Maternity Sessions
Pregnancy can feel like such a strange little in-between. You’re waiting to meet the person who is about to change everything, while your body is already doing something pretty incredible.
A maternity session is a chance to slow everything down for a moment and capture this part of your story before your baby arrives.
Whether this is your first baby, your last baby, your rainbow baby or another little person joining an already busy family, these photographs are about remembering what life looked and felt like while you were waiting for them.
Partners & Siblings welcome
Your maternity session can absolutely be a family experience.
Partners are welcome to be involved as much or as little as you would both like, and we can capture everything from more intimate photographs together to relaxed family portraits.
For older siblings, I keep things easy and pressure-free. Children don’t need to stand perfectly and smile at the camera for us to create something beautiful. For younger siblings, we make it like a fun game and there's never any pressure for them to sit still and smile. We let them cuddle in, interact with you and your bump, and capture the little relationships that make your family yours.
This is your session
Maternity sessions take place at my photography studio in Ayr (or at an outdoor area) and are relaxed, natural and completely tailored to you.
You don’t need to know how to pose or feel confident in front of the camera. I’ll guide you throughout your session so everything feels comfortable and natural, while still creating those beautiful pictures.
We can create a mixture of photographs of you on your own, portraits that focus on your bump, photographs with your partner, and plenty with siblings too.
If you already have little ones, I really encourage you to bring them along. There is something so special about capturing them cuddling your bump, talking to their new baby brother or sister, or simply being themselves with you. These photographs become part of their story too.

When Do I book?
The best time to have your maternity photographs taken is usually between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your bump is beautifully defined while you’re hopefully still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
I will always say there is no “right” time to celebrate your pregnancy. You are welcome to book whenever you feel ready, whether there’s a visible bump yet or not. Often rainbow parents will want to document milestones and that is absolutely fine with me. If reaching a certain week or milestone feels significant to you and you want to document it, we will!
I will always plan your session around what feels right for you.
Although your photographs won’t take place until later in your pregnancy, I always recommend booking your maternity session as early as possible. My diary can fill up quickly, particularly for weekends, so booking early means your session is secured and there’s no disappointment when you reach the perfect stage for your photographs.
You don’t need to have outfits, styling or all the little details figured out when you book. We can plan all of that together closer to your session..
