Capturing the beauty of growing life
NATURAL MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
In you home and outdoors in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England and beyond
Natural, relaxed maternity sessions outdoors are all about capturing the connection, excitement, and love as you prepare to welcome your baby. I’ll gently guide you while keeping everything natural, focusing on your bond, your beautiful bump, and the emotions of this special time. Your partner, older children, and even pets are more than welcome to join in, and there’s no rush or pressure—just relaxed moments celebrating this incredible chapter of your life. The best time for a maternity session is between 30–36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you still feel comfortable moving around.
No props, no stiff poses—just you, your bump, and your love, just as you are, because this moment is already perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for a maternity session?
We can schedule your maternity session anytime before your due date, but ideally between weeks 30-36 when your bump is beautifully round, and you’re feeling comfortable.
Is my house suitable for a maternity photoshoot?
Your home is perfect just as it is! We don’t need much, just access to some windows for natural light. Whether your home is a studio apartment or a grand mansion, it’s ideal for capturing beautiful moments. Embracing your home as part of the images will make them even more special and personal to you.
What if I am camera shy?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people feel that way. But don’t let it stop you from capturing sweet memories with your family. I’ll help you relax and feel comfortable so that I can capture your best side without any awkward posing.
What is the best time of the day for the photoshoot?
The best time for an outdoor photo session is typically early in the morning or late in the evening, when the natural light is soft and diffuse. For in-home sessions, mid-morning is typically a good time to schedule.
Are we a good mach?
Take a look around. Check out my portfolio and Instagram to see if my style feels right for you. My photography is simple and timeless—no props, no studio, just real smiles and genuine emotions. I love creating images with a film-like feel, a touch of grain, and some artistic black-and-white shots.
