Raj Bhalla Photography

I specialise in maternity photography from my base in Cobham, serving families across Surrey. Pregnancy is a unique, emotional chapter — my aim is to create images that celebrate the beauty, strength and intimacy of that time. Whether you want an elegant studio portrait, a soft outdoor session in Surrey’s open spaces, or a quiet, private shoot with your partner or children, I tailor each session to reflect your personality and comfort. My approach is relaxed and reassuring. I focus on flattering poses, natural light and simple styling so the images feel timeless rather than trendy. Most mums tell me they felt unsure about having a photoshoot while pregnant; I make it easy. From a pre-session chat about what to wear and whether to include family members, to gentle direction during the session itself, my priority is to help you feel confident and at ease in front of the camera. I believe maternity photos are for your family as much as they are for you. Years from now your child will treasure seeing those first images that mark their beginning — images that capture the connection between you, your partner and siblings, and the loving anticipation you felt. That’s why I take care to craft images with emotional value as well as beautiful composition. Practical options include studio sessions at my home studio or location shoots in the Surrey area. I recommend scheduling a maternity photoshoot between around 30–36 weeks for the most flattering silhouette, but I’m happy to advise on timing to suit your pregnancy and comfort. For families who want both maternity and newborn coverage, I offer a coordinated Bump-to-Baby option so your images feel part of a continuous story. After the session I guide you through a relaxed viewing appointment where we select the images that best represent your experience. If you’re looking for specialist maternity photography in Cobham and Surrey — photos that are flattering, honest and made to last — I’d love to help you capture this precious time. Get in touch for a friendly consultation and let’s plan a session that celebrates your bump and your family’s story.
