A very pretty young lady, Jenny, visited my studio for a few photographs of her bump! Jenny is due in just a few weeks and she picked the perfect time, with her bump nice and prominent, to record this important event in her life.
Here are a couple of photos from the shoot.
Many thanks for letting me share these Jenny!
Mum to be - Looking very elegant
Very kindly, this young lady from near Hemel Hempstead, has allowed me to show you these maternity portraits. She’s about 6 or 7 months pregnant and wanted to record this special time and decided to be brave and have a series of nudes. After she arrived, we looked through some example photos so that she could consider the poses that she liked and would be happy with.
The shoot started with some bump shots with some fabric wrapped around her, just below the bump. Then we moved on to a sequence of shots with her lying on the floor in various poses. She was very relaxed and didn’t seem at all nervous about the experience so we the moved on to shoot some silhouettes (which I think make wonderful maternity portraits).

This mum to be has been back to the studio for her viewing and she said she was delighted with the results (many thanks for the order!), she was very easy to work with and as I said earlier very generous, letting me share these pictures with you. Good luck with the birth!
A proud mum to be showing off her pregnant tummy!
Once upon a time, pregnant women covered their bumps in large frumpy maternity clothes but that’s all transformed. Ladies now show their pregnant tummies with pride; even celebrities, concious of their public image, show off their bumps for all to see. With such changes, maternity or pregnancy portrait shoots have become a popular event for mothers to be.
I’ve put together a maternity / pregnancy portrait page for the website. I hope you will find the information contained useful should you be considering having a pre-birth portrait now or in the future. The page details what you might expect if you were to visit my studio for a shoot, provides some food for thought regarding clothing options and displays some recent examples of pregnancy portraits I’ve produced.
Today school is closed again and so I’m looking after our eldest son. The studio is still covered in snow, but I’ve made a start at clearing the pathway to it.
Snow around the Studio
This morning we headed out to Ivinghoe Beacon for a walk and some sledging, there were quite a few people doing the same – there’s some great sledging and photography opportunities to be had at that location.
After this mornings energetic outing, William is having a nap (he’s only young). I’m writing this and doing some post processing. I’ve completed a couple of maternity shoots and have around 200 shots to work through. I’ll be posting some of the shots here on the blog in a day or two!
I’ve also got a series of shots from a young man’s photo shoot. It was a day or two before his first day at school and he arrived proudly wearing his brand new uniform. Again, I’ll get something prepared to post on this blog.
Now back to post processing!
