Brighton-based specialist maternity photographer Michelle creates authentic, artful pregnancy portraits. Relaxed home‑studio or on-location sessions in Hove to celebrate your bump and story.
I specialise in maternity photography from my home‑studio in Hove and on location across Brighton & Hove. As a Creative Portrait Photographer I’m drawn to the quiet, powerful moments that surround pregnancy — the hush before a new life, the curve of a bump, the intimacy of two becoming three. My aim is to create timeless, dreamlike portraits that honour this unique phase of your life, producing images that feel honest, beautiful and utterly yours. My approach is rooted in gentle direction and a relaxed atmosphere. I work with both natural and studio light depending on what best suits your vision, and I encourage a calm, unfussy session where you can feel comfortable and seen. Whether you want stylised, fine‑art images or soft, documentary‑style photographs that capture candid emotion, I tailor each maternity photoshoot to reflect your personality and story. I love helping with simple styling ideas and small, meaningful touches that make the pictures feel intimate and personal. From our initial conversation to the finished images, I aim to make the process effortless. We start with a pre‑session chat to discuss location, mood and any ideas you have; on the day I create a warm, safe environment so you can relax and focus on the moment. My background in portraiture and fine art gives me a keen eye for composition and tone — I seek the delicate balance between posed portraiture and organic, unscripted moments so every image has depth and emotion. Based in Brighton, GB, I’m available for maternity sessions across Sussex and further afield on request. Expect a friendly, professional experience and photographs that become trinkets of time — keepsakes you will return to again and again. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who treats pregnancy with care, creativity and respect, I’d love to hear about your vision and help you capture this extraordinary chapter.
