Specialist maternity photographer in Abingdon. Gemma Brooks creates calm, empowering bump photoshoots—outfits provided and a warm studio to help expecting mothers relax and shine.
As an award‑winning maternity photographer based near Abingdon, Gemma Brooks specialises in maternity photography with a gentle, reassuring approach tailored for expecting mothers. A mother of three herself, Gemma understands how quickly this chapter passes and is passionate about capturing the quiet strength, soft curves and intimate connection of pregnancy in images you will treasure forever. Gemma’s style is relaxed, natural and empowering. Rather than rushed or heavily posed sessions, she aims to create a calm atmosphere where you can feel at ease. The studio in Dry Sandford (conveniently between Abingdon and Oxford with plenty of parking) is warm and welcoming, with a carefully curated collection of outfits and simple props to complement your look. Many clients tell her they leave feeling confident and uplifted — words reflected in the feedback that praises how relaxed and empowered they felt during their session. How Gemma works: she begins with a friendly conversation to understand your vision — whether you want intimate bump portraits, soft classics, or a contemporary look. Sessions are tailored around what makes you comfortable: outfit choices, favourite poses and if you’d like to include a partner or sibling. Gemma’s experience with newborns and family photography also means she can advise on bump‑to‑baby options for those who want to document both pregnancy and early days with their new arrival. During the shoot Gemma uses soft lighting and simple backdrops to keep the focus on you and your connection with your baby. Her approach is patient and attentive; she guides gentle, flattering poses while allowing natural moments to unfold. The result is a collection of images that feel personal, timeless and authentic — perfect for keepsakes, wall art or sharing with loved ones.
