Sinéad Patching is a Coventry-based maternity specialist offering tasteful, natural maternity photoshoots at home or outdoors. Her relaxed, 'best of both worlds' approach creates timeless, elegant images.
I’m Sinéad — a Coventry photographer who specialises in maternity photography and proud to offer pregnancy photoshoots across Coventry, Warwickshire and the West Midlands. My work is about capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy: the bump, the connection, the small details that feel huge when you look back years from now. Some of my images have been featured in Photo VOGUE and purchased for a permanent gallery collection, which reflects my commitment to high-quality, artful photography. My approach to maternity photography is what I call the best of both worlds: relaxed and natural during the shoot, but polished, classic and luxurious in the final images. I won’t ask you to contort into uncomfortable poses or wear outfits that don’t feel like you. Instead, I gently guide you into flattering light and positions, helping you feel confident and comfortable so the photographs feel honest rather than staged. Whether we work in your own home, a chosen outdoor location, or a bespoke mobile studio for solo or couple portraits, the focus is always on tasteful, timeless results. Before your session you’ll receive a maternity photoshoot handbook and a simple booking form so we can choose the best location, discuss wardrobe ideas and what matters most to you. I’m happy to advise on clothing and styling — my aim is to create images that you’ll be proud to print and display. During the shoot I prioritise atmosphere: calm, unhurried, and often quietly joyful. I’ll offer gentle direction where it helps, but many of the most authentic moments are the ones you don’t see coming. After the session I professionally edit the images in my signature style to make colours sing and light feel perfect — always avoiding over-processed retouching. If you love tasteful, elegant bump photography and want a photographer who treats your pregnancy with respect and artistry, I’d love to chat. I specialise in maternity and work locally in Coventry and the surrounding areas, creating pregnancy photos you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
