Clare Long Photography

I specialise in maternity photography because there is nothing quite like capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of an expectant mother. Based in Chislehurst and working across Kent and SE London, my approach is gentle, personal and creative — designed to make you feel truly celebrated. As an award‑winning photographer I blend classic portraiture with a soft, floral-inspired aesthetic that highlights your natural glow and the meaningful shape of your bump. My sessions are relaxed and guided so you can be present in the moment. I love to work with simple shapes, flattering light and thoughtful styling to create images that feel timeless rather than trendy. Whether you choose to be photographed in my cosy, purpose-built studio or prefer an outdoor location, I take care with every detail — from colours and textures to the flow of the session — so you leave with portraits that feel both intimate and elegant. Many clients enjoy including partners or children in part of the shoot; I’ll help you create warm, connected images that show your family together as you prepare for this next chapter. What I bring to each maternity photoshoot is experience, a calm atmosphere and a maker’s eye for styling. I often incorporate floral touches and handcrafted elements — these subtle details are part of my signature look and help produce images with personality and heart. My aim is always the same: to make you feel comfortable, to find flattering poses that feel natural, and to capture those small, unrepeatable moments so you have beautiful portraits to look back on. If you want a session that feels personal, beautifully styled and relaxed, I’d love to work with you. I’ll guide you from first enquiry through to your private gallery, offering support on outfits, poses and locations so the whole experience is simple and enjoyable. Book a maternity session with me in Chislehurst and together we’ll create keepsakes that honour this extraordinary time in your life.
