I remember watching as my bump grew, I was amazed by how my body had the ability to grow something and carry it contained within my ever expanding waistline over those 9 months.

I still look back on photographs of my bump and just how large it got in that final trimester. For many of us, it’s not something we’ll experience many times in our lives and it really is a miraculous time.

If you would like to capture your bump in all its glory and have wonderful images to help you remember just how amazing your body was during those final few weeks, then let me help you photograph the story of your tiny little one before they even arrive. These images make for a lovely keepsake and something your little one can look back on in years to come, knowing that this was where their wonderful life began.

Location

I  offer studio sessions at my home studio in Epsom. I have a home studio designed for your comfort where I can provide you with a relaxing experience and refreshments.

Your maternity session will be completely designed around you. I have a small selection of maternity dresses which you are welcome to use or you can, of course, wear whatever clothes you are most comfortable in. If you decide you would like tasteful images of yourself wearing very little then I want you to know that your privacy will be 100% protected.

Most women choose to photograph their bump at around 36-37 weeks, not leaving it too late for a surprise early arrival but allowing enough time for their bump to grow. It is entirely up to you at what stage you wish to have your session, just let me know your preferences when booking.

 What to Wear

I currently have a small selection of dresses available for you to wear during your maternity session. They are either stretchy or the fabric splits under the bust to allow for all size of bumps. For more petite ladies the fabric can be gathered & pinned at the back.

The dresses include the blue and white dresses in the images above. The blue dress can be colour changed as in the image of the pink/purple dress.

Alternatively, you can wear whatever clothes are most comfortable for you. A quick browse on Pinterest for Maternity photographs will give you plenty of ideas if you’re looking for some inspiration.

Retouching

I know from personal experience that not all pregnant ladies glow, I also know that water retention, cellulite and stretch marks might be something that perhaps puts us off wanting to show off our bumps in front of a camera. If you would like photographs of your bump and you’d like for it to be on show but you’re worried about any of the above then please know, they are all fixable in Photoshop.

Of course, if you’d prefer to have your images showing all the natural changes just as they are that is perfectly ok too. I will ask if you would like some/no retouching at your session.

When to have your session

This again is completely up to you but most women choose to have their maternity photographs taken around 36-37 weeks pregnant, not leaving it too late for a surprise early arrival but allowing enough time for their bump to grow.
