SP Photography

SP Photography is a specialist maternity photographer based in Hartlepool, dedicated to creating calm, confident and beautifully styled pregnancy photography. We focus on maternity as a core discipline — capturing the quiet strength, emotion and glow of expectant mothers with a gentle, personal approach. Our aim is to turn this fleeting time into a collection of timeless images you’ll treasure. Why choose SP Photography for your maternity photoshoot? We treat each session as a collaboration. From the moment you enquire, we listen to your vision — whether you prefer elegant, posed portraits or soft, natural lifestyle images — and tailor the session to reflect your personality and comfort level. Working regularly in our Hartlepool studio means we control light, colour and atmosphere to create flattering, consistent results that emphasise the beauty of your bump. Our approach is relaxed and reassuring. We use a calm, conversational style to help you feel at ease in front of the camera, guiding poses in a way that feels natural and comfortable. We pay attention to small details — hands, posture, gentle curves and expressions — so the finished images feel intimate and authentic, not staged. Many of our clients appreciate the warm, friendly studio environment where partners and family can be included when desired, creating images that celebrate connection as well as the mum-to-be. Technically, SP Photography combines careful lighting, considered composition and soft, timeless editing to produce maternity images that look as good on your wall as they do in your album. We respect the sensitivity of maternity sessions, prioritising safety and comfort throughout, and adapt poses and timing to suit how you’re feeling that day. Based in Hartlepool and serving families across the North East and wider GB, SP Photography specialises in maternity work while also offering related family and newborn services. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer who treats your pregnancy portraits with care, creativity and professionalism, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to discuss your ideas, reserve a studio session, or arrange a relaxed pre-session chat — we’re here to make this special chapter look and feel wonderful.
