The Importance of Maternity Photos – London Maternity Photographer

Even though pregnancy comes with a lot of difficult trials, it is an amazing time in your life. It is a time of celebration and anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. It’s a time when you become strong – actually stronger than you ever thought you could possibly be. During this time, you create your initial bond with your child that will continue throughout your entire life.

There are very few women who actually feel like they are beautiful while they are pregnant – especially during the first pregnancy. However, the miracle of pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Swollen feet, stretch marks, and hormone changes aside – you are growing a real live human being inside of you.  All of those side effects come from different things your body has to do to help nourish and protect your baby. This is amazing and a real miracle!

You are beautiful, and you should take the time to celebrate the changes in your body and this amazing moment in your life. And it’s my job to make you feel gorgeous and special, make you feel like a model for a day [ Yes, especially with a  bump 🙂 ]

One day these photos will be a great memory.

This beautiful woman was expecting baby n.2  She is a working mum and a strong woman. When she contacted me, she knew exactly what images she wanted and we worked together towards her ideas.

This was HER time, HER shoot: she wanted some photos to celebrate her body at that time. So not husband, not daughter. This was her gift to herself.

Here below some photos from her amazing maternity photography session.

“Thanks again for everything. I am so glad I’ve chosen you!”

“So happy with my photo shoots!! Very professional yet warm service.”

I was thrilled when I learnt that one of the photos also received a Gold Award from the National Photographic Society.

    One day, they’ll look for photos of you…
    Let’s make sure they find them.

    I know how hard it can be to step in front of the camera…
    
But I promise you, your children will thank you for it one day.
    
I’ve seen it happen. And I want that for you too.

    You are enough exactly as you are right now. And trust me, these are the moments worth remembering.

    P.S. If this feels like the little nudge you needed… maybe it’s time. 😉
And yes, there are still a few spots open for the Mother’s Day Minis.

    Still pinching myself after an unforgettable day at the House of Lords for International Women’s Day, celebrating alongside so many inspiring women. ✨

    Being part of the f:Entrepreneur iAlso100 has been an incredible journey, and today was a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and impact of women in business.

    I left feeling empowered and so grateful. Thank you to everyone who made this day so special!

    Here’s to lifting each other up and creating space for more women to shine.
