- Maternity Photo Sessions -

As a rule of thumb, from the seventh month onward, your bump has already achieved that beautiful round shape, so you are ready for the photo shoot. Find that perfect time frame when the shape of your tummy and your ability to pose are in balance. Usually, the closer you get to your due date, the more difficult it will be to move but every person is different. The most important is to feel good and enjoy the experience, these pictures are your lifetime memories! 

The studio is in Chingford, 6 minutes from Highams Park overground station. There is free parking on the street. Check the contact page to find me on the map.

Feel free to select from our wardrobe based on your package. In addition to maternity dresses, we offer a variety of veils, fabrics, and accessories for your use.

This is a great opportunity to create lasting memories with your family. Please note that our studio has limited space and can only accommodate a maximum of two adults and two children for a photo session.

Please bring skin-coloured underwear and a pair of high-heeled shoes, preferably in a nude colour, to match the outfits. If you have a favourite outfit at home that you’d like to use for the photo shoot, feel free to bring it. Also, don’t forget to include some elegant shoes, trousers, and a shirt for your partner. You’ll also look awesome wearing his shirt! Don’t believe me? Ask him!; -)

The short answer is: enjoy the experience and let me worry about that! Now for the long answer: I started taking pictures 20 years ago. Before that, I was a classical ballet teacher and a television choreographer. So how will that help you, you might ask? Well, most people don’t know, but a choreographer doesn’t just work with dancers; he teaches postures, poses, or walking styles for actors, singers, presenters, and even reporters. Also, who do you think is working with catwalk models? You’re right, a choreographer! So, I may know one or two things about body movement and expression… ;) Trust me, there is no reason to panic; you’re in good hands!

I don’t wanna brag (yes I do actually) but Miki Ionita is one of the best make-up artists in the UK. Winner of the Best Armani Make-up Artist 2017 and one of the only two UK make-up artists who attended the Venice Film Festival in 2019, Miki has a friendly approach, a great personality, and unparalleled skills. You can check Miki’s work here and here. Add this amazing service to your photo session (check for availability) for only £99 (eyelashes included) and you will be one of the happiest ladies, looking in the mirror and saying the same phrase that I’ve heard so many times when the make-up is done: 

 Oh my God, this is exactly what I wished for my entire life!

It’s simple. You contact me to check availability for the day you want. Once we decide the date, there is a £99 (£149 if you want also the make-up) non-refundable deposit to secure your booking (this fee will be deducted from your final order) You will enjoy the photo shoot on the date of your booking. After the photoshoot, you will pay the remaining balance and in a maximum of 2 days you will receive a link to a private gallery where you will be able to see all the pictures from the photo session with minor corrections applied. These are low-resolution images and don’t represent the final result, the only purpose is for you to choose your favourite images. You can choose the number of images already included in your package or you can choose more (the additional cost of the extra images is specified in each package) From the moment you choose your pictures, it will take approximately two weeks for your pictures to be ready. The images will be edited and carefully retouched. Stretch marks, spots, and moles will be removed, the skin will be slightly smoothed and small corrections on the sensible areas (i.e. double chin)  will be applied (unless otherwise stated). Depending on your chosen package you will get 1 to 3 Artwork Pictures. At this point, you will receive another link to the online private gallery, password protected, where you can download your high-resolution pictures. Please note that unedited pictures are not included in the packages and are not available for purchase.
