I’ve been busy working away this evening retouching this weeks photography sessions and packaging up orders ready to send out tomorrow. The weeks are flying by at the moment and it’s wonderful to be so busy.

I’ve had a lot of lovely maternity portrait sessions recently and I’ve chosen to share this pregnancy photograph from a session at my Clients home in Holland Park.

I used some vintage lace for this portrait which I think works really well, it’s such a delicate fabric giving an elegant feel to the picture.

I’m often asked which stage I recommend for pregnancy photography and I usually say anytime between 32-36 weeks but it really depends on when you feel most comfortable. For example some women feel they would like to capture their bump earlier at around 29-30 weeks, this is often the case if expecting twins and carrying a little larger or booked in for an earlier delivery date.

Booking as far in advance as possible is also recommend, usually after your 20 week scan, this is particularly important if you are booking the maternity and newborn photography package to ensure that a time period around your due date can be reserved. However, occasionally late minute spaces do become available so it is always worth checking.

I work in black and white and bring the studio to your home so both sessions are very relaxed, private and informal with beautiful results.
