Charlie May Photography

Hi — I’m Charlie. As the owner of Charlie May Photography I specialise in maternity photography, capturing the gentle, powerful beauty of pregnancy in a style that feels natural, warm and personal. Based in Surrey and serving Egham and the surrounding area, I create maternity photoshoots designed to celebrate this unique chapter for you and your family. Why choose me? My approach is rooted in listening and ease. Before photography became my full‑time work I spent ten years as a nanny, and that experience taught me how to build trust, put people at ease, and create calm, joyful environments. I bring that same sensitivity to every pregnancy photoshoot — whether you prefer the intimacy of my home studio or the comfort of an at‑home session. My aim is to make maternity and bump photography feel relaxed and beautiful, letting your natural connection and anticipation shine through. What makes my maternity photoshoots different is the balance of posed and natural moments. I guide gentle poses that flatter and celebrate your shape, while also encouraging candid, soft interactions — subtle touches, quiet smiles and simple movement — to capture honest, emotional images. I work with flattering natural light, simple timeless styling and a relaxed pace so you feel comfortable throughout the session. How we work together: we start with a short conversation about what you’d like to remember — mood, wardrobe ideas and whether you’d like partner or family images included. On the day I create a welcoming atmosphere and guide you through poses and prompts so you can focus on the moment. I pride myself on a warm, friendly approach that helps even those who aren’t used to being photographed feel confident. My passion is preserving the fleeting, powerful moments of pregnancy. If you’re looking for maternity photos that are personal, natural and made with care in Egham and Surrey, I’d love to chat and plan a session that honours this special time in your life.
