Jayne Poole Photography

Jayne Poole is a specialist maternity photographer serving Bideford and the wider North Devon area, known for a calm, artistic approach that puts expecting mothers at ease. With over two decades of portrait experience and recognised qualifications as a Licentiate of the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP), Jayne blends technical skill with a warm, personal touch to create timeless images of pregnancy. Her maternity sessions are designed around you. Whether you prefer the controlled comfort of her Great Torrington studio or the character of a favourite location, Jayne works collaboratively to plan the look and mood of your shoot. She offers gentle direction and styling guidance while encouraging natural movement and authentic moments, so the photographs feel effortless rather than staged. Many clients appreciate Jayne’s relaxed manner — she takes time to listen, suggest poses and colour palettes, and ensures the session flows at a pace that suits you. Styling is a key part of Jayne’s process. If you have a colour scheme or a room where you’ll hang the final artwork, she will tailor the session to complement your home and personal taste. She maintains a versatile selection of wraps, fabrics and props and is happy to include meaningful items you bring along. The result is a personalised collection of maternity portraits that capture the beauty, emotion and quiet strength of this special time. Practical care and professionalism underpin every shoot. Jayne prepares the studio to be comfortable and private, and for location sessions she researches settings in advance to make the most of light and backdrop. After the session, images are carefully edited and presented in a password-protected gallery for private selection and ordering. Many clients choose to pair maternity portraits with later family or newborn sessions to create a lasting story of early parenthood. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Bideford or North Devon who combines artistic vision with a reassuring, friendly approach, Jayne Poole offers a thoughtful, bespoke service. She aims to make every mother feel confident and celebrated, producing keepsake images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
