Maternity Photography in Hampshire

Beautiful, intimate maternity portraiture for women who want to remember this extraordinary chapter exactly as it felt.

Photographed privately in the New Forest, Hampshire, between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy.

The quiet in-between season

Pregnancy is such a strange little space between two versions of life. Your baby is already part of everything, and yet you haven't met them quite yet.

Your body is changing. Their movements are becoming familiar. And somewhere amongst the appointments, lists and preparations is a version of you that exists for only a few months.

Maternity photography gives you something tangible from that time — not simply photographs of your bump, but portraits of you within this chapter of your life.

Beautiful, intimate and completely personal to the woman being photographed.

Maternity sessions are usually photographed between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully defined but you're hopefully still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.

Your photographs can be entirely about you, or your partner and children can be included too. Some of the most meaningful images happen in those small interactions — a hand on your bump, your child curled beside you, or the two of you quietly taking in how much life is about to change.

We'll plan what you'd like to wear beforehand, from simple underwear and soft knitwear to beautiful dresses or pieces that show the shape of your body. You don't need an elaborate maternity wardrobe for photographs to feel special.

Sessions can take place at my private natural-light location in the New Forest, Hampshire, or in your own home for something particularly personal to your family.

And When Your Baby Arrives…

For some mothers, maternity photography is only the beginning.

When your baby arrives, you're welcome to return for a newborn session, preserving the tiny details, sleepy stretches and the way they fit against you in those first weeks.

My approach to newborn photography is natural and unhurried. There are no elaborate sets or heavily posed photographs; the focus is simply on your baby, your connection and the small details you'll want to remember.

Sessions can take place in your own home or at my private New Forest location, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling whenever your baby needs it.

If you're planning both maternity and newborn photographs, we can talk about the two sessions together when you enquire.

Kind Words From Mothers

  • The photographs are absolutely stunning. She has captured this special chapter of my life so beautifully, and every image feels natural, elegant, and full of emotion. Looking through the gallery brought tears to my eyes because she managed to preserve not only how I looked, but how this moment in my journey felt.

    • Harriet

  • There’s something incredibly special about the way she works. Rather than feeling like you’re “having your photo taken”, it feels like spending time with a friend who just happens to have an extraordinary eye. She’s so warm, genuine and easy to chat to that you quickly forget the camera is even there. Nothing feels staged or overly posed, which makes the photographs feel so authentic.

    — Rachel

  • If you’re hesitating because you’re worried you don’t feel your best, especially during pregnancy, I’d encourage you to book anyway. I don’t think many women ever feel completely camera-ready, but Rebecca has a wonderful way of helping you see yourself differently. She captures the love, anticipation and happiness in a way that goes far beyond appearance.

    - Rebecca

  • I will treasure these photographs forever and am so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rebecca to anyone considering a maternity photoshoot. Thank you, Rebecca, for making me feel so beautiful and for creating images that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Maternity sessions are usually photographed between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage your bump is beautifully defined, while you're hopefully still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.

    I recommend getting in touch earlier in your pregnancy if possible, particularly if you have a specific date in mind, so we can plan your session in plenty of time.

  • You’re very welcome to book your newborn session before your baby arrives, using your due date as a guide. Once your baby is here, we can confirm the final session date.

    I don’t believe newborn photographs need to happen within a tiny window after birth. Your session is designed around you and your baby, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling whenever needed.

    Sessions are always led gently around your baby’s needs, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles and settling throughout.

  • We’ll plan your wardrobe together before your session. Some women choose beautiful lingerie or simple underwear and knitwear, while others prefer dresses, shirts or softer pieces that show the shape of their bump.

    You don’t need to buy an entirely new wardrobe. A few carefully chosen pieces that feel like you are more than enough.

  • Absolutely. Your maternity or newborn session can include your partner and children if you’d like them to be part of the photographs.

    We can create a mixture of photographs of you alone as well as quieter family moments, so the collection still feels centred around this particular chapter of your life.

  • Maternity sessions can take place at my private natural-light location in the New Forest, Hampshire, or in your own home.

    Newborn sessions can also be photographed at home, which can be particularly lovely during those first weeks when you may not feel like packing everybody up and heading out.

  • Yes. Your photographs are private unless you give me explicit permission to share them.

    I never assume that photographs can be used on my website, social media or elsewhere simply because you've booked a session. Your privacy and your family's privacy remain entirely your choice.
