Nikki Goodeve Photography

I specialise in maternity photography from my studio in Haywards Heath, West Sussex — capturing the quiet strength, joy and beauty of pregnancy in elegant, timeless images. With a background in graphic design and a lifelong love of creating photographs that tell a story, I approach each maternity session with a careful, artful eye. My aim is to help you feel relaxed and confident so we can make images you’ll treasure for years to come. Every session is tailored around you. I take time to understand how you want to remember this moment — whether you prefer intimate, soft-lit portraits, striking bump silhouettes, or relaxed images that include a partner or family. I guide you gently through poses and lighting, creating a calm atmosphere where expecting mothers can feel comfortable and celebrated. My style blends natural, emotive portraiture with a fine-art sensibility, producing images that both reflect personality and work beautifully on the wall. As an award-winning photographer and a qualified member of The Guild of Photographers, I bring experience and attention to detail to every shoot. That experience shines through in how I use pose, composition and light to flatter and honour the changing shape of pregnancy. I also take pride in making the whole experience enjoyable — from our initial conversation to the final, carefully edited images — so clients leave with both beautiful photographs and a lovely memory of their session. Many clients choose to include their partner or older children, creating a family-focused record of anticipation and connection. If you’d prefer a quiet, individual portrait session, I’ll create a setting and flow that lets your personality and your bump take centre stage. I also offer guidance on wardrobe and styling to ensure your images feel cohesive and timeless. If you’re in Haywards Heath or nearby in West Sussex and looking for a maternity specialist with a gentle, story-led approach, I would love to work with you. My focus is always on crafting meaningful, beautifully finished images that celebrate this extraordinary time in your life.
