SLN Photography in Calne specialises in maternity photography. Sam creates relaxed, styled bump photoshoots with curated maternity dresses, personalised styling and a warm studio experience.
Hi — I’m Sam, the photographer behind SLN Photography, based in Calne with a cosy studio just a short drive away in Royal Wootton Bassett. I specialise in maternity photography and I believe every pregnancy deserves to be celebrated with images that feel beautiful, honest and timeless. Why choose SLN for your maternity photoshoot? With over nineteen years of professional experience, I combine a calm, story-led approach with hands-on styling to create portraits that reflect your personality and the quiet magic of this moment. I aim to make sessions comfortable and enjoyable — many clients tell me the relaxed atmosphere, a comfy sofa, hot drinks and a few biscuits help them feel at ease and look their best in front of the camera. My maternity sessions are tailored around you. We start with a consultation so I can learn how you’d like to be photographed, what colours and tones suit your home, and whether you’d like partner or sibling images included. I keep a curated selection of maternity dresses and fabrics available to borrow, and I’ll send a session guide with styling tips so you feel prepared and confident on the day. I encourage natural connection, gentle posing and plenty of movement to capture real smiles, quiet moments and the gentle curve of your bump. On the day of the shoot I work at a relaxed pace, offering gentle direction and creative lighting choices to deliver a mix of elegant posed portraits and softer, emotive images. Whether you prefer dramatic studio looks or soft, minimalist styling, my aim is to create photographs you’ll love to display and share. After the session we’ll meet to review your images and choose the final selections together — I’ll help you decide on prints and wall art if you wish, and ensure the finished pieces suit your home and style. As a wife and mum, I know how quickly this time passes. I’m passionate about preserving it with warmth, care and an eye for detail. If you’re looking for an experienced, specialist maternity photographer in Calne who prioritises comfort, storytelling and timeless imagery, I’d love to hear from you and help capture this precious chapter.
