Looking for just Maternity?
The second part of this shoot is all about your new arrival, and recommend booking the ‘New-born session’anytime before baby reaches 14 days old. This is when the magic is at its highest, and usually when baby is most sleepy, enabling us to make the most of our time together. Most of my clients call me the baby whisperer! All newborn sessions are held at my home studio in Bedfordshire. This session will last between 2 - 3 hours.

FAQs
When should I book in?
As soon as possible, it's always best to get the dates in my diary as early as possible just so I can guarantee I will be able to fit you in due to taking limited newborn sessions per month. I recommend once you've had you're 20 week scan is the best time to get in touch and start looking at dates for the bump shoot and then I can pencil the bump date in.
What is bump to baby photography?
A bump to baby photoshoot is a collection of photoshoots to document your journey into parenthood. Across two separate studio sessions, we will create beautiful image(s) of your bump and your newborn bundle of joy.
What should I wear for a bump shoot?
I have a range of lace cover ups/dresses for you to use on the day. Matching underwear is also essential I would recommend a black and white set. Come in one set ready and the other just incase we need them. Well fitted clothing is also ideal as it’ll showcase your bump. A stretchy mini dress is ideal!
What happens if baby arrives early or late?
Don't panic this is why I pencil you've due date in for around 7 days after so that we can bring it forward or move it back. This is why I take limited newborn bookings per month to accommodate this.
Can sibling’s be involved in the newborn session?
Absolutely all I ask is that siblings come to the end of the session around the last 30 minutes as the newborn session can take up to 3 hrs. Little ones can become restless and bored. I recommend getting Dad or Nan to bring them over once we are ready for them.
Is 37 weeks plus too late for a maternity session?
While the best time frame for a maternity photo session is around 28 to 36 weeks of the pregnancy, expecting mothers can enjoy a shoot as long as they're not a little too close to their delivery dates and they can still move around with a growing baby bump.
What are the best colors to wear to my maternity shoot?
Keep it simple, it’s about focusing on that gorgeous bump you are growing. I recommend black and whites for your session or light colors such as cream, nude, off white, light grey or light pastel colors.
