Southampton maternity photographer now working in Dorset

I’m based in Southampton, but all my maternity sessions are now held on the stunning beaches of Dorset. Many Southampton families travel to Dorset for a calm, relaxed and beautiful beach experience.

I usually suggest booking your session between 28 and 34 weeks. It’s a time when most mums are still feeling comfortable, and it gives us plenty of space before your due date to make the session relaxed and enjoyable.

Please get in contact after your 12 or 20 week scan to book. Booking is advised as soon as you decide you’d love a maternity shoot, to ensure my availability.

To secure your date, a £100 deposit is taken at the time of booking. This deposit comes off your final balance, which is payable on the day of your shoot.

The best time is the chapter you’re in now. No matter the season, the beach offers a beautiful, natural backdrop that allows your story to unfold gently and honestly.

I’ve created a blog post here to show you how the beach looks throughout the seasons.

I sure do. My client wardrobe features a carefully curated collection of beautiful dresses sourced from all over the world, with styles and sizes to suit all pregnant mothers. Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a photo guide of the wardrobe, along with clothing and styling inspiration to help everyone feel confident and prepared for the shoot.

Definitely yes. I love meeting and photographing the babies I’ve already captured during pregnancy, it’s always a full circle moment. When you book both your maternity and newborn sessions together, I offer a 10% discount as a thank you.

Light rain can be beautiful, especially at the beach, adding an atmospheric feel to your photos, so we’re often able to continue. If there’s heavy rain, we’ll reschedule to the next convenient date as soon as possible.

Yes, absolutely. When you receive your online gallery (approximately 3–4 weeks after your shoot), you’ll be able to select your included 10 digital images.

You’ll also have the opportunity to invest in additional images and artwork for your home, including framed wall art, fine art prints and heirloom albums. Perfect for enjoying your photographs every day rather than keeping them stored on a device.

A full digital collection is also available if you wish to receive all edited images from your session.
