London maternity portraits | G

admin — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 06:53:00 +0000

G has just given me permission to show some of her maternity portraits taken a few weeks ago. She and her husband A took a lot of time planning their session and came in for a consultation a week ahead of their portrait session, so they could maximise their session time & best choose what to bring with them.

G brought her wedding veil, with its softness and wonderful draping qualities.

She had also raided one of my favourite Soho fabric shops for some translucent material which also draped wonderfully, giving us a range of new lines. This is my fave from this session.

You can see more maternity portraits at my London maternity portrait site.

London maternity portraits | Gretchen

When Gretchen booked her maternity portraits for some pregnancy photography, and I gave her the studio address, it turns out that we had been neighbours and she, her husband and dog used to live upstairs until a few months ago. Here are some photographs from their London session that they’re very happy to share.

London maternity portraits | Claire

Claire and her partner Sam came in today for their maternity ordering session and have given permission to share a couple of their and my favourites from their session several weeks ago. The main reason for the session was to have one of the fine art style maternity prints to be framed on their wall.

London maternity portraits | new site

admin — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:29:00 +0000

I’ve just launched a new maternity site. It seemed that a great deal of the portraits I do are maternity ones and it made sense to have one specific web site covering them. It talks about the session itself, has a gallery of art images likes the ones presented for my Fellowship, and options for clients to present their images. I’ll also add some photographs of the products such as albums and storyboards in the coming weeks.

London maternity portraits | Jayne

Jayne came for her maternity viewing today – and was pretty chuffed with the results. I was chuffed too – and Jayne is happy for me to share the images below. The wonderful draping is part of her wedding outfit from about five years ago that she loved and was excited to wear again.

Clients Lucy and her partner Matthew have just been at the studio selecting an art print for their baby’s nursery from their maternity session at the weekend. Lucy studied drama, which really showed when it came to their session, bringing in a selection of clothes including a funky black hat and lacy lingerie. Their aim was to choose one main print to hang in the nursery – this is the one they chose, which is going to be printed onto watercolour paper and gallery mounted.

Jennifer’s maternity album

Jennifer booked in for a maternity portrait session last week – and decided that she would like a Queensberry digital (coffee table) style album. We took quite a number of images in the studio and also went on location in Narrow Street, near where she lives in east London. I pre-designed her album and today we made a few changes so it’s just about finished. Below is one of my favourite images of her and her bump.

A ‘missed’ appointment

I was expecting to do a maternity studio shoot today with Andrea, whose baby was due on September 3. I say ‘was’ because Andrea missed her appointment today with the best excuse in the world – her baby arrived this morning. So a big welcome to Summer, who is expected to be allowed home in a couple of weeks … when we can do some newborn shots!

Art deco to dogs

This week has been a great time for location shoots. I did a maternity shoot with Nouf on Wednesday at her art deco styled home, which was great fun. She’d seen the shots of Tia with a pink translucent scarf and liked that style, so chose a number of floaty dresses and scarves for her shoot. Two oriental screens made amazing backdrops and the art deco mirrors were just stunning. We also had oodles of natural light and Nouf looked great.

Yesterday, I photographed Polly and Humphrey Wood and daughter Kate Reardon with Polly’s two dogs – it was most definitely a family photograph of five! We took some family shots inside, some outside in the garden (dodging the builders) and then went for a walk in nearby Parsons Green. Kate was celebrating the success of her website Top Tips for Girls which has been live for about a week. The site’s members answer such questions as “How to be happy” and “How to remove chewing gum from hair” – and can rate contributions from others.
