Little Gems Photography is a true maternity specialist based in Burton upon Trent. Emma (owner and lead photographer) has built her business around capturing that quiet, powerful connection between mother and baby — what she calls the beauty of the bump. With a light, airy aesthetic and a love of simplicity, Emma focuses on timeless images that celebrate your changing body and the story you’re about to begin. Why choose Little Gems for your maternity photos? Emma is a passionate, self-taught photographer with years of experience photographing expectant mothers. She has invested in training and in developing a calm, supportive approach that helps even those who feel nervous in front of the camera to relax. Her sessions are centred on your comfort: she guides poses, advises on wardrobe and styling from the studio wardrobe, and helps you find the quiet confidence to shine. Emma often recommends natural hair and makeup so the photos feel authentic and won’t date quickly — the result is elegant, understated maternity images that put the focus where it belongs. The Little Gems studio offers a warm, welcoming environment designed for maternity sessions, and Emma also shoots outdoors when clients prefer the soft natural light of nearby locations. Whether you choose studio or outdoor bump photography, the emphasis is on connection — partner and sibling moments can be included when you wish, and every session is tailored to what makes you comfortable. Emma’s work is shaped by personal experience and empathy. Having supported many families through fertility challenges and worked with children and parents from all backgrounds (she describes the studio as neuro-spicy friendly), she understands how precious these moments are. That empathy comes through in her gentle direction and patient pace during sessions. If you’re looking for pregnancy photography in Burton upon Trent that feels personal, relaxed and expertly crafted, Little Gems Photography specialises in bringing out natural beauty and emotion in every maternity shoot.
