With a warm, patient manner and a clear eye for natural light and gentle composition, Vanessa focuses on creating relaxed, authentic pregnancy photos that celebrate the quiet beauty of expectant mothers. Why choose Vanessa Keevil Photography for your maternity shoot? Vanessa brings an experienced, nurturing approach that puts clients at ease. She believes the best maternity photographs come from calm, comfortable sessions in familiar surroundings — often in your own home — where light, connection and emotion can be captured naturally. Her style is soft, timeless and unforced, prioritising genuine moments over stiff posing. What makes her approach special is the combination of practical experience and personal empathy. As a mother herself, Vanessa understands the emotion and significance of this time. She uses gentle prompts and a conversational style to help you relax, guiding simple poses and small movements that feel natural and flattering. The result is a collection of images that feel like you — warm, intimate and meaningful. How Vanessa works: each maternity session begins with a friendly chat to understand your vision, preferred locations (home or a nearby spot in Godalming), and any styling ideas. She offers guidance on timing for the best bump shape, outfit suggestions and how to include a partner or children if you wish. On the day, Vanessa creates a calm atmosphere, works with available natural light and moves at your pace. Your images are then carefully edited to retain the soft, honest look that defines her work. Vanessa is dedicated to preserving this fleeting chapter with respect and care. Whether you’re seeking elegant bump portraits or a gentle, documentary-style record of family anticipation, she specialises in maternity photography that feels personal and timeless. Based in Godalming, Vanessa welcomes enquiries from across Surrey & West Sussex — get in touch to discuss a bespoke maternity session and let her help you capture these precious beginnings.
