Are you looking for a maternity photoshoot to capture your beautiful glow for the years to come? If you've done some research, looking for a maternity photographer in the Hertfordshire area, you might have seen various styles and different pricing structures. But do you know what truly makes a maternity session extra special? Pregnancy is a time of transformation, beauty, and deep connection. Your body is growing new life, and every moment is worth remembering. You may not yet know what your baby looks like, but the love you feel is already immeasurable.


Having professional maternity portraits taken is more than just capturing your bump. It’s about preserving this fleeting moment—one where your body is powerful, radiant, and doing something extraordinary. Years from now, you’ll look back at these images and remember the wonder of carrying your child. Let me show you what a maternity session with me is all about!

When to Schedule Your Maternity Photoshoot


The best time for your maternity session is between 28-32 weeks when your bump is beautifully round, and you still feel comfortable. But if you’re further along—yes, even at 38 weeks—you can still have stunning photos. Every pregnancy is unique, and my goal is to create images that make you feel incredible no matter what stage you're in. If you like to plan ahead and want to secure your preferred date while having time to choose dresses and backdrops without feeling rushed, you can book your session anytime after your 20-week scan.


WHERE THE MAGIC TAKES PLACE (the studio) My home studio is a warm, welcoming space designed for comfort, flexibility and creativity. From the moment you step in, you’ll feel at ease. A cosy armchair awaits where you can relax before we begin, letting you settle in while we go over the details one last time. Everything will be set up and ready, just as we planned during the consultation, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.

At the studio, you will find

  • Elegant maternity gowns designed to highlight your bump beautifully

  • Multiple coloured backdrops allow for variety, and we’ll mix and match to suit your style.


What to Expect During Your Session


Your maternity photoshoot is tailored to you. It can be as simple as wearing jeans and a shirt for a relaxed, natural look or as artistic as an elegant portrait inspired by a painting, where light, fabric, and posing come together to create a timeless piece of art. Whether you want soft, intimate portraits or dramatic looks, we’ll create something you’ll love. A Personalised Experience


Every body moves differently, and every pregnancy is unique. My expertise allows me to find the best poses and expressions for you, ensuring you look and feel your best. You may already have ideas about how you want to be photographed, and I encourage you to share them. But trust that I might see something you haven’t seen in yourself yet—something breathtaking, strong, and completely new.


Including Your Partner


Your partner is welcome to join the session and assist behind the scenes, helping to toss flowing fabrics or adjust your gown. He can be hesitant at first, but he will be grateful when the final images are delivered.


Nude Maternity Photography


If you are interested, nude maternity portraits are an option. These are tastefully done, with posing that celebrates your body’s transformation without revealing private areas. Many mothers find that these images make them feel the most empowered and confident.

After the Session - The reveal!


To make the process quicker, we view and select your favourite images right after the session, face-to-face. If you’re short on time and can't stay longer, we can always schedule another day that works for you. Once I know which photos you love the most, I’ll enhance them beautifully, and in about ten days, you’ll be able to see the final results.


Your Legacy - What do you leave behind?


These photographs aren’t just for you. They’re for your child, who will one day look at them and see how much they were loved before they even arrived. This is your chance to capture a unique moment.
