Martine Spijksma is a maternity specialist in Earlsfield, capturing honest, elegant pregnancy images. Relaxed lifestyle sessions—at home, outdoors or in a daylight studio—with styling support.
As a specialist in maternity photography based in Earlsfield, I focus on creating warm, timeless images that celebrate the unique beauty of pregnancy. My approach is rooted in lifestyle photography: I look for the quiet, tender moments—the way a hand rests on a bump, the soft exchange between partners, the simple joy of anticipation—and craft those into images that feel natural, intimate and authentic. You should choose me because I photograph pregnancy with a mother’s understanding and a photographer’s eye. I know how fleeting this time is and how meaningful it is to have photos that truly reflect how you felt. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried: we work where you feel most comfortable — in your home, on a nearby patch of nature, or in my daylight studio — and I guide you gently so the images remain genuine rather than overly posed. For those images that benefit from a little styling, I do create composed, flattering portraits that highlight your bump while still keeping the session feeling personal and effortless. One of the things that sets my maternity work apart is the care I take in preparation: before the shoot we’ll have a quick chat and a short questionnaire so I understand your wishes and any insecurities. I offer styling advice tailored to your shape and personality and invite you to make use of my inclusive client wardrobe (sizes 36–56) so you don’t have to worry about outfits. Outfit changes are possible, and I help with simple posing and small prompts so you can relax and enjoy the moment. Technically and creatively I aim for clean, natural light, soft colour palettes and compositions that emphasise connection and emotion. Whether you want soft, editorial-style bump portraits or candid moments that tell the story of your family-to-be, I tailor each session to your vision. If you’re expecting in Earlsfield or the surrounding area and want maternity photos that feel like you—beautiful, honest and personal—let’s talk. I recommend booking around 30–36 weeks for the ideal silhouette, and I’m happy to help plan the session so you can relax and enjoy being photographed.
