Eastleigh maternity specialist Catherine Cronin offers relaxed, natural maternity photoshoots that celebrate your pregnancy. In-home or outdoor sessions with gentle direction and glowing bump portraits.
I’m Catherine — an Eastleigh-based maternity specialist who understands how fleeting and precious pregnancy is. After becoming a mum myself I trained as a professional photographer and discovered how powerful photos can be: a single image can transport you back to that unique, expectant moment. My maternity photography focuses on creating calm, beautiful portraits that celebrate your bump and the emotions that come with expecting a child. My approach is relaxed and natural. I prefer to use soft, natural light where possible and encourage organic moments rather than stiff posing. That said, I’ll offer gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera so we capture flattering, authentic images. Sessions can take place in your own home — a setting that feels familiar and allows you to relax — or outdoors at a location you love. I’m happy to venture out year‑round and will work with the light and surroundings to create warm, timeless maternity portraits. Practical comfort is important during pregnancy, so sessions are paced with regular breaks if needed. I typically recommend scheduling a maternity shoot between around 28–34 weeks, when your bump looks lovely but you still feel comfortable. Before your session I provide a pre-session guide and a friendly consultation to discuss styling, locations and any special requests — everything to make the day easy and enjoyable. My background as a primary school teacher has shaped how I work: I’m patient, reassuring and used to creating a relaxed atmosphere for people of all ages and needs. That experience, combined with my own journey into motherhood, means I understand how to make sessions feel warm, approachable and professional. I also bring studio lighting and indoor options if you prefer a controlled environment, alongside my preference for natural settings and candid moments. Choosing me for your maternity photoshoot means working with someone who genuinely values those fleeting months and aims to produce images you’ll treasure for years. If you’d like natural, emotive bump photography from an Eastleigh specialist who makes the experience comfortable and enjoyable, get in touch to discuss your maternity session and options.
