Maternity Photography in Norwich

Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lucy for her maternity photography session and it was so much fun! Her little boy was due in just a few weeks so it really gave her some ‘me’ time before the birth of her little one – we know then our time goes out of the window!

Styling Lucy’s Maternity Session

She came to my studio space for a pre-shoot consultation and we looked at Client Wardrobe pieces and images she had collected for inspiration. From this, we brainstormed together and created several different looks to show her personality but also showcase her blooming bump.

Her session was so much fun. We put on some relaxing music and created some absolutely gorgeous images that I hope she will look back on and love as much as I do.

Revealing Lucy’s Maternity Portraits to her

I couldn’t wait to show Lucy her images after her shoot. She looks so powerful and feminine yet strong and calm which are all the best traits of a Mummy. She loved them and agreed I could share a handful with you here where she looks 🔥. Having met her little boy since she has had him, he is just scrummy and Lucy is a brilliant Mum to him.

Looking for Maternity Portrait Models

I’m currently updating my maternity portfolio and would love to photograph some other Mummies-to-be. You need to be between 24-34 weeks pregnant at the time of your session. As a thank you for me being able to use a few of your images to showcase my work, you would get to choose three images of your session.

I’m looking for only Mum’s with bumps but I may be looking to add smaller children to the mix as well at a later date.

I have a Client Wardrobe you can use. There are some beautiful gowns and pregnancy-specific pieces in there and I am more than happy to help you choose. You can also wear your clothing if you feel your most comfortable in it.

Uncomfortable in front of the Camera?

You don’t have to be an expert poser – I will give you direction in posing and expression and I have full professional insurance and first aid training. I’ve also been lucky enough to train with some world-class maternity photographers

The whole experience was amazing and totally different from a standard photo session! Claire listened carefully to what I wanted from the session, and was then able to direct me, suggest ideas and change the lighting and backgrounds to achieve the desired shots. Her editing skills are fantastic. She managed to keep me looking like me, while making each photo stand out and shine. I highly recommend her if you want something special.
