I love maternity photography outdoors, especially when there is already a child. A maternity session in this case becomes more of a family photoshoot and it gets quite special.
Children are happier because they are free to run around and be themselves and mums are usually more relaxed as well. Your child won’t turn the session into chaos, if that’s what’s worrying you.
With this lovely family, we went to Clapham Common as it was their local park. We had a little walk and stopped here and there for some photos. As a London photographer, I go to that park quite frequently, so I know what corners can work well or not. It all depends on whether there are other people around, in which case I find a quieter spot.
A maternity session is not just about the bump. Maternity photography focuses mainly on capturing the beauty and joy of pregnancy. However, it’s also about relationships, family, and creating a legacy. It’s the making of a new story with a new little human.

Here are some photos from the maternity photography session in Clapham Common.




Mum decided to go with vibrant colours and she coordinated her husband’s tie and daughter’s dress in that palette. I usually prefer natural, muted tones but I have to say that for an outdoor session, colours can work nicely too.
