Strahila Photography

Hi, I’m Strahila — a maternity specialist based in Coulsdon with over 10 years of experience capturing the quiet, joyful moments of pregnancy. I specialise in lifestyle maternity photography that feels natural and unforced: honest bump photography and pregnancy portraits that reflect how you really are in this extraordinary chapter of your life. My approach is gentle and relaxed. I don’t rely on stiff posing or gimmicks; instead I guide you with simple prompts and create a calm atmosphere where you can move, connect and be yourselves. Whether we shoot in the comfort of your home or at a favourite outdoor spot in Coulsdon, Surrey or South London, my aim is to photograph authentic interactions and the small details that make each pregnancy unique. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring a documentary sensibility to pregnancy photography, balancing natural candid moments with considered, timeless compositions. I understand how to work with natural light and real family life to produce images that feel warm, intimate and enduring. Expect a nurturing, unhurried session where your comfort is the priority — I’ll help you relax, feel confident and enjoy the experience. How we work together: we start with a friendly chat to choose the right location and style for your session. On the day I arrive prepared but unobtrusive, focusing on capturing connection rather than forcing poses. I’ll offer gentle guidance and playful prompts so your personality and the relationship with your partner or family shine through. After the shoot I carefully edit your images to create a cohesive collection of pregnancy photographs you’ll want to print and cherish. Based in Coulsdon and serving the surrounding areas, I am honoured to document this special time. If you’re looking for maternity photography that celebrates authenticity and warmth, get in touch — I’d love to hear about your vision and help you create timeless photos of your pregnancy.
