Pregnancy Photoshoot Questions Answered
Do I need to bring my own outfits?
We provide a beautiful selection of maternity dresses, fabrics and styling accessories for your pregnancy photoshoot.
Many of the portraits you see in our portfolio were created using pieces from our client wardrobe.
We simply recommend bringing plain nude, white or black underwear to wear beneath the outfits.
I’ve never had a professional photoshoot before. Will you help me pose?
Absolutely. Most women who book maternity photography with us have never been professionally photographed before.
We specialise in creating a calm, supportive environment where you can relax and enjoy the experience.
You’ll never feel rushed or unsure of what to do — we guide you through natural and flattering poses every step of the way.
Can my partner and children join the photoshoot?
Yes. Family members are welcome to join most pregnancy sessions, creating meaningful portraits that celebrate this special chapter together.
Many parents choose to include their partner and children for a selection of family images alongside individual maternity portraits.
Family maternity portraits are one of the most popular parts of our sessions and create beautiful photographs celebrating this special time together.
Are make-up and hair services included?
Professional make-up and hair services are not included in our pregnancy photography packages.
However, we are happy to offer guidance and recommendations to help you prepare for your session.
Where does the maternity photoshoot take place?
Sessions can take place in our Sutton home studio or at beautiful outdoor locations across Surrey and South London. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the setting that best suits your style and vision.
When should I book my maternity photoshoot?
We recommend booking your maternity photography session after your 20-week scan to secure availability. Most sessions take place between 28 and 35 weeks of pregnancy.
