Lillian's Lens Photography

Lillian's Lens is a specialist maternity photographer based in Exmouth, Devon. Run by Danielle, a UK & internationally published photographer and mother of four, the studio is dedicated to creating maternity photos that feel as beautiful as they look — images that capture how this moment in your life truly feels. Why choose Lillian's Lens for your maternity photoshoot? Danielle’s approach is rooted in empathy and calm. Having juggled motherhood herself, she understands how fleeting pregnancy moments are and how important it is to preserve them with care. Her sessions are designed to make you feel empowered, confident and comfortable — not posed or stiff. The result is a collection of natural, editorial-leaning portraits that celebrate the connection between you and your changing body. The studio experience is warm and relaxed. From the moment you enquire, Danielle works to understand what matters to you: the mood you want, any wardrobe preferences, and how relaxed or styled you’d like your session to be. On the day, she provides outfits and accessories to take the stress out of planning, and guides you with gentle prompts and light direction so every image looks effortless and genuine. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive — a space where expecting mothers can feel safe to express themselves. Stylistically, Lillian's Lens favours timeless, neutral tones and clean editing that places the focus on emotion, silhouette and detail. Whether you’re after intimate close-ups of your bump, dramatic studio portraits, or soft, natural light images, Danielle adapts her lighting and composition to suit your vision while keeping the final gallery cohesive and enduring. As a specialist in maternity photography, Danielle balances technical skill with a personal touch: careful posing, thoughtful lighting and an emphasis on capturing feeling rather than forced poses. Clients often tell her they felt at ease and empowered by the session — memories they return to again and again. Serving Exmouth, Devon and clients across the UK, Lillian's Lens offers maternity photoshoots that prioritise comfort, connection and timeless storytelling. If you want pregnancy portraits that reflect the real you — confident, radiant and deeply human — Danielle will welcome you to the studio and create images you’ll treasure forever.
