Sandstorm Photography

Sandstorm Photography is a specialist maternity photography team based in Chesterfield, GB, dedicated to creating classic, elegant and timeless maternity images. With over two decades of experience and formal training including Royal Photographic Society modules and MPA qualifications, Neil brings technical skill and artistic vision while Debra supports each session as an expert stylist. Together they focus on celebrating pregnancy with images that feel personal, natural and beautifully crafted. Why choose Sandstorm for your maternity photoshoot? Their approach is founded on experience and sensitivity. They understand how special and intimate this time is and design sessions to make you feel comfortable, confident and respected. Whether you prefer the privacy of a home session or the controlled light of their studio, they bring carefully chosen wraps, props and backdrops so your portraits reflect your style and home décor. Hair and make-up can be arranged if you’d like a completely polished look. What makes their maternity photography special is the combination of skilled photography and styling. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried so you can enjoy the experience — partners and children are welcome to join. Sandstorm tailor each shoot to your wishes: classic portraits, soft environmental images in your home, or gentle, stylised bump photography that focuses on shape, light and emotion. Images are edited according to your preference, with tones and finishes chosen to create a timeless result that will sit beautifully on the wall or in an album. How they work: after an initial conversation to understand your vision and timing (typically 28–34 weeks is ideal), Neil and Debra plan the session, suggest wardrobe and props, and coordinate any additional services such as hair and make-up. On the day they set up a calm, respectful environment, guiding poses with a gentle, reassuring style that helps you relax in front of the camera. Final images are professionally retouched and delivered in a format that suits your needs. As Chesterfield-based maternity specialists, Sandstorm Photography combine technical expertise, artistic flair and warm, personal service to create maternity photographs you’ll treasure. If you’re looking for pregnancy photography that feels elegant, genuine and tailored to you, Neil & Debra offer a thoughtful, professional experience from first contact to finished images.
