Woodard Photography

I’m Linda Woodard and maternity photography is one of my true passions. Based in Pound Hill, Crawley, I specialise in capturing that extraordinary, fleeting time when you are expecting — the little details, the quiet moments and the connection between you, your partner and your bump. My aim is to create images that feel authentic, comfortable and completely you. My approach is relaxed and natural. I work with poses that suit your body and energy so you always look like yourself — just a confident, beautiful version of you with your bump celebrated. Many clients appreciate that I bring a wardrobe of maternity dresses and carefully chosen props so you don’t have to worry about outfits; everything is there to help the session feel easy and special. Whether you prefer a timeless studio portrait, a lifestyle shoot in your home or an outdoor session in the local woods or park, I tailor each shoot to how you want to remember this time. Working with families is part of what I love, so partners and siblings are very welcome to join a maternity session. I take time to listen to what matters to you before the shoot, and I guide posing gently so everything feels natural rather than staged. My sessions are designed to be unhurried — to allow for movement, laughter, hugs and the simple presence of family. I also offer thoughtful editing and retouching, using techniques that preserve natural texture and tone while subtly enhancing the image. The result is clean, timeless photographs that work beautifully in albums, frames and wall displays. Why choose me? I’ve built my business around family life and know how important these memories are. I care about safety, comfort and creating a warm atmosphere where you can relax. From wardrobe to lighting, every detail is chosen to help you feel confident and to produce photographs you’ll treasure for years to come. If you’re in Crawley or nearby in West Sussex and are looking for specialist maternity photography with a personal, gentle touch, I’d love to hear from you and help capture your bump in a way that feels truly yours.
