Your Maternity Photographer

Newcastle upon Tyne | Tyne & Wear | North East England

Monika Meska Photography, London Family Photographer

Hi there ! I'm Monika, your maternity photographer

I’ve recently moved to beautiful Tyne & Wear after six years as a full-time photographer in London, and I am excited to photograph here in the stunning North East.

Maternity photography has a soft spot in my heart. It’s absolutely adorable, precious, and a magical time. Sometimes challenging, but definitely worth capturing and treasuring forever. My style is super simple, timeless, romantic, and focuses on capturing love, emotions, and connections.

No worries if you’re shy or not a fan of having your picture taken—I’m here to help you capture wonderfully natural portraits to cherish forever. I put a lot of heart into every single photo shoot, tailoring it to your family’s needs. My aim is to provide you with photos that you’ll proudly display on your walls and share with your loved ones.

Let’s make some magic together!

Capturing the beauty of creating new life

THE PROCESS

Before your maternity session

To secure your booking I’ll send a quick contract and invoice. I’ll also ask you to fill out a questionnaire to understand your expectations better. Based on your answers and a chat, I’ll create a personalised photoshoot plan. You’ll also receive a prep guide with tips on what to wear and how to prepare.

During your maternity session

The newborn session is relaxed and led by your baby’s needs. It is a gentle family time full of cuddles, laughter, and love. I’ll provide guidance on posing and offer gentle direction, but we will keep it natural and real. We will capture sweet, unscripted moments, as well as beautiful natural portraits of the family and baby only

After your maternity session

I will take care of your final images. I will carefully select and edit all the best photographs from your maternity session, creating a beautiful story of your growing family to cherish forever. Each image will be edited in color and also in black and white versions. You will also have the option to order the highest quality locally handcrafted albums, prints, and wall art.

FAQs

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. 

Many clients like to schedule their maternity sessions around the 20-week scan. While there may be some last-minute availability, I recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.

Most of my maternity photoshoots take place outdoors, however, from time to time, I also capture more intimate maternity moments in the home. 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 while expecting your baby. Embracing your home as part of the images will make them even more special and personal to you

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.
