As a mother herself with a long career photographing people, Olivia understands how precious this time is and aims to capture the quiet, tender moments that often pass unnoticed. Her work favours natural light, gentle posing and an informal, calm atmosphere so each image feels authentic and full of feeling. Why choose Olivia for your maternity photoshoot? She blends technical experience with a reassuring, relaxed manner that helps even those new to being photographed feel at ease. Olivia’s background in portraiture and life events means she knows how to find beautiful light, flattering angles and honest connection — all while keeping the session comfortable for an expecting mother. Her sessions are carefully tailored: Olivia listens to your ideas, offers outfit and location guidance, and focuses on creating images that reflect your personality and the relationship you share with your partner or family. Her approach is rooted in lifestyle storytelling rather than staged studio work. Whether you prefer the intimacy of your home, the softness of a local outdoor spot, or a coastline she loves, Olivia creates a gentle, unhurried shoot designed around you. She guides poses with kindness, encourages natural movement and uses simple prompts to draw out genuine smiles and quiet, reflective moments of connection with your bump. Working with Olivia is collaborative and personable. From the first enquiry she offers practical tips on preparing for the shoot and what to wear, then leads a relaxed session that prioritises comfort and safety. The result is a collection of maternity photos that feel timeless — images you’ll return to again and again.
