Capturing Timeless Memories:

Pregnancy, with its array of discomforts and challenges, can sometimes make the nine-month journey feel like an eternity. From morning sickness and fatigue to aches and hormonal changes, it’s understandable that many women eagerly await the arrival of their little ones, longing for relief from the physical demands. However, amidst the ups and downs, it’s crucial not to overlook the importance of preserving the remarkable memories that come with carrying a life within you.

While it may be challenging to fully appreciate it in the moment, time has a way of shifting perspectives. As the years pass, you will find profound gratitude for the miraculous journey your body embarked upon, creating the cherished gift of new life. Having tangible images of your blossoming bump allows you to reflect upon and celebrate this transformative chapter whenever you desire. Not only will you treasure these photographs, but they will also hold a special place in the hearts of your children. From a young age, they will revel in the realization that they once resided within your womb, fostering a sense of connection and belonging. And as they grow into adulthood, they will cherish the sacred memories of their mother’s pregnancy, passing them down as a precious legacy to future generations.

Embracing the Celebration:

Pregnancy is an extraordinary reason for celebration. Your body is embarking on a truly miraculous journey, and whether it took you a long time to conceive or this marks your final pregnancy, it’s an event worth commemorating. Women experience the joy of being pregnant only a few times, if at all, in their lives, making it all the more important to capture the essence of this remarkable journey through photography. A maternity photography session not only empowers you but also creates a fun and meaningful connection with your growing baby as your due date draws near.

You may hesitate, feeling a tinge of vanity about a photography session focused solely on you. However, it’s essential to remember that the session is not solely about you, it’s about the precious life blossoming within you as well. Women bodies possess an incredible ability to nurture and bring forth new life, and I find great joy in capturing that awe-inspiring process. The session becomes an opportunity to honor the beauty and strength of your body, celebrating the intricate bond between mother and child.

Allow yourself to embrace the enchantment of this transformative journey, as we capture the radiance and splendor of your pregnancy. It’s a celebration of life, love, and the profound connection that begins even before your baby takes their first breath.

To ensure availability, it’s advisable to book your maternity photography session as early as possible, as maternity and newborn photographers in Glasgow tend to have a busy schedule. I recommend considering booking your session after your 12 or 20-week scan, or whenever you feel most comfortable during your pregnancy journey. While I may have bookings well in advance, I strive to accommodate last-minute sessions whenever possible. Therefore, even if you are further along in your pregnancy, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email. I will make every effort to find a suitable time slot that works for you and captures the precious moments of this remarkable chapter in your life.

For optimal results, I suggest scheduling your maternity photography session when you are between 31 to 35 weeks pregnant. This timeframe ensures that your baby bump is beautifully pronounced, creating stunning images that capture the essence of this special time in your life. Additionally, by selecting this timeframe, we minimize the chances of your session coinciding with the early onset of labor. It allows us to comfortably plan and execute the session, ensuring that you can fully enjoy and celebrate your pregnancy without any concerns about timing.

If you opted for an outdoor session and it looks like it’s going to rain a few days before the session, then I will get in touch a couple of days before and we can either reschedule (at no extra cost) or embrace it and have fun in the rain. When mixing home and outdoor sessions it can be a lot of fun for the kids to go out in their wellies and jump in the puddles.

Most of the photographs are in colour but I do love black & white and I deliver a bunch of them. Sometimes a photo just looks best in black & white.

2–4 weeks after the shoot your edited photographs will be available for viewing in a private online preview gallery.

Yes, it can benefit the session and create even more meaningful memories. Things like your scan, little shoes—basically anything you like to do together or is important to you.

Be prepared to move around so wearing comfortable clothing is important. Choosing what to wear is also important for the look and feel of your photographs. I recommend women wear medium or long dresses instead of pants because they capture movement and generally photograph more flatteringly. Short dresses will be a challenge when we do any seated photos, so keep that in mind. Wear colours in a complementary colour palette, such as earth tones and neutrals. Avoid any texts, logos or stripes on your clothes. Layering works really well for creating different looks and a change of outfit can be a good idea for very little ones. Pinterest is a great place for inspiration.

Yes, I have both public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
