Ashleigh Shea Photography

Hi lovelies — I’m Ashleigh, a specialist maternity photographer based in Chislehurst with a warm, custom-built studio in Orpington. My focus is simple: to create timeless, elegant maternity images that celebrate the incredible journey of pregnancy. I photograph expecting mothers with sensitivity, attention to light and form, and a relaxed approach that puts you at ease. My maternity sessions are designed around you. Whether you prefer the intimacy of the studio — with carefully chosen gowns, flattering lighting and classic styling — or a natural outdoor location that reflects your personality, I’ll tailor the shoot to fit your comfort and vision. I work closely with each client during a pre-session consultation to choose wardrobe, poses and settings that flatter and feel authentic. Partner and sibling inclusion is welcome when you’d like a family element, but my core expertise remains focused on maternity and celebrating this unique chapter. What makes my work different is the combination of technical skill and a nurturing atmosphere. I aim to capture real, empowering moments: the quiet confidence of a mother-to-be, the connection between partners, and the subtle details that make this time special. My editing style is clean and timeless — images you’ll still love years from now. On session day I prioritise your comfort. I guide gentle, flattering posing and use lighting to sculpt the bump and highlight emotion, never rushing the process. Many clients tell me they felt relaxed and beautiful, and that genuine emotion shows in the finished images — which is exactly what I strive for. If you’re searching for maternity photography, bump photography or a pregnancy photoshoot in Chislehurst, Orpington or the wider Bromley/Kent area, I’d love to chat. My approach is personal, practical and creative — designed to deliver maternity photos that become keepsakes you’ll treasure.
