Cramlington-based maternity specialist creating relaxed, story-led bump photography. Coastal, studio or at-home sessions around 30–34 weeks capture your pregnancy with gentle, natural light.
I’m Emma — a Cramlington-based maternity photographer who loves telling the quiet, powerful stories of pregnancy. My work centres on relaxed, authentic bump photography that feels like you: gentle, natural and unforced. Whether you want the soft drama of a seaside sunrise, the sheltered dunes of Seaton Sluice, or the warmth of your own home, I tailor each session to the mood and memory you want to keep. Why choose me? I approach maternity shoots as a storyteller rather than a poser. I’ve been making pictures for decades and my style is bright, natural and focused on connection — the way hands rest on a belly, the small moments between partners, and the quiet joy of expectation. I suggest booking around 30–34 weeks to capture that beautiful, confident bump, but I always adapt to what feels right for you. How I work with you: we begin with a friendly conversation about location, clothing and the kind of images you love. If you prefer the coast, Longsands and Seaton Sluice are favourites for sweeping, emotive backdrops; if the weather or season makes outdoors difficult I can arrange studio time in Newcastle or come to you for a relaxed at-home session. On the day I keep things calm and unrushed — I’ll guide you into natural moments, suggest simple poses, and focus on lighting that flatters without fuss. All edited images are shared in a private online gallery so you can view and choose at your leisure. Extras and care: if you’d like a styled studio session I can work with a makeup artist to make the session feel like a treat; I’m happy to advise on outfits and timing. If you want a joined maternity–newborn journey, I can capture both stages with a softer continuity in style so your family story reads beautifully from bump to baby. Based in Cramlington and working across Whitley Bay and North Tyneside, I’m proud to be part of the local community and to create images families love to live with. If you value relaxed, story-led maternity photography that honours this brief, extraordinary time in your life, let’s chat and plan a session that feels just right for you.
