Emma Stoszkowski is a specialist maternity photographer in Carlisle, creating natural‑light, relaxed pregnancy photoshoots that celebrate the beauty and emotion of expecting mothers.
Hi — I’m Emma, a local Carlisle photographer who specialises in maternity photography across Cumbria and the North East. My approach is simple: create honest, natural‑light images that freeze the feeling of this very special time. Pregnancy is full of quiet wonder, playful moments and real emotion; my job is to capture all of it in photographs you’ll look at for years and still feel the same way. I bring the same relaxed, people‑first style I’ve developed over a decade of documenting milestone moments. Whether you prefer the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District as your backdrop or the familiar comfort of your own home, I use the great outdoors and natural window light to create true‑to‑life, timeless images rather than fleeting trends. Expect gentle direction, plenty of laughter and an atmosphere that puts you at ease — when you’re relaxed, your photos naturally follow. Sessions are tailored to you. I love including partners and siblings, personal props, or simple wardrobe choices that complement your shape and story. I’ll guide poses that flatter and feel natural, blend into candid moments, and encourage connection so the final collection reflects your personality and the relationship you’re building. Many clients tell me they found the shoot calming and fun — that’s always the aim. My photography is rooted in craft and care: a BA in Photography, years of experience shooting families and celebrations, and an eye for composition and light. I focus on delivering images with feeling — honest, warm, and timeless. If you’d like, we can meet for a cuppa (I’ll put the kettle on — Yorkshire tea!) to chat about locations, styling and how you’d like to remember this season. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer in Carlisle who prioritises atmosphere, emotion and authentic imagery, I’d love to work with you. Let’s create maternity photos that feel like you — meaningful, natural, and made to last.
