Sarah Thew Photography is a specialist maternity photographer based in Consett, Co Durham — recognised for award-winning, gentle portraiture that celebrates the beauty of pregnancy. Sarah brings more than two decades of experience working with families and expecting mothers, combining professional training with a warm, reassuring approach that helps clients feel calm and confident in front of the camera. The studio is a cosy, welcoming space filled with carefully chosen props and soft styling options to suit every mood — from classic, timeless portraits to more contemporary, fashion-led bump photography. Sarah’s aim is to create maternity photos that look and feel like you: relaxed, beautifully lit, and simply joyful. She listens to each client’s vision in advance and tailors the session so your personality and connection are the centre of every image. How the session works is straightforward and designed to keep things comfortable. Prior to your maternity photoshoot you’ll have an opportunity to discuss styling, wardrobe and any ideas you’d like to include. On the day, Sarah’s calm manner and gentle direction help you feel at ease — she guides natural poses, captures intimate moments and frames flattering compositions that honour this important stage. Whether you want elegant studio portraiture, soft-lit close-ups of your bump, or images that include a partner or older children, the focus is always on creating timeless keepsakes. Sarah’s experience photographing families and newborns informs her approach to maternity work: she understands how to create a relaxed atmosphere, how to work sensitively with light and texture, and how to preserve the emotion of the moment. The result is a collection of maternity photos that families treasure — images that reflect the anticipation, strength and tenderness of pregnancy. Based in Consett and serving parents across the North East, Sarah Thew Photography combines a personal, attentive service with professional expertise in maternity photography. If you’re looking for a devoted maternity specialist who cares about detail, comfort and capturing authentic connection, Sarah offers calm, personalised sessions that celebrate your pregnancy and create heirloom-quality portraits to cherish for years to come.
