Capturing the Magic: London Maternity Photoshoot and the Art of Constant Learning

As a seasoned maternity photographer in London, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the intimate and beautiful moments of countless expectant mothers over the past decade. Yet, in this dynamic field, one thing remains constant – the art of learning.

Last week, on the day of my birthday, I decided to gift myself an experience that would not only celebrate another year but also enhance my skills to better serve you as my clients. Enter “Maternity Magic,” a course organised by the Society of Photographers and led by the talented Tianna Jarrett-Williams, offering a fresh perspective on the art of maternity photography, more fashion and editorial.

Maternity photography goes beyond capturing a moment – it’s about preserving the magic of a unique journey. Every expectant mother deserves to have this enchanting time documented, and that’s where the magic begins. From the gentle glow to the excitement in their eyes, these are moments that deserve to be frozen in time.

The Art of Growing as a Photographer

While my years of experience have allowed me to create stunning maternity portraits, I believe in the power of continuous learning. Attending this course wasn’t just a birthday indulgence; it was a commitment to staying on the cutting edge of my craft. The course provided not only theoretical insights but also practical hands-on experience, allowing me to refine my techniques and bring a new layer of magic to my work.

In the ever-evolving world of photography, stagnation is not an option. Despite being a seasoned maternity photographer, I choose to embrace the role of a perpetual student.

Why?

Because the more I learn, the more I can offer to you, my lovely clients.

But now it’s your turn. Why should you treat yourself to a maternity photoshoot?

The studio was quiet.

But not in a lonely way.

In a way that says:
“You’re back. Let’s begin again.”

After a summer full of family, travel, sunshine… and not a lot of quiet 😅 it always takes me a minute to come back to myself.

So I start small.

A tidy studio. A candle I love. A deep breath.

It’s not about rushing into “getting things done.”

It’s about reconnecting to what matters.

To the stories I want to tell.

To the women I want to celebrate through my work.

If you’re struggling to find your mojo… I see you.

Let’s both take it slow. And make space for what lights us up.

Here’s to slow starts and soulful returns. Feeling the same? Tell me how you’re easing in.
It’s been 4 days since Milk Tales was released… and I’m honestly so happy.

My heart is full. 

I’ve received so many lovely messages, and even a few beautiful reviews already. Thank you to everyone who bought the book, shared it, or simply supported this journey in any way. It means the world to me.

This book has always been about more than just pages, it’s about stories that matter. And seeing it out there, finally, is a dream came true. 

Have you read it yet? Did a particular story stay with you?

I jumped on a spontaneous live today, because sometimes, why not?

And I had the best reason for it… to talk about Milk Tales. 🙌🏻

This book means the world to me, and sharing it live (even with wobbly nerves and unbrushed hair!) felt right.

So grateful for everyone who tuned in and cheered me on, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you are interested in the book, the link is in my bio or DM me and I'll send it to you.
What if one book could say: “I see you. I’ve been there”?
