What makes the approach special? Claire believes every maternity session should be bespoke. She takes time to get to know you before the shoot, discussing locations, wardrobe and the mood you’d like to capture. Whether you prefer the privacy of your home, the charm of a garden or the soft tones of her studio in Bromley, Claire tailors the session to suit you. She blends candid moments with gentle direction to produce authentic portraits that still feel artful and composed. How Claire works with you: sessions begin with a friendly pre-shoot conversation to plan timings and styling. On the day, Claire creates a calm, unhurried environment so you can relax and enjoy the experience. She offers guidance on poses and will nudge reality in small ways to capture the most flattering, emotive shots — never forcing staged moments, but shaping them so they look and feel real. After the shoot, you receive a secure gallery to view and select your favourites, and options for high-quality prints and bespoke keepsakes. Claire’s passion for photographing families, baby bumps and new life is clear in every image she takes. She treats each maternity session as a privilege — an opportunity to capture a fleeting, incredibly special time.
