Holly Ferrand Photography

If you want maternity photos that feel honest, powerful and unmistakably you, Holly Ferrand is a specialist you can trust. Based in Bristol and photographing across the UK, Holly focuses on maternity photography as a true speciality — not an add-on. Her approach is storytelling-led and cinematic: she seeks the quiet, messy, joyful moments that reveal how you feel as you become a parent. Holly’s work is rooted in real experience. After having her own C-section, she discovered how transformative it is to see those early emotions preserved — that memory of how you looked, how you felt, who was there. That personal connection shapes every maternity session she shoots. Expect sensitivity, respect and a photographer who understands the physical and emotional journey you’re on. As a doula as well as a photographer, Holly brings extra care and calm to sessions, creating a space where you can relax and be yourself. Her style is moody, cinematic and full of heart. Rather than stiff poses, Holly prefers gentle prompts, movement and natural interactions that allow authentic connection to shine. Sessions can happen where you feel most comfortable — whether that’s the warmth of your home, a favourite outdoor spot, or somewhere that holds meaning for your family. Partners, siblings and pets are absolutely welcome; maternity is about the relationship you’ve already started building together. Working with Holly is easy and low-pressure. She takes time to get to know you before the shoot, tailoring the session so you feel supported and confident. During the photoshoot she offers relaxed guidance — small, natural prompts rather than rigid instruction — so the images feel lived-in and true to who you are. The final images are edited with a cinematic, moody tone that elevates everyday moments into timeless keepsakes. Choose Holly Ferrand if you want maternity photos that celebrate strength, vulnerability and real connection. Her speciality in maternity photography, combined with lived experience and doula-informed care, delivers images that your family will return to again and again. If you want bold, intimate pregnancy portraits that tell your story — not just how you looked on one day — Holly is waiting in Bristol to create something unforgettable with you.
