Maternity Session

an intro from Aimiee

Having a Maternity Session is a magical way to begin your journey. All bumps are truly beautiful and everything that comes with pregnancy. stretch marks and all, deserves to be captured for you to look back on forever. This stage of your journey doesn’t last long and once your baby is born time will pass by in a flash. During pregnancy you tend to be constantly thinking forwards to meeting your new baby, but let’s take a moment to pause and concentrate on you, embrace your amazing body, and show how beautiful you are growing and nurturing this little life and feel amazing about yourself.

Many women can feel nervous embracing their body in front of the camera – trust me I know! I was just as shy stepping in front of the camera for my Maternity Session (and that wasn’t even in front of a stranger) but I am so glad I did, and I’ll be able to cherish those memories forever.

Your Maternity session will be with just me, (Ant will sit this one out) to help make you feel as comfortable as possible, and I will guide you through the session so you wont need to worry about anything. We will talk about clothing, posing and all your worries before and during your session to put you at ease and make you feel fabulous. Our Mummy-to-be’s often comment on how relaxed they felt during their session after feeling a little nervous beforehand, and are so pleased they were able to put their trust in me to capture these special moments that they can now hold close and cherish forever.

We always welcome your partner and any of your other children into your Maternity Session as this is the beginning of their amazing journey too, it’s a wonderful way to come together and capture the love you all share between you and for your new baby. Most partners actually end up super excited by the end of the session, and cannot wait to come back to show off the new arrival.

If you are really keen to embrace your Bump but are still feeling nervous about having a Maternity Session, please just pop me a message and we can have a chat in more detail about it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT STAGE OF MY PREGNANCY IS THE SESSION?
We recommend that your Maternity Session takes place at around 32-34 weeks.
This way you aren’t too uncomfortable, and we are less likely to miss the session if your little one decides to make an early appearance!

CAN MY PARTNER AND OTHER CHILDREN JOIN IN?
Absolutely! You are more than welcome to include your partner and any other little ones in your Maternity Session. You can even bring the dog if you like!

DO YOU PROVIDE MATERNITY DRESSES & FABRIC?
Yes – we have a small selection of stunning maternity dresses available for you to use during your session, as well as a selection of fabrics. We have example photographs of these which we can send you to help you choose, and you are obviously welcome to bring your own items too!

DO I HAVE TO TAKE MY CLOTHES OFF?
Not at all, that is entirely up to you. You can remain fully clothed, partially clothed or go for the ‘Implied Nude’ style, where you take off your bra, and we use your (or your partners) arms in the poses to keep you covered. We suggest having a think about which styles you want to do beforehand, so you don’t have to make a rushed decision on the day.
