Julie Rose, specialist maternity photographer in Bridgwater, creates relaxed, colourful bump shoots. Choose studio black & white portraits or natural‑light location maternity photos across Somerset.
Hi — I’m Julie, the photographer behind Lollipop Photography UK, based in Bridgwater, Somerset. I specialise in maternity photography and bump shoots, creating colourful, classic images with a relaxed vibe that celebrate this very special time. My approach to pregnancy photography is gentle and personal. I work with expecting mothers to build a comfortable shoot that reflects your style — whether that’s a powerful black & white studio portrait or a soft, natural‑light session outdoors. I often use my home studio for bump shoots: a darker studio setting lets me employ studio lighting to craft striking monochrome images. For those who prefer the countryside or coast, I love using the ever‑changing Somerset landscape, from the Quantock Hills to local beaches, as a meaningful location backdrop. Experience matters when photographing maternity. I studied photography for four years before launching Lollipop Photography UK in 2011, and I bring that training together with a calm, reassuring manner. My sessions are unhurried — I guide poses and give gentle prompts so you feel at ease and your natural connection shows through. The result is timeless maternity photos you’ll treasure. Booking and preparation are straightforward. I’ll chat with you beforehand about styling, clothing and props so your shoot feels personal and relaxed. Many clients like simple wraps and textured fabrics for classic bump shots; others choose a favourite dress or meaningful items to include. I’m happy to advise on colours and locations to complement your vision. As a specialist in maternity photography in Bridgwater and across Somerset, my priority is to create beautiful, authentic images while making you feel comfortable and cared for throughout the process. If you’re looking for a maternity photoshoot that honours your pregnancy with warmth, creativity and professionalism, I’d love to hear about your plans and help capture this unforgettable chapter.
