How much is a maternity photoshoot?

The session fee is £135, which covers my time, creative expertise, and all pre- and post-session guidance. This means you only purchase the images and products you truly love — once you’ve seen them. This fee includes: Personalised guidance and styling advice, A relaxed, artistic experience, Natural, accurate retouching, A complimentary 16x12 Matted Fine Art Print of your favourite image. Your private proofing gallery will be ready within two weeks, where you can select a digital package or printed artworks, choosing only what speaks to you most.

When should I book my pregnancy photoshoot?

The ideal time is between 28 and 34 weeks when your bump is beautifully rounded and you still feel comfortable and radiant. That said, every journey is unique — if you're a little earlier or later, we’ll tailor the session to your energy and preferences.

What should I wear for my maternity photoshoot?

Receive tailored advice on the most flattering attire for pregnancy photography — soft knits, flowing dresses, or timeless layers. You're welcome to bring outfit options or explore our studio wardrobe accessories.

Can my partner or children be in the photos?

Absolutely. These sessions are about honouring your family’s story, your way — so your partner, children, or your dog are warmly welcome to join.
