Claire Walder Photography

I specialise in maternity photography from my cosy home studio in Hersham, proudly serving Esher and the surrounding area. My approach to a maternity photoshoot is personal and considered: I aim to create beautiful, classic and timeless pregnancy portraits that celebrate this unique chapter in your life. Whether you’re after intimate bump photography or a more stylised pregnancy photoshoot, I work with you to capture the quiet strength and glow of expectant motherhood. My style is relaxed, natural and elegant. I believe the best maternity photos come when you feel comfortable and cared for, so sessions are unhurried and tailored to you. I guide poses gently, suggest flattering wardrobe options and use soft, thoughtful lighting to create images that feel warm and timeless. Many clients tell me they appreciate the calm, friendly atmosphere — I want your maternity session to feel like a special and enjoyable experience to remember. Working with me means working with an experienced, award-recognised photographer who values craftsmanship as much as connection. I take the time to understand how you want to be photographed — from classic portraiture to softer, documentary-style images — and I collaborate with you to deliver maternity photos that reflect your personality and story. Your images are edited carefully to enhance the natural tones and mood, producing prints and digital files that you’ll cherish for years to come. Beyond the camera, I focus on making the whole process simple and supportive. I’ll advise on timing for the best bump shape, discuss wardrobe choices and plan poses that feel comfortable. My studio provides a warm, private setting where you can relax, and I welcome partners and family members for a few shots if you’d like them included. If you’re searching for specialist maternity photography in Esher, I’d love to hear about your vision. My aim is to create maternity photos that honour this remarkable time — images you will look back on with pride and affection. Contact me to find out more or to arrange your maternity photoshoot.
