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.

The Photosession Experience
In a world full of endless "To Do" lists, my aim is 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 (newborn, child, family) - I know how exciting planning a photoshoot is so I aim to respond within 24 hours. We will then discuss the different location options and find the one that suits you best - my cosy Studio, the privacy of your own home or an outdoor location from my handbook with photoshoot-worthy secluded spots.
Once the basics are out of the way, I will send you a short and sweet questionnaire with some 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!), I will send you my Style Guide with helpful ideas for colour schemes and outfits for you and your family.
Now comes my favourite part - picking a wardrobe scheme for the session. As a former fashion photographer, I know that a beautiful image is 50% styling, which is why I offer a wardrobe with curated clothes for my clients.
You can request clothes from the wardrobe, wear your own or have a mix of both - it's up to you!
03
The day has come
It's the day of your photoshoot- 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
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.
Afterwards, I will send you the download link with your chosen portraits. Two to four weeks after, you will receive any prints you have chosen from our photoshoot in your post.

Q&A
Q: What should I wear?
As part of the photoshoot experience, you will receive my own 15-page Style Guide with examples of outfits, visual ideas and colour schemes to make sure you and your family will achieve that polished photo shoot look.
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?
Yes, of course - with maternity sessions, I recommend planning a few changes of outfits so that we have variety. Do keep in mind though that we tend to get the most authentic images once we all get into the groove of the photoshoot, so sometimes we might not use them all. But it's always best to be prepared!
