Maternity Photos At home, outdoors or studio?


This is usually the first big questions to answer. When you envision your maternity photographs do you see yourself in your own surroundings? A beautiful field outdoors? Or perhaps in a relaxing studio? Some photographers might offer 1-2 of these options and I am happy to say I enjoy shooting in and can offer all 3.


I am always happy to pop to your home - travel included within 10 miles of Watlington, OX49 5QA and travel to your home even a bit further afield in Oxfordshire, Cotswolds, Buckinghamshire or Berkshire for a small mileage fee. I have even popped into Central London if I am the photographer for you - I would love to hear from you!


As the weather gets warmer an outdoor shoot is a lovely idea - particularly if you would love a golden hour photo shoot (written a whole blog on this!) and I know lots of beautiful locations for this!


Lastly if you'd prefer a totally relaxing experience my small home photo studio space in Watlington can be used for your photo shoot - I'd absolutely love to welcome you here!

making the decision

I usually recommend going with your gut on this one. But if you want a few points on which to choose see below:


  1. At Home Maternity Photo Shoot - works really well if you'd like to include older siblings and partners. Also if you feel your home has good natural light and also you want some of your everyday surroundings to be incorporated into the photographs as part of the memories
  2. Outdoor Maternity Photo Shoot Location - this works really well particularly in the summer months - for obvious reasons! If you feel at ease outside and perhaps this reflects part of your personality and passions we should definitely go outdoors.
  3. Studio Maternity Photo Shoot Session - this takes a lot of ease off where you can just turn up and relax in a calm, serene space. If you'd like a little 'you time' to connect and focus on your bump this might be the choice for you! We can be creative and bring elements from your home to create the aesthetic you love - siblings and partners also very welcome!
