We focus on clean, elegant compositions that highlight the connection between you and your baby, and between you and any loved ones you choose to include. Many clients value the quiet, unhurried pace of the shoot: time to change outfits, breathe, and enjoy the moment rather than rushing through poses. Working with Shy Violet Photography is a collaborative, supportive process. Before your session we’ll discuss your ideas and preferences so we can plan lighting, tone and styling that suit you. On the day Gaynor creates a friendly, reassuring atmosphere — ideal for clients who may feel nervous about being photographed. The result is a gallery of natural, emotive images to treasure. Gaynor’s passion for family and maternity photography is grounded in years of experience capturing life's big, tender moments.
