Cheryl Small Photography

Hi, I’m Cheryl — a mum of two and a specialist maternity photographer based near East Grinstead. I believe pregnancy is one of the most beautiful, fleeting chapters of a family’s story, and my aim is to create maternity photographs that feel honest, intimate and timeless. As someone who watches families grow, I know how quickly these moments pass — which is why I approach every maternity photoshoot with care, patience and a real love for capturing connection. My style favours soft, natural light and relaxed direction that lets you feel comfortable and look like yourself. Whether you prefer the controlled calm of my Edenbridge studio or the golden tones of an on-location shoot, I focus on creating a calm, easy atmosphere where you can breathe, move and enjoy the experience. I’ll guide you into flattering poses, highlight the curve of your bump, and document those quiet, emotional moments between you and your loved ones. I tailor each maternity session to your personality and comfort level — from simple, elegant portraits to relaxed family-focused images that include your partner or older children. My sessions are gentle and unhurried: I take the time to listen to what matters to you, suggest styling ideas if needed, and make sure you feel supported throughout. The result is a collection of pregnancy photos that feel warm, authentic and personal — photographs you’ll return to for years to come. Based on the Kent/Surrey border, I regularly photograph expecting mothers across East Grinstead and surrounding areas in Surrey, Kent and Sussex. I’m proud to blend a friendly, conversational approach with professional experience so clients leave feeling relaxed and delighted with their images. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who treats your pregnancy with the tenderness it deserves, I’d love to chat. Let’s create maternity portraits that celebrate this unique time in your life — because these moments matter.
