Pregnancy is a fleeting, powerful chapter in your story that deserves to be remembered. Whether this is your first pregnancy, your last, or somewhere in between, a maternity photoshoot gives you a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate everything your body is doing.
I offer calm, confidence-boosting maternity sessions in my Nottinghamshire studio or out on location, each session is designed to help you feel celebrated, relaxed, and completely yourself. These sessions are about so much more than your bump as they capture the love, anticipation, and quiet, meaningful moments of this special chapter before your baby arrives. The result is a collection of natural, timeless maternity photos that reflect your personality, your journey, and the incredible strength and beauty of this moment in your life.
I provide relaxed maternity photoshoots in Mansfield at my cosy, natural light studio, as well as outdoor maternity sessions at beautiful local locations in Nottinghamshire or the surrounding counties. Wherever your session takes place, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and completely yourself.
A maternity session with me is calm, relaxed, and centred entirely around you. Whether we’re shooting in my natural‑light studio in Mansfield or exploring one of Nottinghamshire’s woodland spots, parks, or open fields, the experience is designed to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident. I’ll guide you gently through natural poses and moments so nothing feels forced — it’s simply time to slow down, connect, and celebrate this chapter. Expect a warm, encouraging atmosphere and a pace that allows you to be fully present. The result is a collection of timeless, personal images that capture your bump, your story, and the quiet anticipation before your baby arrives.
Most families book their maternity session shortly after their 12‑week scan to secure a date that works well for them. Your photoshoot will then take place when you’re between 28 and 35 weeks, which is the perfect window for beautiful, comfortable maternity portraits. This gives you plenty of time to plan your session, choose outfits, and find a date that feels right for you.

The Bump to Baby Photoshoot Experience
If you’re starting to think beyond your maternity session, you might love the idea of documenting the whole journey — from those final weeks of pregnancy through to those tiny, early days with your newborn.
My Bump to Baby package is designed to do exactly that, giving you a seamless, relaxed experience that captures both stages beautifully.
We begin with your maternity photoshoot, creating natural, heartfelt images that celebrate this chapter of waiting and anticipation. Then, once your little one arrives, we’ll plan your newborn session — a chance to slow things down again and capture all those delicate details and early connections that change so quickly.
It’s a lovely way to tell the full story of your motherhood journey, with images that feel consistent, personal and completely true to you — from bump to baby.
I create maternity sessions that feel calm, supportive, and genuinely empowering. With years of experience photographing women and families across Nottinghamshire, I know how to guide you gently so you feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera. My approach is natural and understated — no stiff posing, no pressure, just honest, beautiful moments that reflect your personality and this chapter of your journey. Whether we’re shooting in my Mansfield studio or outdoors in Nottinghamshire, my focus is always on creating timeless images that feel true to you and your story.
