Mia Valeriya Photo

Hi, I’m Mia — your photographer in Ashford, Kent, specialising in maternity photography. Pregnancy is a singular chapter full of emotion, anticipation and beauty, and I build each maternity photoshoot around those personal moments. As a specialist in maternity and family photography, my focus is on creating calm, confident sessions that make expecting mothers feel comfortable, radiant and truly seen. My approach is gentle and conversational: I guide poses that flatter and feel natural, look for soft, flattering light, and tune into the small, meaningful gestures that tell your story. Whether you prefer classic, elegant portraits of your bump or more relaxed documentary-style images that include partners and family, I bring an eye for detail and a commitment to authenticity. The result is a gallery of images that reflect the mood of your pregnancy — intimate, joyful and timeless. Working with me is uncomplicated and friendly. Before the shoot we’ll have a quick chat about your vision, wardrobe and preferred locations around Ashford and the surrounding Kent area. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere, offering gentle direction while allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally. I pay close attention to composition, connection and lighting so your photos feel personal rather than staged. While maternity is my core speciality, I also photograph families, so many clients choose to combine a maternity session with partner or sibling portraits to capture this transition as a family milestone. My priority is to deliver images you’ll want to display and revisit — photos that honour this fleeting, powerful moment in your life. If you’re searching for a maternity photographer in Ashford who focuses on authenticity, comfort and beautiful, timeless maternity photos, I’d love to hear about your pregnancy and help you plan a session that feels just right. Let’s create images that celebrate this incredible chapter.
