Pregnancy Photo Shoot - Studio Session

When is the best time to book your maternity photo shoot?


I get answer this question a lot!

The answer is when your are ready. Some expecting mums and parents like to capture their pregnancy milestone early any time after 25 weeks. When your bump is just popping and you are still in the fabulous second trimester and are full of energy.

Some mums like wait until bump is in full bloom any time between 30-34 weeks.

Each mummy will feel differently and your beautiful baby bump will grow and pop at different times. So I like to keep in touch with my clients to find out the best time for them.

I photograph maternity session all around Harpenden, St Albans and Hertfordshire either outdoors or in clients homes.

I’ve recently been offering clients to capture their pregnancy portraits in my home studio. The light is simply divine and offers simplistic, modern and classic portraits for your maternity journey.

Get in touch if you would like to have a chat about recording your pregnancy memories.

Ps. for the Month of March, I’m offering a complimentary pregnancy & Maternity session for all newborn shoots booked.

Cosy Baby & Family Photography Session

Simple, timeless & emotive Portraits

Using natural light in the studio creates such soft, gorgeous light to these portraits.

Step into the warmth of family moments captured in time. When you join me for a session, it's not just about the perfectly posed smiles, it's about embracing the snuggles, the kisses, and those beautiful in-between moments that truly paint the picture of your family's love story.

Meet little Luan, just 8 weeks new. His eyes, a mesmerizing shade of blue, twinkled with curiosity and wonder as he interacted with his adoring mum and dad. It's these precious interactions, filled with genuine emotion, that I treasure capturing the most.

Sure, we'll snap a few photos for grandma where everyone's looking at the camera, but it's those candid shots that truly steal the show. The ones where love radiates from every frame.

As I look back on the shoot together, I'm reminded of the magic that unfolds when families come together in front of the lens. It's not just about creating stunning images (although we certainly did!), it's about freezing moments in time that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Thank you for allowing me to capture the beauty of your family's love story. Here's to many more precious moments shared together.

Studio Maternity Photography

Classic, Elegant and fun pregnant photography

Step into the cozy embrace of a growing family's love story. Today, I'm thrilled to share with you the magical moments from a recent maternity session that truly captured the essence of anticipation, love, and the beauty of new beginnings.

Meet our radiant mama-to-be, glowing with the joy of welcoming her second child into the world. With her darling son by her side, the bond between mother and child shines brightly in every frame. From tender snuggles to playful moments of excitement as her little boy gently touches her growing bump, these images are a testament to the incredible journey of motherhood.

Throughout our session, we explored a variety of styles, from timeless elegance to casual comfort, allowing us to capture the full spectrum of this family's story. Whether fully dressed in sophisticated attire or embracing the simplicity of partially dressed moments, each photograph exudes warmth and intimacy.

As I look through these images, I'm reminded of the beauty that lies in the everyday moments shared between loved ones. It's not just about posing for the camera; it's about capturing the genuine connections, the laughter, and the love that fill our hearts.

To our radiant mama and her growing family, thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special chapter in your lives. Your love and joy are palpable in every photograph, and I feel truly honored to have been able to preserve these precious memories for you.

As we eagerly await the arrival of your newest family member, may these images serve as a reminder of the incredible journey you're on together—a journey filled with love, laughter, and endless moments of warmth and connection.

Mummy is wearing some of my client wardrobe including:

Mums kind words after receiving her photographs

Absolutely loved the whole experience, Emily made us feel so comfortable and worked so well with my 3 year old son to get some amazing shots individually and together. The space Emily uses is beautiful and I am so grateful for the special photos we captured. I highly recommend and hope to see Emily again in the future for some more family shots. Thank you, thank you, thank you xx

Winter Maternity Shoot in the Snow. Maternity Photo Shoot Ideas

Embracing the Beauty of Winter on a Maternity Photo Shoot

Talk about a winter wonderland! It’s hard to believe this location is just located next to a small residential road. However, when driving by and seeing the snow clinging to those beautiful trees and I thought it looked like Narnia!

The stunning mum-to-be had the most perfect blue dress that worked so well against the twinkly snow. Plus it was long so mum was able to wear thermals and cosy snow boots to keep warm.

If you are due over the winter months, get in touch to capture some dreamy and beautiful photographs. I’m sure we’ll get some snow this winter.

Magical Snow Maternity Photo Shoot - Hertfordshire & London

Dreamy Maternity Photos in the Snow

Winter is a time for snuggling, cuddling, and family. Maternity and pregnancy photographs captured during the snow and winter season are so magical.

I love these dreamy snowy and romantic winter hues.

I captured these stunning images of Daynor and her gorgeous bump one cold winter’s morning. We chatted all things babies while recording these precious memories of her second pregnancy. Mum was super relaxed and confident in front of the camera and really enjoyed the experience.

The contrast of the pink/ red dress against the snow is simply divine.

Outdoor Family Session in Harpenden, Hertfordshire

Family Portraits in a stunning Barley field

Golden hour in the Barley Field in Hertfordshire.

This field is so incredible special. The light at golden hour is soft and gentle and simply is offer . The light casts some stunning golden light over your family.

The Taylor Family contacted me about capturing some updated family photographs with their children a month ago. Mum really loved the idea of the barley fields and really wanted to try golden hour.

So one Friday night at the end of June we made some memories and captured some magic ✨


But I’ll be honest, this session started off tricky, the eldest son was suffering from hay fever (and it was pretty bad 🥲) after a little chat with me we decided he could play a few running races and wanted to play some games with me. Phew! He was a such a team player and got stuck in with the fun.

Plus the chocolate biscuits I had brought for the end of the shoot were a big hit!

I think the last image might be my favorite. I am considering printing it as a sample piece.

I love capturing this exciting milestone for families, whether it’s your first child or last, there’s something so special about documenting the time you spent daydreaming of who was inside that sweet baby bump - who they would be, what they’d look like, their first smile and laugh.

We had the most perfect morning strolling through the golden yellow fields, laughing and chatting all things pregnancy and newborns. Carys looks truly glowing in these photographs.

Brand Photography - Sets and Reps



I’m Chantelle and my passion for health & fitness started at a young age from growing up spending most of my time in a gym, training and competing in gymnastics. This experience shaped me for who I am today and taught me that learning new skills, developing strength, and fitness is process that's imbedded into your lifestyle. There are no quick fixes and you should enjoy the journey.  Be prepared to fall then get up again and keep going, but the journey is worth it. However long it takes and how however many times you take it. 

 

Now I’m that person who takes you on that journey, makes sure you have fun on the way, shouts your name from the side line, picks you up when you fall and congratulates you at all of those milestones. 

 

I train women to get strong, feel good and achieve goals they couldn’t do on their own. 

 

I specialise in ante & postnatal exercise and strength and conditioning.  I’ve helped women regain strength and confidence following pregnancy & birth and helped them understand what their body and mind is capable of. 


I love my job

Jen, Lingerie Inventor & Founder @no.1bra

Jen earned her title as an inspirational woman when she changed the design of the typical bra so that it actually works with the natural shape of women’s bodies– not against it. Hail the world’s most comfortable No. 1 Bra.

For over 30 years Jen has designed bras for some of the world’s biggest brands – from high end to high street, so she knows her way around a DD cup or two. She was inspired by talking to women who divulged their uncomfortable bra stories and realised that as women, we just accept that bras are uncomfortable. And the reason for this? The underwired structure hadn’t changed in 50 years, yet women’s lives and bodies have.

Jen’s revolutionary design ensures that women can now have a drawer full of bras that are so comfortable, you forget you are wearing them and not only do they deliver on comfort, but they also deliver on support and style too!
