One Life Studio is a specialist maternity photographer based in Crowthorne, led by Melanie Woodward. With a warm, personal approach and more than a decade working with expectant mothers, Melanie focuses on creating pregnancy photographs that feel natural, elegant and deeply personal. Why choose One Life Studio for your maternity photoshoot? Melanie positions herself as a maternity specialist: she understands the delicate balance of comfort and artistry needed when photographing expecting mothers. Sessions are tailored to you—whether you want soft studio portraits in the dedicated, welcoming space at the Eversley studio or more relaxed, natural images on location around Crowthorne and nearby woodlands. Her experience with Bump to Baby photography means she can capture the whole arc of your early parenthood, from pregnancy through newborn and beyond. What makes Melanie’s approach special is her gentle, empathetic manner and attention to detail. She takes time to listen to your ideas, offers guidance on styling and poses that flatter your changing body, and creates a calm atmosphere where clients can feel at ease. Lighting, simple wardrobe choices and carefully considered compositions are used to highlight the beauty of pregnancy rather than distract from it—resulting in timeless maternity photos that you’ll be proud to display. How the process works: start with a friendly consultation to discuss location, wardrobe and the look you want. On the day, Melanie guides you through the session, helping with poses and movement to capture authentic, elegant moments. The studio environment is warm and private, making it ideal for intimate maternity portraits; partners and older children are welcome to join if you’d like family-inclusive images. For clients interested in continuing the story, the Baby Club option records bump, newborn and baby milestones with a cohesive visual style. Melanie’s work is rooted in portrait photography with a clear focus on maternity, delivered with kindness and professionalism.
