His work aims for timeless images you’ll be proud to display at home—portraits that honour the emotional journey of pregnancy while keeping the experience comfortable and enjoyable.

That means clear guidance for poses, simple wardrobe and prop suggestions when needed, and plenty of time to capture natural expression. Partners and family are welcome to join if you want a few shared portraits, but the emphasis remains on creating elegant maternity images that centre the mother and the connection she’s building with the new baby. How a session works: from the first enquiry you’ll find a friendly, professional process. Sessions are conducted in Robert’s Cowes studio in a relaxed setting designed to put clients at ease. He will discuss styling and preferences beforehand, guide you through the shoot with clear direction, and ensure the final images are presented in a way that helps you choose prints or wall art that suit your home.
