You May Not Feel It, But You Are Radiant
I know what you might be thinking: “I feel too big, too tired, too bloated for photos.”
But mama, let me tell you—this chapter of your life is breathtaking, and one day you’ll wish you had captured it.
When I was 28 and pregnant with my son, I felt glowing in my first and second trimester. But by the last trimester? I didn’t recognise myself. I felt heavy, swollen, and far from the radiant image I thought pregnancy should look like. And yet, when I look back now, those were the most magical weeks of my life.
I treasured every bump selfie in the mirror, but those snapshots couldn’t capture the heart of what I was feeling…
They couldn’t show how my chest swelled with love when I felt his tiny kicks, how perfectly round my bump became as he grew, or how our little Yorkie, Yoshi, instinctively knew I was carrying someone so precious and protective love already bloomed.
I look back and wish I had frozen those moments in time. Not only for myself—but for my son. So that one day, he could see how loved he was before he even entered the world.
Why Book a Maternity Photoshoot in Hertfordshire?
So many mums-to-be tell me they don’t feel “photo ready” during pregnancy. But maternity photography isn’t about looking perfect—it’s about remembering this once-in-a-lifetime chapter.
Unlike clothes or baby gadgets that get forgotten, maternity photographs become part of your family’s story. They are memories you’ll revisit again and again, and one day, your children will too.
I know what you're thinking...
“I Don’t Look Like a Model, I Won’t Photograph Well!”
Oh mama, if only you could see yourself through my lens.
So many women I work with tell me the exact same thing—that they don’t feel beautiful, or they worry they won’t look good in front of the camera. But let me reassure you: you don’t need to look or feel like a model for your maternity photographs to be breathtaking.
One of my recent clients felt exactly this way. She’d already had a maternity shoot when she was pregnant with her daughter and thought she didn’t need another. But this time, her little girl was old enough to hug her bump, and their beloved fur baby joined in too. This shoot wasn’t just about her—it was about her growing family. And it was magical.
The result? Photographs filled with raw love, connection, and emotion—moments that can never be repeated, but will always be remembered.

What to Wear for a Pregnancy Photoshoot
You don’t need to buy a brand new wardrobe for your shoot. I recommend:
Flowing dresses that flatter your bump and move beautifully outdoors. Soft, neutral colours that let your natural glow shine through. Comfortable outfits that feel like you. I’ll happily guide you with styling tips before your session.
Studio vs. Lifestyle Photography – What’s Right for You?
Some mums love the polished feel of studio portraits. Personally, I’ve found the most meaningful maternity photos come from outdoor sessions in Hertfordshire’s beautiful countryside or at-home lifestyle shoots. These settings capture real emotions—your partner’s protective hand on your bump, your pet curled up next to you, the laughter that bursts out naturally. These are the moments worth keeping.
"the photos… I don’t even have the words. When I received them, I cried. They were stunning. Each image captured such raw emotion and magical little moments that I know I’ll treasure forever. It was like seeing our love and anticipation for our existing life and also this new baby frozen in time—something I didn’t even know I needed until I saw the pictures."
