the beauty of creating a life, documented

This is your journey to motherhood
your pregnancy photoshoot
Should make you feel empowered
Pregnancy; one of the most incredible journeys you can be on as you create life - and it is worth celebrating! My maternity sessions are incredibly relaxed and fun with the aim to document you as you are right now, creating imagery to reflect this time in your life and to be remembered for years to come. These sessions are about documenting authentic, honest, real moments. I will gently guide you throughout this session to encourage natural movement and candid keepsakes. Ensuring you know what to do with your body and hands and also look your most beautiful in your images, as I know not everyone feels as though they are a natural in front of the camera.
furbabies
And of course, no one can forget your furriest member of the family. Well behaved furbabies are welcome to attend your photoshoot so that your family portraits are complete.

"She made us feel so at ease...
Lucy is such an amazing photographer with an amazing eye for details! Couldn't have wished for an easier maternity shoot, she made us feel so at ease and really helped to make it not feel posed. Love how our photos turned out and wouldn't hesitate to book again! Thanks so much Lucy!
