Lucy Poulaki Photography

I’m Lucy — a Hayling Island maternity photographer who specialises in soulful, natural pregnancy photography. My work is about more than flattering poses: it’s about honouring this remarkable chapter and giving you images that feel as true as the way you remember the moment. I lean into soft, honest light, gentle prompts and a calm, unhurried atmosphere so your photos reflect the real tenderness and quiet power of pregnancy. Your experience begins the moment you arrive. My cosy home studio is designed as a sanctuary: neutral tones, soft music, scented candles and a warm welcome. I keep a client wardrobe of comfortable, boho dresses and wraps so you can step straight into the session without the stress of outfit planning. If you’d prefer fresh air, I also love shooting at golden hour on nearby beaches, in secluded fields or in wooded glades — locations chosen for privacy, beautiful light and timeless backgrounds. I photograph expecting mothers with a gentle, empathetic approach. Sessions are relaxed and guided rather than staged. I’ll offer a few prompts to help you connect and feel present, then step back and capture the small, honest moments — the hand on the bump, the soft exchange of a smile, the stillness of a breath. My editing favours warm, natural tones and an airy, organic look that will sit beautifully on your walls for years to come. Choosing me means choosing a photographer who cares about your comfort as much as the final images. I’m a listener and a friend; I’ll make sure you feel seen, safe and celebrated throughout. Many clients tell me the session felt more like a catch-up with an old friend than a photoshoot — and that ease shows in the photographs. If you’re looking for meaningful maternity photography on Hayling Island or across Hampshire, let’s talk. Whether you want studio elegance or an outdoor adventure at sunset, I’ll help you create maternity portraits that you’ll come back to again and again — images that remind you how powerful, beautiful and loved you were in that moment.
