The Pennypics Approach to Maternity Photography
Confidence · Radiance · Presence
Every maternity portrait session at Pennypics is photographed personally by Paola Perni and shaped around a calm, unhurried approach.
Pregnancy portraits require sensitivity to light, form, and emotion. With gentle guidance and thoughtful composition, you feel comfortable and confident while creating images that remain elegant and natural.
Expect a thoughtful, personal experience resulting in portraits that become part of your family’s visual story.
Choose the Setting for Your Maternity Photoshoot
The setting shapes the atmosphere of your portraits.
Some mothers are drawn to the quiet grace of studio light. Others feel most themselves at home or outdoors in open space.
There is no single right setting — only the one that feels most meaningful to you.

Maternity Portraits Across London
Pennypics photographs maternity portraits across Greater London — from the calm light of the Kennington studio to private at-home sessions and outdoor locations across South West, Central, West, and selected London settings.
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.
Each maternity portrait experience is shaped not only by light, but by the atmosphere you feel most connected to.
Your Maternity Portrait Experience
Your maternity portraits can unfold in different ways, depending on the setting, pace and experience you feel most drawn to.
Signature Maternity Portrait Experience
Studio and at-home maternity portraits begin with your Signature Portrait Experience, including thoughtful planning, your dedicated photography experience, professional refinement, and a complimentary 16×12″ mounted fine-art print — a lasting first piece of your family’s portrait archive.
After your session, your private gallery will be ready for viewing, allowing you to choose and buy the portraits that feel most meaningful to you.
There is no minimum spend and no pressure — only the freedom to build your collection thoughtfully.
Outdoor Maternity Portrait Experience
The Outdoor Portrait Experience is offered at a single price of £375, including your dedicated 90-minute outdoor portrait experience and 20 professionally refined digital portraits.
Shaped by the season, the light and the quiet rhythm of the location, this experience offers a clear, beautifully guided path from first planning to finished portraits.
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.
Reserving your session around a month in advance (or earlier) allows time to secure the setting you love and prepare your session without unnecessary pressure.
However, beautiful portraits are still absolutely possible later in pregnancy, and sessions can often be arranged at short notice depending on availability.

The Story Continues
Pregnancy often marks the beginning of a longer family journey.
Many Pennypics families return a few weeks later for newborn photography in London, continuing the story from pregnancy to the first quiet days of their baby’s life.
