Schryver Photo positions Helen Schryver as a specialist maternity photographer based in Chelsea, offering relaxed, natural maternity and pregnancy photography for expecting mothers across London and the South East. Helen’s approach is quietly confident and intentionally non-cheesy: she favours lifestyle sessions that celebrate the everyday intimacy of pregnancy, capturing the light, the small gestures and the honest emotion that make this time unique. Why choose Helen for your maternity photoshoot? Her work blends gentle direction with documentary instinct. Rather than staging overly posed images, Helen guides you into real moments — a quiet conversation, a hand on a bump, a laugh shared with a partner — and frames them with a calm, editorial eye. This produces modern, timeless images that feel like you and look beautiful on the wall. How she works: every shoot begins with a friendly discovery conversation so Helen can learn what matters to you. Sessions can take place in the comfort of your home or in chosen Chelsea and London locations, where natural light and meaningful surroundings help tell your story. Helen keeps sessions relaxed and unhurried, prioritising connection over perfection so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Her process extends beyond capture: you’ll be invited to a viewing and ordering appointment where Helen’s experience in crafting printed family heirlooms comes into play. She offers handcrafted fine art albums, framed wall arrangements and matted prints designed to sit proudly in your home. Helen believes photographs should be handled and enjoyed — not left on a hard drive — and she helps clients select the best print options to preserve memories for future generations.
