Maternity Photographer Colchester

Maternity Photography

Maternity Photography

As a Maternity Photographer, it’s always a great joy to capture the excitements of pregnancy and the bond between a mother and her unborn child. Being pregnant is a journey that ought to be celebrated and remembered. Hence, it’s is memorable to capture the feelings and emotions of pregnancy through a maternity photography shoot and a family photography shoot.

I am an experienced photographer and my approach to maternity photoshoot is careful, elegant, relaxed and artistic. I will chat with you on your preferred style and use my experience to put you at ease to create beautiful pregnancy portraits.

The maternity photoshoot session can take place at the comfort of your own home, my home studio or at a preferred outdoor location. I will provide advice on the best clothing for the shoot depending on the shoot location, idea and style. It is not compulsory to show your bare baby bump – it’s always up to you. From experience, the best time to have a maternity shoot is between 30 weeks and 38 weeks as the belly will have a nice and round shape during this period.
