Sandi Studio Photography

I’m Sandra, the photographer behind Sandi Studio, and maternity photography is one of the services I’m most passionate about. Based in Poundbury, Dorchester, I specialise in calm, romantic maternity photoshoots that celebrate the tenderness, strength and quiet magic of pregnancy. My style is natural, light‑filled and timeless — I love soft, emotional portraits and expressive black & white images that become keepsakes for generations. Why choose Sandi Studio for your maternity session? I approach every maternity shoot as a personalised story. Sessions are pre-booked and we’ll work together to build a session plan that suits your vision, from wardrobe and styling ideas to posing that flatters your changing body. My aim is to make you feel relaxed and radiant: I give gentle direction, create a warm and unhurried atmosphere in the studio, and look for those authentic, unscripted moments that reveal real emotion. Studio or gentle lifestyle: many expectant mothers prefer the cosy comfort of my Poundbury studio — a space designed for natural light and a relaxed experience. If you prefer an outdoor feel, I can apply the same lifestyle sensibility to a Dorset location, using sunset light or peaceful settings to create intimate, glowing portraits. Either way, the focus is always on you: your connection with your partner, the anticipation of your family, and the simple beauty of this unique stage. My years of experience photographing families, newborns and portraits means I understand how to create images that feel personal and authentic. I bring thoughtful care to every detail — from posing and composition to gentle retouching — and I’m proud my work has earned international recognition (35AWARDS top 7%). If you want maternity photos that feel romantic, honest and beautifully timeless, I’d love to talk through ideas and plan a session that truly reflects you.
