Maternity Photoshoots – Celebrating the Power of Creation
You are creating life. And in that, you are magic.
Pregnancy is a chapter like no other—a time of transformation, anticipation, and deep connection with your body and the little soul growing within. At Empowering Women Photography, we believe this moment deserves to be celebrated with love, intention, and artistry.
Whether you feel radiant or a little overwhelmed (or both), my maternity sessions are a space where you can slow down and fully embrace this journey. It’s not just about documenting your bump—it’s about capturing your strength, your softness, and the fierce beauty of becoming a mother.
What to Expect
Maternity sessions take place in the calm, comfortable setting of my studio in Preston. With gentle direction, beautiful lighting, and flattering styling options, we’ll create portraits that reflect both who you are now and the amazing journey you’re on.
You’ll have full access to my carefully curated client wardrobe, which includes a variety of stunning maternity dresses, robes, fabrics, and accessories to suit all styles and body types. Whether you envision something elegant, natural, fashion-forward, or soft and romantic, we’ll tailor the look to match your personality and comfort.
If you prefer, you’re more than welcome to bring your own outfit too—especially if there’s something meaningful you’d love to be photographed in. I can also provide a helpful guide with outfit suggestions that work beautifully on camera.
Please note: I don’t provide hair and makeup services at the studio. If you’d like to have your hair and makeup professionally done, you’re welcome to arrange that on your own—or bring your artist with you to the session.
You don’t have to know how to pose. You don’t need to bring anything fancy. Just come as you are—I’ll guide you through everything, helping you feel confident, relaxed, and truly beautiful.
When to Book
The ideal time for your maternity shoot is between 28 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around.
Come As You Are
Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fourth, whether you want something elegant and timeless or bold and artistic—this is your space. Your story. Your strength. And I’m here to capture it for you.
Because pregnancy is not just about what’s growing inside—it’s about the woman you are becoming.
