Because she positions herself as a maternity specialist — every decision, from lighting and locations to posing and pacing, is made with expectant mothers in mind. Her images emphasise natural tones, flattering light, and simple compositions that put your connection and the shape of your bump at the heart of each frame. The result is timeless, elegant maternity photography you’ll be proud to display. How Claire works with you: the process is planning-led but relaxed. It starts with a conversation about your vision — the styles you love, any favourite locations in Guildford or Godalming, and practical details to keep you comfortable on the day. On session day Claire uses natural light and subtle direction to capture moments that feel genuine: quiet portraits, tender gestures, and the small, meaningful details of pregnancy. Posing is always guided and never forced, designed to flatter and to let your personality shine through. Claire’s sessions are designed to feel like a calm, focused experience rather than a production. Expect clear communication, gentle encouragement, and an emphasis on safety and comfort throughout. After the shoot, selected images are carefully edited to maintain the natural look and mood of the session, providing a cohesive set of maternity photographs that tell your pregnancy story. Based in Godalming with a strong presence in Guildford, Claire Long Photography offers a warm, specialist service for expecting mothers who want maternity photos with heart. If you value natural light, timeless styling and a photographer who understands how to make pregnancy the focus, Claire provides an attentive, expert approach to preserve this special time.
