Zoe Parkes Photography

I’m Zoe Parkes — a motherhood photographer based in Burcot, Bromsgrove, specialising in maternity photography. With over 15 years’ experience and the perspective of a mum of two, I understand how powerful and fleeting the pregnancy journey is. My aim is to capture the quiet strength, tenderness and connection of this time with natural, timeless images that feel authentic to you. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring a calm, warm presence that helps expecting mothers relax and feel confident in front of the camera. My style is neutral, simplistic and understated — focused on natural light, soft tones and classic compositions that will look beautiful on your walls for years to come. I position myself as a specialist in maternity and pregnancy photography, so every session is shaped around celebrating the bump, your connection with your partner or older children, and the emotions that matter most. What makes my approach special is how personal the experience feels. Sessions are baby-led and relaxed — I take time to get to know you before your shoot, guide you on outfit choices and poses, and create an atmosphere where you can be yourself. My Burcot studio is intentionally homely and comfortable, with ground-floor access, baby-changing facilities and free parking right outside so you can arrive and settle in easily. I focus on building a gentle rapport so even those who feel camera-shy leave feeling proud of their images. How we’ll work together: we’ll start with a friendly conversation to plan the style and mood you want. On the day, I’ll guide you through poses, use subtle direction to capture natural moments, and make space for quiet, intimate portraits as well as more styled images. After the shoot, I carefully edit each image to enhance its timeless quality while preserving emotion and detail. Photography matters because it preserves a chapter of your life you’ll never get back. If you’re in Bromsgrove or nearby and looking for maternity, pregnancy or bump photography that feels personal and beautifully simple, I’d love to chat and help you create images you’ll cherish.
