Gillian Walsh is a specialist maternity photographer based in Hazel Grove, bringing a warm, personal approach to every pregnancy photoshoot. Photography is her passion, not just a job — she aims to capture your unique story and the quiet beauty of this life-changing season. Whether you prefer the calm of her studio or the comfort of your own home, Gillian creates an atmosphere where expecting mothers feel relaxed, confident and genuinely seen. Her maternity photography centres on natural, timeless portraits that celebrate the bump and the emotional connection between partners and family. Gillian’s style is gentle and unobtrusive: she blends thoughtful direction with plenty of encouragement so you look and feel your best without feeling staged. Expect a calm, conversational session where simple prompts and small moments produce authentic smiles, intimate pauses and those fleeting, tender gestures that make maternity images so meaningful. Working with families is second nature to Gillian, so partners and siblings are welcomed into sessions when you’d like to include them. She understands how important it is to capture the full family story — the excited glance, the hand on the bump, the loving interactions that will become treasured keepsakes. After the shoot, each image is carefully edited to a high standard and presented in formats that work beautifully at home: prints, framed pieces and bespoke wall art are available following a free consultation to help you choose the perfect display. Gillian’s process is flexible and centred on your needs. She listens to your ideas, suggests poses and locations that flatter and feels for the light and mood that suit your vision. From short bump-only sessions to longer lifestyle shoots that include nursery details or on-location backdrops around Manchester & Cheshire, every maternity photoshoot is tailored to reflect your personality and the look you love. Choosing Gillian Walsh Photography means choosing a calm, experienced hand to document one of the most special chapters in your life. With patience, care and an eye for the sincere moments, Gillian preserves memories that take you back to this exact time — your pregnancy, your anticipation and your growing family.
