Photography By Us

Photography By Us are specialists in maternity photography, serving Chesham and the surrounding Herts, Beds & Bucks area from our friendly studio near Great Missenden. Run by fully qualified, award‑winning photographers Janice Nicholson and Nikki Burrett, our approach is built around calm, confident portraiture that celebrates the beauty of pregnancy. Why choose Photography By Us for your maternity photoshoot? We focus on creating authentic, flattering images that reflect the real you — whether you want classic, timeless portraits or a softer, contemporary look. Our work has been recognised in major industry competitions and carried awards for maternity and studio portraits, so you benefit from photographers who combine technical expertise with sensitivity and an eye for detail. What makes our maternity sessions special is the atmosphere we create. We know that pregnancy can feel vulnerable as well as joyful, so we prioritise your comfort and safety from the first conversation. Many clients prefer a relaxed studio session around 32–35 weeks when the bump is beautifully defined; we’ll guide you on poses, wardrobe choices and simple styling to achieve striking, natural images. For those who want the full story, our Bump‑to‑Newborn approach lets us capture the whole transition — gentle, skin‑to‑skin newborn portraits taken in the early days that complement your maternity images. How we work with you: every session begins with a friendly consultation — by phone, email or in person — to discuss your vision and any special requests. On the day we create a calm, unhurried environment with professional lighting, a selection of backdrops and optional hair & make‑up support so you feel prepared and confident. We work with soft direction rather than rigid posing, encouraging natural interaction between you and your partner or children if you wish to include them. Our promise is beautiful, lasting maternity portraits that you’ll cherish. Whether you want an intimate black‑and‑white series, soft environmental images or photographs to display at home, Photography By Us tailor each session to you. To discuss a maternity photoshoot in Chesham or to arrange a consultation with Janice or Nikki, please get in touch — we’d love to help capture this remarkable moment in your life.
