Emily Kate Studios is a Chichester-based maternity specialist offering relaxed, light-filled pregnancy photos. Emily captures authentic bump portraits that celebrate your unique journey.
Hello — I’m Emily, the photographer behind Emily Kate Studios in Chichester. As a mum myself, I know how precious and fleeting pregnancy feels. I specialise in maternity photography, focusing on creating calm, natural, and beautifully lit images that celebrate this extraordinary chapter. My approach is gentle and personal. I aim to make every session feel relaxed and joyful, whether you prefer the comfort of my cosy home studio or the soft, natural light of a nearby outdoor location. Sessions are tailored to you: I welcome partners and siblings so we can capture the tender connections that surround your bump. My goal is to create images that feel authentic — soft, timeless portraits that you’ll want on your walls and in your heart. What sets me apart is the combination of a parent’s perspective and professional training. I completed a Foundation Degree in Photography at Brighton University and became a mother in 2023, which deepened my understanding of how to photograph expecting parents with patience and sensitivity. I work at your pace, guiding poses and using simple prompts so you can relax and enjoy the moment — the best photographs come from genuine connection, not stiff direction. Before your session I’ll send a short questionnaire and a pre-session guide so we can plan the look and feel you want. That helps me personalise everything from wardrobe suggestions to location choices, ensuring your images reflect your personality and story. Safety, comfort and creating a warm atmosphere are top priorities throughout the shoot. Based in Chichester, West Sussex, I’m passionate about documenting the quiet magic of pregnancy — the curve of a bump, a shared laugh, a tender touch. If you’re looking for expert maternity photography with a friendly, mum‑led approach, I’d love to meet you and capture this special time in your life. Emily x P.S. I also photograph families and newborns, so if you’re thinking ahead to life after your baby arrives, I’m happy to chat about capturing the whole journey.
