We all have photographs of the various exciting moments of our lives such as birthday parties, weddings & graduations but, unfortunately, nothing that records one of the most important time (or surprise!) of our lives ... our pregnacy
For centuries pregnant women have covered their bodies under layers of clothing to hide what they then considered to be an 'ugly bump' that marred their natural beauty
In 1991 Demi Moore showed the world that pregnacy is not an 'ugly bump' when her beautiful maternity portrait appeared on the front cover of Vanity Fair magazine. Since that day a host of other celebrities, including Myleene Klass, Britney Spears, have captured this wonderful time in their lives with maternity portraiture
Today's mothers are no longer shy of their changing shapes and are now celebrating this amazing period in their life with professional photography to capture the natural beauty of their changing body and of the precious life growing within
Just as maternity fashions have evolved from concealing a woman's pregnant stomach to highlighting it, expectant mothers today have moved on from recording their pregnacy with an occasional snapshot to having a professional portrait session that can include both parents-to-be
Your pregnancy is a very special time that should be documented for the future. We recommend that your bump-to-newborn portraits are taken during the last two months of your pregnancy to capture the greatest changes in your body.
Pictures in colour with optional classic black and white reprints, digital enhancements and framed enlargements
Bumps are in fashion!
Your shoot will become a true family heirloom for years to come by you and your child
Clothed .... or not! It is all down to your own personal comfort level & the style of picture you would like. You may, of course, wear as much or as little clothing as your like
