Maternity Photography in Cambridge

I would suggest booking 4–6 weeks in advance if possible. Normally my clients book after their 20 week scan. If you have left it too late, feel free to contact me — I might have a last minute cancellation and still be able to help.

First of all, the studio is a relaxed and comfortable place with separate rooms, so you have plenty of space to change outfits in private. Some women ask for nude photos and this is absolutely fine with me. Some women prefer semi-nude photographs and this is also fine. The session is yours and you are always in control.

Even when my mums opt in for the nude photos, this is something I generally prefer to leave for the end of the photoshoot, when the ice has already been broken, everyone is more at ease and the atmosphere is just the right one for it.

Yes, and I will always encourage dads-to-be to take part in your maternity photoshoot. It is such a special time in your life and it is amazing to share it together.

Your partner will not be in all the images but, depending on the pregnancy photography package of your choice, there will be some images of just you and some images with you and your partner.

I would like to make your session as relaxed and stress free as possible, so in the studio I have a lovely selection of dresses, fabrics and lingerie for you to choose from. However it is recommended to bring a few underwear key items for hygienic reasons, and to make sure the size is just right for you.

Once you book your pregnancy photoshoot with me, you will receive a Welcome Brochure which includes a list of items to bring, together with some useful tips for each member of the family and the directions to the studio.

I have many clients who travel to my studio from London. It is at CB23 3AQ, on the Cambridge to St Neots road, with the A14, the A1 and the M11 close by — for a lot of people that is easier than crossing London itself. There is parking at the door, and Cambridge is ten minutes away, so the session can become a day out.

The same is true from further north and east: mums-to-be come from Ely, Newmarket, Bedford, Saffron Walden, Bury St Edmunds and across Hertfordshire.

If you prefer not to travel we can still arrange a home photoshoot in the comfort of your home. In this case extra travel costs apply.

I am lucky enough to have a studio surrounded by some gorgeous fields which offer, every month, a unique setting and background. The reason I love these locations is because I have studied the light here. I know every single corner and how to get the most out of each of them depending on the time of day.

Another big advantage, if you are a second time mum, is that there is lots of space for your children to run around — and this allows me to create some great natural shots and capture candid moments.

If you have a location which you love and which is meaningful to you, I love to hear about it and plan how to best capture your precious memories there. For outdoor photoshoots in specific locations such as the beach or a lavender field, please allow some extra travel cost and consider booking much further in advance.

If weather conditions are bad for an outdoor shoot, we can either rearrange or opt for a studio session. Overcast and dull days are actually perfect for outdoor maternity photoshoots because they offer the softest light. A day where the sun is not shining can be great for an outdoor session.

The best time to capture your maternity photos is either at sunrise or at sunset. Sunsets tend to be the most popular choice, especially in the summer, as sunrise happens way too early.

Have you ever heard of the expression golden hours? The golden hours are the two hours right before and after sunset, when the light turns into a golden colour which makes the most fantastic light for a photographer and a real dream for every mum-to-be. The light at sunrise and sunset is softer and less harsh, and the temperature is just perfect even on the hottest summer days.
