Maternity Photographer Essex

Essex and the surrounding areas

You are finally expecting your much longed for baby and are looking for a lifestyle maternity photographer to capture these special times in a relaxed and natural manner. Pregnancy is such a beautiful yet tender season in a woman's life and you want images that will represent the excitement you feel.

Bursting with emotion about the upcoming arrival of baby, us women try to get everything ready in time before the big day. Strollers, baby clothes, bottles, the nursery... the list is endless. You carefully chose each little outfit, you lovingly fold little rompers late into the night, wondering who this little person you're carrying inside of you will be...

Whether this is your first or fourth baby, whether you have waited for them for a long time or they caught you by surprise, the eagerness and anticipation of this new chapter is all the same.  Being a mother myself, I know how important these next few months are and I would love to help you create memories of them to last a lifetime. I offer on-location and in-home lifestyle maternity photography in Essex. With gentle guidance and an effortless photography style, I will help you capture the joy and radiance of pregnancy.

 

"I had an amazing experience with Zee. Her warmth and authentic approach, combined with her attention to detail, created a comfortable atmosphere throughout the photoshoot. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled photographer who brings out the best in you. Thank you, Zee!."

The Photosession Experience

In a world full of  endless "To Do" lists, I try to make your maternity photo session experience as hassle-free as possible. Here's what happens
when you contact me:

01

Tell me about yourself

Fill out the contact form with the type of photo session you need (baby, child, family). We will then discuss the different packages and find one that suits you best.

 

Once the basics are out of the way, I will send you a short and sweet questionnaire with a few simple questions about yourself and your preferences so that I can tailor the photo session to your unique family.

02

Planning the session

After you've told me all about your family (I'm such a sentimental person - I love hearing all about your families!), we decide on the best location - the privacy of your own home, or an outdoor location from my secret handbook with photoshoot-worthy secluded spots.

 

After that, we pick a wardrobe scheme that works with your personal style. If you don't have anything suitable, you can also chose from my client wardrobe of curated dresses.

03

The day has come

It's the day of your photo session - so exciting! It's time to relax and enjoy our time together. On the day itself, I will help you feel at home in front of the camera by letting you be your wonderful selves whilst gently guiding you in order to achieve your desired result.

 

For optimum results I aim for at 1-1.5h of shooting time. This gives me plenty of time to create stunning images - although I swear it always goes by in a flash (yep, that's how much I love my job)!

04

The Result

Because I'm just as impatient as you to see the images, within 48 hours of your session, the sneak peeks will be released.

Two weeks after your session you will receive the full private viewing gallery with your edited photos. At this time you can chose your favourites and upgrade with any extra images you love. I will then send you the download link with your chosen portraits. If you have chosen "The Staple" or "The Luxe" packages, you will soon receive your printed artwork as well.

  • I know that as an expecting mum, you have so many choices to make - which pram to get, to bottle feed ot breastfeed, can you justify the price tag of that fancy baby carrier that all the Insta mums are wearing... I was in your shoes not so long ago and I remember how time consuming all of it was. Because of this, I want to simplify documenting your maternity journey. I offer a no-fuss, set package fee of...

Q&A

Q: What should I wear?
I offer style assistance with helpful guides as part of my offerings. Together we will go over the photosession wardrobe so that we can achieve the result you want!

Q:  What if the British weather doesn't agree with our scheduled session date?
Don't worry - I have specific backup days which are saved particularly for this case.

Q:  I have more than one set of outfits planned. Can we change them?
I would recommend planning one change of outfits max. We tend to get the most authentic images once we all get into the groove of the photoshoot, and because of this it's best to avoid distractions.
