Rachel Fairfield Photography

Hi — I’m Rachel. As an award‑winning maternity photographer based in Esher, Surrey, I specialise in maternity photography that feels calm, natural and beautifully simple. I believe pregnancy is a unique chapter you’ll want to remember exactly as it felt, and I build every maternity photoshoot around making you feel relaxed, confident and genuinely cared for. My approach is specialist and personal. I aim to create timeless bump portraits rather than trending poses; the images I love to make are soft, honest and focused on connection — between you and your partner, your bump, or the wider family if you’d like to include them. Whether you choose my light, purpose‑built home studio in Esher or a nearby outdoor location, I work gently and deliberately to find flattering light, simple compositions and those quiet moments that become treasured photographs. To help you feel your best on the day, I provide a thoughtfully curated client maternity wardrobe of dresses chosen for flattering fits and neutral tones. You’ll also receive detailed pre‑session guidance so you know what to expect, what to wear and how to prepare. I pride myself on putting even the most camera‑shy parents at ease with gentle direction and an easygoing, friendly atmosphere. My background as a Photography Institute graduate and many years photographing families means I balance creative vision with practical experience. As a mum myself, I understand the small stresses around pregnancy and can advise on timing — most clients prefer to book between around 32–37 weeks so the bump is beautifully rounded while still comfortable. I’m proud to have built a collection of five‑star reviews and to have work featured in editorial outlets; more importantly, I love the conversations I have with families before and after a session. If you’re seeking a specialist maternity photographer in Esher and South West London who prioritises calm, natural imagery and a personalised experience, I’d love to hear from you.
