Jonathan Stockton Photography

Hi, I’m Jonathan Stockton — a North East photographer based in Cramlington who specialises in maternity photography. I really love my job, and I bring the same care and attention to maternity sessions that I give to every family and newborn shoot. My images are honest, spontaneous, relaxed and informal with an artistic characteristic, and that approach sits perfectly with photographing this incredibly special chapter in your life. As a maternity specialist I focus on creating portraits that feel genuine and timeless rather than overly posed. I work to put you at ease from the moment we meet so the pictures reflect how you really are — confident, tender, excited, or quietly contemplative. Sessions are tailored to you: whether you prefer the soft, controlled environment of my Cramlington studio or a natural, on-location shoot somewhere meaningful in Northumberland, I aim to create calm, personal images that celebrate your pregnancy. My process is straightforward and relaxed. I recommend booking while you’re expecting so we can find the best time for your session and plan any styling or locations. On the day, I’ll guide you through simple, flattering poses and unobtrusive direction to capture natural interactions, shape and light. I favour muted, earthy tones and minimal props to keep the focus on you and your bump — an aesthetic that leans toward classic and artistic rather than gimmicky. Experience with newborn and family photography means I understand the wider journey of welcoming a child, and many clients choose to continue that story with newborn and family sessions later on. After your shoot I carefully edit each chosen image to bring out the mood and quality I know you’ll want to hang on your walls. Finished images are presented in a private online gallery so you can easily view, share and order prints. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Cramlington or the North East who treats each session with sensitivity, creativity and experience, I’d love to hear from you. My aim is simple: to create beautiful, honest keepsakes that celebrate your pregnancy and the start of your family’s story.
