Papaya Peach Photography in Bletchley specialises in award-winning maternity photoshoots. Rachana crafts fine-art pregnancy portraits with a curated couture gown collection and a calm, confidence-building approach.
I’m Rachana, the face behind Papaya Peach Photography, and I specialise in maternity photoshoots from my studio in Bletchley, Milton Keynes. My work is rooted in a simple belief: pregnancy is a unique chapter that deserves to be celebrated with confidence, beauty and timeless imagery. Over the years I’ve developed a fine-art, magazine-style approach that clients describe as natural, expressive and elegant — the kind of images you’ll be proud to display for years to come. Why choose me as your maternity photographer? As a mum myself, I bring patience and an intuitive way of working with nervous or camera-shy clients. I take time to listen to how you want to feel in your images and guide you gently through poses that flatter and honour your changing body. I’m proud to be an award-winning maternity photographer; my images have been recognised for their classic lighting and considered composition, and I bring that same attention to detail to every session. My sessions are styled and relaxed. Clients have access to my couture gown collection — over 40 dresses and carefully chosen accessories — so you don’t need to worry about what to wear. Whether you prefer fine-art, dramatic Rembrandt-inspired lighting, airy and natural looks, boho or outdoor sunset images (available seasonally from April to September), we’ll create a look that feels authentic to you. The experience is collaborative: before your session we discuss styling, location (studio or outdoor), and your comfort needs. On the day I create a calm, reassuring atmosphere where you can relax, connect with your partner or family, and enjoy being photographed. I hand-edit every chosen image to a polished, timeless finish so your final gallery feels cohesive and gallery-ready. Based in Bletchley and serving Milton Keynes and surrounding areas, I aim to make maternity photography accessible and meaningful. If you want a maternity session that celebrates your bump with creativity, compassion and confidence, let’s chat — I’d love to help you preserve this precious moment in a way that truly reflects you.
