As a dedicated maternity photographer based in Guildford, Ingrid Timmerman specialises in capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy. Her work focuses on creating maternity photos that feel timeless and personal — not posed or rushed — so each image reflects the real emotion and anticipation of this unique moment. Why choose Ingrid for your maternity photoshoot? She brings a specialist’s eye to pregnancy photography, combining years of experience with a calm, reassuring manner that helps clients relax in front of the camera. Ingrid’s images emphasise natural light, soft tones and subtle styling to highlight the curve of the bump and the connection between mother (and partner, if present) and baby-to-be. The result is a collection of maternity photos that are elegant, intimate and genuinely yours. Her approach is gentle and collaborative. Ingrid begins with a conversation about your preferences — whether you imagine classic portraits, relaxed lifestyle images at home, or simple studio shots that focus on silhouette and form. During the session she offers clear, compassionate direction to find flattering angles and natural poses, all while making space for spontaneous moments that tell your story. Many clients comment that the atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, allowing them to enjoy the experience as much as the final images. Ingrid’s photography philosophy centres on respect for each woman’s comfort and individuality. She pays careful attention to lighting, composition and subtle styling choices so the photographs remain timeless and meaningful as your family grows. Whether you’re looking for bump photography that is soft and romantic or pregnancy images with a strong, editorial feel, Ingrid tailors each shoot to your vision. Rooted in Guildford and serving expecting mothers across the area, Ingrid loves helping clients preserve this transformative time with photographs they’ll return to again and again. Her sessions are crafted to be unhurried, personal and deeply focused on celebrating pregnancy — creating keepsakes that honour the beginning of a new chapter.
