Bristol maternity photographer

A calm, confidence-led maternity photoshoot in Bristol

Pregnancy is a powerful, transformative chapter and it deserves to be documented with care. My maternity sessions are calm, confidence-led and personal, designed to help you feel strong, elegant and completely yourself. Through flowing dresses, thoughtful lighting and gentle guidance, I create images that celebrate both the woman you are now and the life you are growing.

Before the busy days of welcoming your baby, this time is just for you.

My private home studio in Portishead offers a quiet, relaxed space where you can slow down, feel comfortable and be well looked after during your maternity session.

The studio is designed specifically for maternity photography, with a small, carefully chosen collection of flowing dresses and fabrics that move beautifully and feel comfortable to wear. Each session is one to one and unhurried, with calm guidance throughout so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

You will be offered refreshments during your session, and everything is paced around how you are feeling on the day. My approach is gentle and supportive, with considered lighting, flattering angles and polished editing that enhances each image while keeping you looking like yourself.

Maternity sessions are usually photographed between 30 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you are still comfortable moving. If you are around this stage, get in touch and I will help you plan the timing for your session.

Maternity sessions are typically photographed between 30–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you’re still comfortable moving. You’re very welcome to book earlier in your pregnancy — many clients secure their session after the 12-week scan — and we’ll simply schedule the shoot for the ideal time as your due date approaches.

I don’t photograph pregnancy.

I create fine-art maternity portraits that celebrate power, softness, intimacy, and identity.

Bold. Emotional. Carefully crafted artwork that celebrates pregnancy exactly as you are.

You deserve to feel good in your body right now. Pregnancy changes you in so many ways, and this is a moment worth pausing for. A maternity photoshoot is a chance to celebrate what your body is doing and to feel confident, proud and completely yourself.

My maternity photography in Bristol is calm, supportive and centred around you. There is no pressure to perform or pose. I guide you gently throughout so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Is a maternity photoshoot right for you?

If you are wondering whether to book a maternity photoshoot in Bristol, the answer is usually yes, even if you feel unsure at first. Almost every client tells me they felt nervous about being in front of the camera. Every single one leaves feeling more confident than they expected when they see their images.

You do not need to be confident already. You just need to turn up. I will take care of the rest.

What to expect from your maternity photography session

Your maternity session takes place in my private home photography studio in Portishead, just outside Bristol. The space is calm, relaxed and designed specifically for maternity photography.

Sessions are unhurried and one to one. I guide you through flattering, natural poses that feel comfortable and look beautiful. The focus is on light, movement and connection, creating maternity photos that feel elegant and real rather than forced.

What to wear for your maternity photoshoot

If you are unsure what to wear, you are very welcome to use my studio wardrobe. I have a carefully chosen collection of maternity dresses and flowing fabrics that photograph beautifully and feel comfortable to wear.

You are also welcome to bring a few pieces from home if you would like, or mix your own clothing with items from the studio. I am always happy to help you choose what will work best for you and your session.

Capturing this chapter before everything changes

Pregnancy is emotional, powerful and deeply personal. There is already so much love here, even before your baby arrives. My approach to maternity photography is about capturing that feeling in a way that feels natural and true to you.

This is not about hiding your body or feeling awkward. It is about celebrating this chapter and creating images that you will always come back to.

Viewing your maternity photographs

Around one week after your maternity photoshoot, we will meet back at the studio for your viewing appointment. You will see your fully edited maternity gallery presented on a large screen, where you can take your time choosing your favourite images and any artwork you would love to have in your home.

When to book your maternity photoshoot

Maternity photoshoots are usually photographed between 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully defined and you are still comfortable moving. You are very welcome to book earlier in your pregnancy, and we can plan the timing together once you are ready.

If you are looking for a maternity photographer in Bristol who will help you feel confident, comfortable and genuinely looked after, I would love to photograph this chapter for you.

Some clients also choose a boudoir session either before or after pregnancy as a way to reconnect with their body and celebrate themselves beyond motherhood.
