Specialist maternity photography in Chiswick, West London. Catherine Orr Deas creates calm, elegant pregnancy portraits — from milk-bath and gold-leaf studio shoots to natural outdoor sessions.
Chiswick Child Photography is a specialist maternity photographer led by Catherine Orr Deas, based in Chiswick, West London. Catherine’s work is focused on celebrating pregnancy with thoughtful, elegant imagery that feels both personal and timeless. As a maternity specialist she understands the unique needs of mum to be and builds every session around comfort, warm direction and natural emotion. Why choose Catherine for your maternity photoshoot? Her approach blends studio craftsmanship with a sensitive, relaxed manner. In the West London studio she offers beautifully styled gown sessions, milk-bath shoots using seasonal flowers, and artistic gold-leaf options — all photographed with an eye for sculptural form, soft light and flattering poses. For clients who prefer an open-air feel, Catherine also photographs outdoor maternity sessions in spring and summer, favouring natural light and locations that complement the bump and connection between parents. What makes her approach special is the combination of technical skill and a calm, reassuring atmosphere. Catherine guides poses in a gentle, conversational way so even those who feel camera-shy leave with images that look natural and confident. She uses a considered wardrobe selection (gowns, silks and wraps) and tasteful styling choices to create images that focus on the beauty of pregnancy rather than trends. Real, non-toxic flowers are chosen for milk-bath sessions to add subtle colour and texture, and alternatives can be discussed for sensitivities. How Catherine works with clients: each maternity shoot is treated as a collaborative, personalised experience. From initial discussion to the day of the shoot she listens to your preferences — whether you want intimate, semi-nude artistry, classic portraiture in gowns, or relaxed outdoor images with partner involvement. Sessions are paced for your comfort, with attention to breaks, warmth and privacy. The result is a curated set of edited photographs presented for private viewing so families can choose the images that mean the most to them. Rooted in Chiswick and serving West London, Catherine brings a specialist’s care to every pregnancy photoshoot. If you want maternity photographs that are elegant, considered and truly about your experience of expecting, Chiswick Child Photography offers a calm, professional and artful approach tailored to you.
