Jay Duncan is a specialist maternity photographer in Chapeltown. With a calm, fun approach he captures beautiful bump and pregnancy portraits—studio, themed shoots and support from MUA.
Hi, I’m Jay Duncan — a specialist in maternity photography based in Chapeltown. With over 20 years behind the camera, I’ve made it my mission to create maternity photos that let you remember the quiet, powerful moments of pregnancy. I approach every maternity photoshoot with patience, planning and a relaxed, fun atmosphere so you can feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens. Why choose me? Because I treat maternity as a focused speciality. I know how to photograph expecting mothers in flattering, natural ways that celebrate the bump and the emotion of the moment. Whether you want soft, intimate portraits, dramatic studio lighting, or a themed session that tells a story, I use my experience to craft images that feel timeless — a mix of colour and striking black & white to suit your style. What makes my approach special is the attention to detail and the relaxed environment I create. I bring props, carefully chosen backdrops and, when requested, maternity dresses that complement each session. I can also work with trusted make-up artists to ensure your look is exactly what you imagined. My shoots are paced around you — I work with your energy, taking time to capture those small expressions, quiet smiles and the natural connection with partners or older children if you’d like family involvement. How we work together: before your session I’ll chat through ideas and any images you love, so we can plan outfits, backdrops and poses. On the day I keep things light and friendly — it’s all about having fun and feeling at ease. I guide poses gently, capture candid moments as they happen, and make sure you leave with images that let you relive this chapter for years to come. Based in Chapeltown, I specialise in maternity and pregnancy photography and welcome bookings from across the area. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer who values comfort, storytelling and real emotion, get in touch — let’s plan a maternity photoshoot that celebrates you.
