The Pennypics Approach to Maternity Photography
Confidence · Radiance · Presence
Every maternity portrait session at Pennypics is photographed personally by Paola Perni.
Pregnancy portraits require sensitivity to light, form, and emotion. With calm guidance and careful composition, you can feel comfortable in front of the camera while creating portraits with presence, confidence, and clarity.
Expect a considered experience.
Your Maternity Portraits
Studio, home and outdoor settings each shape the atmosphere of your maternity portraits in a different way.
There is no single right setting. The best choice is the one that supports the kind of maternity portraits that feel most like you.
Maternity Portraits in Studio
A refined portrait experience shaped through carefully controlled light and composition.
In the Pennypics studio in Kennington, beautifully shaped light and precise direction create maternity portraits with presence, clarity and timeless elegance.
Ideal for individual portraits and couples.
Maternity Portraits at Home
A maternity portrait experience created in a place already connected to your life.
Paola brings professional lighting, direction and photographic care into your home, while keeping the character of the space present in the portraits.
Partners or children can be included naturally.
Maternity Portraits Outdoors
A relaxed outdoor portrait experience shaped by seasonal atmosphere.
For mothers-to-be who feel most themselves outdoors, these portraits are guided by landscape, light, and the quiet rhythm of the London seasons.

Maternity Portraits Across London
Pennypics photographs maternity portraits across Greater London, from the Kennington studio to private at-home sessions and carefully chosen outdoor locations across South West, Central and West London.
Some mothers are drawn to places that hold personal meaning: a quiet corner near home, a favourite neighbourhood park, or a place where the family story began.
The setting should support the atmosphere and result you have in mind.
When Should You Book Your Maternity Photoshoot?
Most maternity portraits are photographed between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
This timing usually offers the most flattering stage for a maternity photoshoot, when your bump is beautifully defined and you still feel comfortable and confident.
Booking around a month in advance, or earlier, gives you more choice of dates and a little more peace of mind.
Later maternity sessions are still possible depending on availability.
