Which areas do you cover for maternity photography?
I offer in-home maternity photography sessions across Essex, including Witham, Maldon, Chelmsford, Colchester, Braintree, Halstead, Brentwood and Wickford, as well as the wider Essex area. I travel to you, so your session feels relaxed, personal and comfortable.
When is the best time to book a maternity photo session?
The ideal time for a maternity session is between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully defined and you’re still feeling comfortable. I recommend booking a few weeks in advance to secure availability.
Where will my maternity photography session take place?
Maternity sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, using professional light and gentle guidance to create soft, timeless images. This allows you to feel completely at ease in familiar surroundings.
What should I wear for my maternity session?
I recommend soft, neutral-toned clothing that feels comfortable and reflects your personal style. Flowing dresses, knitwear and simple fabrics photograph beautifully. I have a large collection of stunning Maternity Outfits and Accessories. I will style your Maternity Session in line with your preferred style. You don’t need to prepare anything unless you have a special outfit/accessory you would like to use. I’ll guide you with personalised styling advice before your session.
Can my partner and children be included in the maternity photos?
Yes, absolutely. Including your partner and children creates meaningful images that celebrate this chapter of your family’s story and the connection you already share.
Can pets be included in maternity photography sessions?
Yes — pets are very welcome. They’re part of your family, and including them helps create natural, heartfelt maternity images during your in-home session.
What if I don’t feel confident about my body during pregnancy?
This is completely normal. My role is to gently guide you into flattering, natural poses and create images that help you feel confident, relaxed and beautiful — just as you are.
How long does a maternity photography session last?
Maternity sessions typically last 60–90 minutes, allowing time to relax, change outfits if needed, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
Can I bring props or sentimental items to include in the photos?
Yes. Personal items such as baby shoes, scan photos or meaningful keepsakes are always welcome and can add a lovely personal touch to your maternity images.
I feel awkward in front of the camera — will you help with posing?
Absolutely. Most clients feel this way at first. I’ll guide you gently throughout the session with natural posing, so you never need to worry about what to do.
Can I request specific poses or ideas for my maternity session?
Of course. You’re welcome to share any ideas or inspiration. I’ll always take these into account while keeping the session natural and relaxed.
When will I receive my final edited maternity images?
Your professionally edited maternity gallery is typically ready within 4 weeks. You’ll receive a private online gallery to view and select your favourite images.
Can I order professional prints or products after my session?
Yes. I offer a beautiful range of high-quality Fine Art print products, including albums and wall art, so you can enjoy your images beyond the screen.
What happens if I need to reschedule my maternity session?
I understand that pregnancy can be unpredictable. If you need to reschedule due to health or unexpected circumstances, please let me know as soon as possible and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.
How far in advance should I book my maternity session?
I recommend booking your maternity session as early as possible, especially if you’re planning to photograph your newborn later as well. This ensures availability across busy Essex locations such as Colchester, Witham and Chelmsford.

Can I purchase a maternity photography gift voucher?
Yes. Gift vouchers are available and make a thoughtful gift for expectant parents across Essex, including Witham, Maldon, Chelmsford, Colchester, Braintree, Halstead, Brentwood and Wickford.
