Why choose me as your maternity photographer?

  • Over the years of photographing mums-to-be all across London, I have developed a subtle documentary style. While I provide light guidance on posing, the session remains relaxed, natural, and informal throughout.

  • You’ll feel seen, not directed, and leave with photos that feel you.

  • Booking a maternity photo session also gives access to a 20% discount on your newborn shoot (if you'd like to continue the story).

Where & How We Shoot

Your session can take place anywhere that feels meaningful to you, on Clapham Common during golden hour, in your living room bathed in soft window light, or tucked away in one of Clapham’s quieter green corners like Agnes Riley Gardens. I let the environment set the tone and work with its natural light to create calm, honest images.

Best Time to Book

The ideal window is between 30–36 weeks’ pregnancy—when your bump is visible and you still feel comfortable moving around. But I’m flexible: feeling good at 28 weeks? Late to 38? We'll pick the timing that’s right for you.

What to Expect

  • Session length: typically 60–90 minutes.

  • Wardrobe freedom: pick what feels comfortable—flowing maxi dress, jeans and a tee, or just what reflects you.

  • Process: We'll begin with a quick chat to discuss dates, outfits, and the best location. On the shoot day, I'll help you feel relaxed so we can capture this special moment. The session finishes with natural, loving photos of your beautiful baby bump.
