CMS Photography

Hi, I’m Catherine — a specialist maternity photographer based in Little Hallingbury, on the edge of Bishops Stortford. At CMS Photography I focus on creating calm, elegant maternity photos that celebrate this unique time in your life. My approach is gentle and personal: I work with you to choose poses, colours and outfits that flatter your shape and reflect your style so the images feel truly yours. My studio is a warm, comfortable space overlooking fields and horses — the perfect backdrop for relaxed, timeless maternity photography. Whether you want classic, soft-lit portraits of your bump, intimate silhouette shots, or photographs that include your partner and older children, I’ll guide you through the session at a pace that feels right. I encourage clients to bring meaningful items or wardrobe pieces so the final images tell your story and look beautiful on your walls. With years of experience and training alongside some of the UK’s best photographers, I blend technical skill with a friendly, unhurried manner. Sessions are designed to put you at ease: I aim for a relaxed atmosphere, simple direction and flattering styling so you can enjoy being photographed. My experience with newborn and family work also means I understand how to capture the connection between you and your loved ones — perfect if you’d like a combined maternity and family portrait. I also offer bespoke artwork options to help you display your maternity images at home. If you have a specific wall or frame in mind, I can show examples and advise on finishes so your portraits become a treasured part of your home. If you’re expecting and would like maternity photos in Bishops Stortford or the surrounding area, get in touch and we’ll plan a comfortable, personalised session to celebrate this special time. I limit my bookings to ensure plenty of time and attention for each client — I’d love to help you create maternity portraits you’ll cherish for years to come.
