pregnancy photography

Considerate, at home photography across Leeds and West Yorkshire, honouring pregnancy with care, not perfection

Pregnancy is a time of transformation as our bodies change and we prepare for what is to come. It can be a tender and vulnerable transition that deserves to be held with care. Pregnancy photography sessions carry no pressure to pose or perform. They honour you as you are, while celebrating all that you are becoming, with time and space to pause, rest and simply be.

Pregnancy is often lived quietly, while so much attention is focused on what comes next. These sessions make space to honour the becoming the strength, the vulnerability, the waiting, and the way your life is already changing.

My photography is deeply informed by my work as a doula. I understand pregnancy as a physical and emotional transition, and I work slowly and respectfully, following your lead. Sessions are calm, unhurried and grounded in care, with space for pauses, emotion and tenderness.

Whether we are in your home or in your favourite local location, you are at the heart of these sessions. When partners and children join us, we focus on your connection with no need to pose or perform.

what my clients say

"I had a wonderful time during my pregnancy photoshoot in the woods with Lorraine. Lorraine made me feel so safe and we had so much fun! I felt like a fairy goddess, my inner child felt so nurtured and she really came out to play. It was truly magical and I'll cherish the photos forever."

How Does It Work?

If you like what you see and you would like to work with me, let's have a chat.
We can talk through your photography desires and how I can help you bring them to life. We can then find the package that works for you. Once we have talked through the ideals we will then set a date that works for you. I will then be there to capture you in all of your glory whether this is chilled out at home in the comfort of your own space or stepping out into the wild, in a local location. This is all about you.

FAQs

Why is the shoot in my home or location?

My motherhood photography sessions are aimed to help you feel comfortable and empowered. We often feel the most comfortable in our own homes or in places that matter to us. There is no pressure to be anything other than yourself (or for your home to be pristine). The focus of the images are on you and a beautiful location can add to your images too. By not paying for a studio, I can also make my photography sessions financially accessible.

Can my partner and older children be in the photographs too?

Yes, of course. My photography sessions focus on you and all that you are, so partners and children (and even pets) are more than welcome. My 'deeply held' package is perfect for this and allows the time and space for you all to be just as you are.

What should I wear?

Whatever makes you feel comfortable and special all at the same time. This might be completely naked or in your favourite dress. You choose and we can try different looks on the day. Neutral colours and pattern-less clothes photograph well and sometime just an open pair of jeans and a bra is enough. I will happily support you to pick something from your wardrobe or you may want the shoot to be a perfect reason for buying yourself something new.

When is the best time in my pregnancy to have a photography session?

Pregnancy photography sessions are a great way to capture the transition your body goes through when growing your baby(ies). This is why I suggest booking your session between 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.
