Maternity Photo Shoot Leeds

A maternity photoshoot is ideally suited for women between 28-36 weeks of pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a time of incredible transformation, and a maternity photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate this special moment in your life. It’s an opportunity to capture the beauty of your changing body as it nurtures and prepares to welcome your little one.

My approach to maternity photography focuses on showcasing you—the glowing mum-to-be. While your baby bump is important, I also highlight your radiance, strength, and beauty.

Session Duration and Options

I offer two options for your maternity session:

• Mini Session (1 hour)
• Full Session (2 hours)

Please select which session you'd prefer when booking.

Outfits and Dresses

I have a carefully curated collection of stunning maternity gowns in sizes 6-16, so you’ll have a variety of beautiful options to choose from. I also offer gorgeous accessories to make you feel fabulous. My expertise in posing and lighting ensures that the photos are flattering and natural, giving you gorgeous images straight out of the camera.

Can My Partner Be Included?

Of course! Your partner is very welcome to join your maternity shoot. Capturing this special time together is something you will cherish forever.

Posing and Comfort

If you're not feeling comfortable in front of the camera, don’t worry! I’m here to guide you through the process. My goal is to make you feel at ease so that we can capture beautiful, natural moments. I’ll help with poses that highlight your beauty and make you feel confident, ensuring you leave feeling fantastic about your photos.

Studio Environment

My studio is a relaxed, private space where you can feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. Pregnancy is such a special time, and I want to make sure you feel relaxed and pampered throughout the shoot.

Editing

Pregnancy brings its own set of changes, and there’s no need to worry about those little imperfections. Whether it's swollen ankles, stretch marks, or temporary blemishes, I’ll make sure you look and feel your best. With expert retouching, I ensure that you look radiant and beautiful in every image.
