Portland Studios Photography

Portland Studios is an award-winning Baby Art studio based in Park Mall, Ashford, specialising in maternity photography that celebrates the calm, strength and beauty of pregnancy. Led by director David Hebditch, our team takes a gentle, personalised approach: we take the time to get to know you so each maternity photoshoot reflects your story and the connection you share with your growing family. Our maternity sessions are designed to feel relaxed and natural. Whether you prefer soft, classic portraits in the studio or a more atmospheric location shoot across Kent, we tailor the session to your vision. We provide a warm, inviting studio atmosphere, a selection of dresses, outfits and props, and a calm pace that helps expecting mothers feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. What sets Portland Studios apart is our focus on the full bump-to-baby journey. Our FREE Bump to Baby package supports families through pregnancy and beyond, with multiple shoots and keepsakes that document these fleeting moments. We combine professional lighting and technical expertise with a documentary eye for genuine emotion — capturing both posed, elegant portraits and spontaneous, tender moments that you’ll return to for years to come. Safety, comfort and respect are central to how we work. We know that every pregnancy is unique, so we collaborate closely with you beforehand to plan poses, styling and the mood of the shoot. On the day, our experienced team maintains a calm, friendly environment where partners and siblings are welcome to be part of the experience. Choosing Portland Studios means choosing a specialist maternity photographer in Ashford who understands how to balance beauty, authenticity and confidence in every image. If you’re looking for pregnancy photography that feels personal, professional and heartfelt, we’ll help you capture this once-in-a-lifetime chapter with care.
