Pregnancy is one of the most special and emotional moments in your life — and your maternity photoshoot should reflect exactly that.
If you’re feeling a little nervous, unsure what to wear or how to pose — you’re not alone. Most of my clients feel the same before their session.
The good news? You don’t need any experience. I will guide you through everything.
Here’s how to prepare so you can feel confident, relaxed and truly beautiful during your maternity session.
1. When to Book Your Maternity Photoshoot
The best time for maternity photography is between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy.
At this stage:
your bump is beautifully visible
you still feel comfortable enough to move and pose
your body has that soft, feminine glow
I recommend booking early, especially if you’re based in Peterborough, Boston, Bourne or Stamford, as availability is limited each month.
2. What to Wear for Your Maternity Session
One of the most common questions I get is: “What should I wear?”
You don’t need to worry about this.
✨ I provide a selection of beautiful maternity gowns in the studio
✨ Each dress is carefully chosen to flatter your body
✨ You can choose simple, elegant or more artistic styles
You can also bring:
neutral underwear
a simple outfit (jeans & shirt look works beautifully)
sentimental items (scan photos, baby shoes)
3. Do I Need to Know How to Pose?
Absolutely not.
Most of my clients say:
👉 “I’m not photogenic”
👉 “I feel awkward in front of the camera”
That’s completely normal.
During your session:
✔ I guide you step by step
✔ I show you exactly how to pose
✔ I adjust everything — from hands to posture
My job is to make you feel confident and comfortable.
Yes — and I highly recommend it.
Including your partner or children:
adds emotion to your photos
tells your story
creates beautiful family memories
Family images are included in selected collections.
5. What Happens During the Session?
Your maternity photoshoot is designed to be a calm and enjoyable experience.
In my Spalding studio (near Peterborough & Boston) you can expect:
a relaxed atmosphere
time to change outfits
guided posing throughout
professional lighting and styling
There is no rush — everything is done at your pace.
6. Will My Photos Be Edited?
Yes — every selected image is professionally edited.
My editing style is:
✨ natural
✨ soft
✨ timeless
I enhance your images while keeping you looking like yourself — just at your absolute best.
7. Feeling Nervous? That’s Completely Normal
You might feel:
unsure about your body
tired
not confident
👉 Most of my clients feel exactly the same before their session.
But by the end, they say:
💬 “I didn’t expect to feel this beautiful”
