Simone Brunt Photography

Hi, I’m Simone — an award-winning maternity photographer based on Canvey Island, specialising in maternity photography that celebrates pregnancy with warmth, simplicity and style. My work is driven by a love of those quiet, powerful moments that mark the journey to parenthood. I combine a clean, natural aesthetic with carefully chosen props and studio gowns to create timeless images that feel both intimate and real. My approach centres on making you feel comfortable and confident. Maternity sessions with me are relaxed and client-led: I guide gentle poses that flatter your shape, encourage natural movement and create opportunities for genuine connection — whether that’s a quiet profile shot, a soft-lit silhouette, or a tender moment with a partner. I have a range of beautiful gowns, covers and drapes in the studio which help achieve an elegant, editorial look without overpowering the simplicity and emotion of the images. I believe the best maternity photos come from a calm environment where you can be yourself. My studio on Canvey Island is designed to feel warm and welcoming so you can relax, enjoy the session and focus on the experience. I mix classic portraits with softer, lifestyle-style images to give you a varied gallery of memories you’ll cherish. If you’d like, family members and siblings can be included — I often add a few gentle family frames to capture the anticipation together. From the first enquiry to the final edited images, I aim to make the process simple and personal. I’ll help with styling ideas, wardrobe choices from the studio collection, and little details that bring your vision to life. My editing is hand-finished to produce elegant, natural tones that suit your home and your story. While maternity is my core focus, I also photograph families and portraits and love helping clients document life’s milestones. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer on Canvey Island who values honesty, calm direction and beautiful, timeless images, I’d love to speak with you and see how we can capture this special chapter together.
