Leanne Beau Photography

Hey lovely — I’m Leanne, the photographer behind Leanne Beau Photography in Dorchester. As a mother of three I know how fleeting pregnancy is and how priceless those bump images become. I specialise in maternity photography, focusing on simple, natural and beautiful portraits that put the mum-to-be at the heart of the story. My style is light, warm and neutral — I believe less is more so the attention stays on the connection, the curve of the bump and the emotion between you and your loved ones. Sessions take place in my cosy studio where I provide styling, props and access to a curated client wardrobe. Everything is arranged to create a calm, comfortable environment so you can relax, enjoy the experience and feel like yourself in front of the camera. I work gently and conversationally to help even the most camera-shy mums feel at ease. My approach is relaxed and personal: we’ll chat about your vision before your session, choose outfits from the wardrobe if you wish, and I’ll guide you through poses that feel natural and flattering. I love capturing small details — hands on bump, tender glances, and the quiet moments that tell your story. Many clients choose a studio maternity session on its own or combine it as part of a bump-to-baby journey to document this special season and the early days after birth. Wherever you choose to photograph your pregnancy, my aim is the same: to create timeless images you will treasure long after the nursery days are gone. Why choose me? Because I photograph with the heart of a mum and the eye of a storyteller. My sessions are family-focused, unhurried and tailored to you. Based in Dorchester, I welcome local expectant mothers who want beautiful maternity photos captured in a warm, friendly studio setting. If you’d like to chat about a maternity photoshoot or see the client wardrobe options, I’d love to hear from you — let’s capture this moment, together.
