Fiona French Images specialises in relaxed maternity photography in Exeter and across Devon. Lifestyle bump and pregnancy photoshoots at home or on location, capturing natural, timeless portraits.
Fiona French Images is a specialist maternity photographer based in Exeter, working across Devon to create relaxed, timeless images that celebrate pregnancy. My approach is rooted in lifestyle photography — I favour natural light, gentle direction and a calm, friendly atmosphere so you can feel comfortable and look like yourself. Whether you choose the familiarity of your home or one of Devon’s beautiful outdoor locations, I aim to capture the quiet, powerful moments of expectation that become treasured family memories. I understand that pregnancy is a unique and sometimes vulnerable time. My sessions are designed to be low-pressure and personal: minimal posing, lots of natural interaction and space for you to breathe. Many clients find maternity photos most flattering and comfortable between around 32–38 weeks, but I’ll always work with your timing and needs. Dad, older children and even the family dog are welcome to join — including them often makes the pictures richer and more meaningful. What sets my maternity photography apart is a focus on authenticity. I want you to look back and recognise the feeling of that moment — the quiet laugh, the small hand on a bump, the light on a cheek — not just a posed portrait. My background in family and newborn photography means I’m practiced at working with mixed-age groups and sensitive moments: I’m patient, unhurried and adept at finding natural connections that translate into striking images. If you’re thinking beyond a single session, I offer a Bump & Baby option that links your maternity photographs with a subsequent newborn shoot, making it easy to document the transition from pregnancy to early parenthood. I’ll happily chat through locations I love around Exeter and Devon, or come to your home if you prefer a more intimate setting. Booking starts with a friendly conversation so we can see if we’re a good fit — I want you to enjoy the experience as much as the pictures. If you value authentic, understated maternity photography that feels natural and true to you, get in touch and let’s plan a relaxed session to celebrate this special time.
