s about honouring this chapter of your story. From our first conversation to the moment your final gallery arrives, I’ll guide you with care so the whole process feels calm, thoughtful, and truly personal.
Sessions are held at home or outdoors, designed around your pace and preferences. After your session, you’ll have the space to choose from a collection of options that feel right for you—whether that’s beautiful fine art prints, a bespoke album, or digital files to treasure and share.
There’s flexibility built into the process, and I’m here to help you create something that feels just right—something lasting, meaningful, and made to be held onto.

After your session, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a range of thoughtfully curated collections—whether you’re drawn to fine art prints, a handcrafted album, or digital images to share and keep safe.
Every family is different, so the process is flexible and guided by what feels right for you. If you have questions or want to chat through the options, I’m always happy to help. Let’s make this experience as relaxed, meaningful, and beautiful as the season you’re in.

Absolutely. The beauty of photography isn’t just in what you see on screen — it’s in how it lives with you. On your walls. In your hands. In the quiet moments it brings rushing back.
Many families choose to turn their images into meaningful keepsakes: bespoke albums, fine art prints, or statement pieces for their home. I’ll help you choose what fits your space and style — no fuss, just honest guidance.
You can explore more on my Artwork & Albums page, or reach out if you’d like help deciding what feels right.
“These photographs will mean more with time — not because they’re perfect, but because they’re true.”

why Prints & albums matter
We take photos to remember — not just how it looked, but how it felt.
But memories aren’t meant to live in folders or disappear in the cloud.
There’s something powerful about holding a photograph.
A print invites you to pause. An album becomes a book of love — part of your family’s story.
The photos we return to are the ones we can touch.
Passed down, held close, full of meaning.
This is why I offer artwork made to last — so years from now, your child can turn the pages and feel the love in every image.
