Jodie Cooling Photography

Hi, I’m Jodie — a specialist in maternity photography based near Banbury, Oxfordshire. My work is rooted in natural light and a warm, relaxed approach. Pregnancy is a unique chapter in your story and I love helping you celebrate it with images that feel honest, tender and beautifully timeless. I shoot maternity sessions in my cosy natural‑light studio and also love the soft glow of golden‑hour outdoors when the weather allows. Whether you want intimate, pared‑back portraits of your bump, emotive images with your partner and children, or elegant silhouette work against warm evening light, my aim is the same: to create photographs you’ll reach for again and again. My style is gentle and collaborative. I spend time getting to know you so the session feels comfortable and calm — no pressure, plenty of laughter, and thoughtful direction when you want it. I offer styling guidance and practical tips beforehand (what to wear, how to layer, simple accessories) so you feel confident in front of the camera. During the shoot I focus on connection and natural moments as much as the posed shots, capturing the quiet, everyday beauty of impending motherhood. I believe great maternity photography becomes family heirloom artwork. I carefully craft each image with an eye for light, texture and the small, meaningful details: a hand on a bump, a soft smile, the curve of a profile. After the session you’ll receive a selection of lovingly edited images presented in a private online gallery — images that are perfect for sharing, framing or keeping just for you. I’m proud to be a trusted local photographer for expecting mothers in Banbury and the surrounding Oxfordshire villages. If you want a specialist maternity photographer who values comfort, creativity and natural light, I’d be honoured to document this extraordinary time with you. Let’s have a chat about your vision and plan a session that feels truly yours.
